Just out of curiosity, have there been any women who conceived a child through invitro fertilization and did?

Question

not have a partner/spouse? Has there ever been any virgins who have done this?

Answer 1

please take a moment to consider my perspective:

i am a product of a donor. i wish i weren't.

my mom too is a single mom by choice. i am her only child. she had me by intratubal insemination. she had many difficulties having me, but finally was successful. she too wanted a sibling for me and tried again, but was unsuccessful. now that i'm older and on my search for the man i will most likely never know, along with siblings that i more than likely will never find, or at least not all of them, i know that being born in this way is not how any child ought to be. it is hell growing up not knowing if every man on the street could be "him" or having to ask every person you date what their dad did in his past (to make sure you're not dating your half-sibling). now i'm not saying that i don't love my mom- i will be the first to tell you that she is my very best friend. and i completely believe she is a brave woman. she did this all of her own accord, not telling my grandparents until after she was pregnant with me. however, if i could have been born any other way, i would do it in a heartbeat. however, that's not my choice and never was. but i can speak for the majority of all of us offspring that we would all have rathered been born from normal circumstances and had a chance to know our fathers. please reconsider. our pain is deep and everlasting. we have walk with an eternal identity crisis because we only know half of ourselves, and because there are pieces of us walking around that we'll never have contact with (our siblings). it is a very lonely feeling, i promise you.

i would advise you to look further into the situation of donor offspring, because no matter what, your child (or potential child) comes first. if you want what's best for it, you have to make a decision: do you want it to live with this pain? feel free to message me back if you would like more information, as i can refer many other offspring to you so that they can give you their stories and perspectives too.

Answer 2

Have you looked into artificial insemination. If you don't have a partner that would be the better way to go, and cheaper. It 's also a lot less draining on your body. IVF is emotionally and physically draining, it takes so much time, energy, money, it's a tough road.
