In Vitro Fertilization with Unknown Sperm Donor
Posted on 2/18/24 at 9:15 am
Posted on 2/18/24 at 9:15 am
Long story short, my wife and I have both agreed we want to start a family. The only hesitation is on my end because of my genetics. I suffer from high blood pressure and severe allergies/asthma, both of which are strongly hereditary and run in my family. And while it hasn't impacted me yet, major vision problems also run in my family. Both my dad and my older sister are legally blind without glasses or contacts.
I want a child but I don't want to pass along my faulty genetics. We are seriously considering doing IVF with sperm from an unknown donor, not my own sperm. My wife's only concern is that I won't have the same level of connection with the child knowing genetically it's not my own. I personally don't have that concern.
Has anyone else here done this? What was your experience? Did it cause any impact with your relationship with the child (any thoughts of feeling like the child really isn't yours)? Any impacts down the road when the child was older?

No guarantees it will pass down, and even if it does it ain’t that bad.

Your heathen arse needs to be in church this morning instead of creating more alters for dumbass trolls.

Everyone has some imperfection. None of yours are major or huge health risks from what you mentioned. Have your own kids.

You’re telling your wife that you have bad genetics and want another guy’s DNA inside her? Bold move

Who's to say the donor doesn't have worse issues?

Over blood pressure and asthma?

Voluntarily cucking yourself. Interesting move.

What is the vision issue? Inherited retinal disease that has been diagnosed?

Sounds like you don’t know the definition of legally blind

PIIHB and you will have a brown baby, or she will.

I know it has its own issues but adopt. Tons of already needy kids that need a loving home

My ex wife used to have it done. You can basically pick a profile that matches you looks wise and what genetics you want. The better the candidate and sperm count, the more money.

might let her take some sperm . Sounds like she needs it.

I honestly can’t imagine any man voluntarily choosing another man’s sperm unless he couldn’t produce any.

The opposite. donor eggs in Czech Republic (Zlin) for my wife.
It will not matter to you at all. The bond will be immediate and unbelievable between you and your son/daughter from birth.
Just do it and quit over-thinking it. Going to be awesome.

You think IVF is cheap, easy, or a 100% guaranteed sucess?
How about this idea:
Take the money you would have spent on IVF and invest it. Have your potentially defective child. IF at some point in the future Junior has HBP, asthma, or bad vision; the money you invested should be able to pay for plenty of BP meds, inhalers, and/or glasses? Who knows what the future holds with an anonymous sperm donor.
