Cheque this out

I got my final cheque for completing the final blood tests,

That brings it to £250, which really doesn't cover my transport costs, certainly doesn't cover the costs of the time I took off work, and doesn't cover the injustice of multiple stabs of needles.

So final tot up, travel costs, £500, time off work £1,000 (based on my take home pay, not the cost to clients) so a grand total of £1500 minus £250, I am '£1,250' out of pocket.

Basing 11 visits x 5 days without sex, that's 55 days, and at £150 a pop (though as being married I can't actually charge my wife for this) it comes to £8,250, so the true cost of donating is £9,500. I could do a lot with £9,500.

Okay, some minor exaggeration, but really, Sperm Donation in the UK needs a firm overhaul if it is to succeed at any time in the future.

The Line is Drawn at Jodie Marsh

I *really* hope my sperm doesn't go to Jodie Marsh ...

See this story in The Sun newspaper where Jodie claims to have become as lesbian and is asking for Sperm Donations in a very distasteful manner.

For readers of this blog outside of the UK, Jodie Marsh is the 'failed version' of Jordan (Katie Price) and does anything and everything to try and become as popular as the lovely Jordan ... and fails miserably.

All Blood Tests Complete

I had my final blood and urine tests today - and will get sent the results when they are back from the lab. I'll update when I receive them.

The clinic's used the first half of my donations - and this test will release the remainder.

The needle didn't hurt too much this time! Oh okay it did but it was over quickly.

I'll find out next year whether there were any pregnancies or births. I'm very interested in learning how many children are born as a result of my donations - and will make sure my children know of what to potentially expect in the future.
