Time to donate again?

I've got a question out with the clinic, do they need me to donate again?

I'd like to get to my ten family limit, and most importantly if any of the existing families I've helped would like another brother or sister more donations may be required.

As I've mentioned before, I think it is important for siblings to share a common genetic background - I know how I'd feel if I was a donor conceived child, I'd feel more secure if I had the same genetic Father as my brother or sister.

I'll probably have a vasectomy once our family is complete. Though that may be with this pregnancy, or perhaps the next? Who knows?

Clinic Update

I contacted the clinic recently to find out the current situation regarding their success in using the sperm that I had donated during 2007/2008.

The news that I got was fantastic. I was able to help seven families conceive, of which a number have complete their pregnancies and some are currently in progress.

If you are a Mother or a Father, or someone that is working towards having a child - you appreciate how fabulous this is.

The Thin Blue Line

We did a test today as my wife hadn't gotten PMT which was very obvious :) and she was due AF from yesterday.

We got two lines - the control line - and a very, very faint blue line.

If so then baby'd be due in the first half of June.

We are very excited, scared, and realise that it may be a chemical pregnancy or just a trick of the light - as I did leave the test to develop for 5 minutes longer than we should have.
