How often do you actually look forward to your periods arrival? That's exactly the position I'm in right now. I peed on a stick this morning and it was VERY negative. The clinic had told me to wait until Saturday morning but as today was 15 DPO I went ahead and tested. I have every sign that it's about to start but apparently my body has decided to play tricks on me this month and gift me with the longest cycle I've had since just after I gave birth last time. CD33 and no period. I just want it to arrive so I can move on to the next try.
Would you find it weird to use the same sperm donor as people you "know"? I've met two women through a group I belong to and one of them has 4-5 extra vials of sperm in storage in my city. She is willing to sell them to me one at a time which is an added bonus, and actually her idea. Coincidentally, it was actually my first choice donor (the boys' donor has retired and I can't get any more vials) but when I went back to the site there were no longer any Canadian compliant units available. I had chosen another "first choice" which is still available. I'm just torn as to how I feel about using the donor knowing in advance about his siblings. Will the boy feel left out if the new baby has "siblings" that he doesn't?
What do you think?

I actually think it's a good idea to know about the siblings in advance- you know about proven fertility and know that not much has popped up in the way of weird genetics (Which I think is a risk with anonymous sperm donation despite all the testing- we can't test for everything yet).
I have actually been in contact with some of my son's donor siblings parents through the donor sibling registry. The difference to me is that I've actually met one of the women who used the donor I was considering. That is the part I felt weird about. My child may meet his donor siblings at some point but I want it to be on his terms rather than mine.
