And I wish I had of joined the forum a lot earlier it's amazing how comforting it is - that it's not just you, there are others that get it. Anyway fx for tues. we have been cancelled three times this round.

JoWags your story is amazing!!! The strength and resilience you must possess to go through this journey for 10 years and your donors are such wonderful people to be able to do this for you.

Good luck for tuesday!!

We were looking at anonymous sperm. At the time the Aussie bank did not have much to select from, the USA information with the amount of detail was incredible - are u going abroad for the sperm. All the best to you. When we first looked at sperm donor my DH needed a fair bit of time to get his head around it. He got there it just had to be in his time. For me I was always a nurture girl in the nature vs nurture debate so it was a no brainer. My fav analogy is I'm baking a cake. I need to borrow some milk and eggs from people but we are cooking it. It's my cake. I get to eat and enjoy my cake.

The incredible thing for us is our donors approached us and offered. It's crazy to think how invested friends and family are in the journey as well. I'm a very open person though so everyone in my circle knows what's going on.
