What else can I do?
2006-06-25 09:58:28 · update #1
do what my lesbian friends in new zealand do -- ask a male friend to donate some sperm, then use a needle-less syringe to inseminate yourself.
don't use a sperm bank unless you can get the identification of the guy who donated the sperm -- his name, address and phone number at the very least -- because eventually your child will want to research the other half of their genetic heritage and LOTS of children of anonymous sperm donations are really angry about not being able to find out "where they came from ".
some people here have recommended adoption. i don't. the adoption industry is a huge money maker for adoption lawyers and agencies and they don't tell you how many adult adoptees like my best friend return to their real families again or how the blood-bond is often far stronger than raising a child. i know several adult adoptees who have not only searched and reunited, but also are changing back their names and getting "re-adopted". another adoptee friend of mine, age 38, is getting her adoption legally annulled.
and mothers who make "adoption plans" during pregnancy have no idea how they'll feel once the baby is born and then they feel coerced into surrendering -- leaves them with many many problems including unresolved grief/loss, PTSD, depression, secondary infertility, etc. i'd not wish this on anyone (i work in a mental health clinic and i see patients with these illnesses)
the DIY "turkey baster method" is a tried and true method, not just a joke. (just don't use a real turkey baster for the job).
good luck!

OK, you go to google and look up "sperm bank" and put in your city and find the closest one.

try adoption or a surrogate mother maybe. Or, maybe you have a really good guy friend who is willing to help you out. Good luck whatever you choose!
