I was pretty lucky to have another using the same donor :)
I spoke to Emma but decided not to go ahead with being involved as I didnt want to appear on tv lol
Hows life with a 8 week old, mines 8 months and just started crawling, it seems so long ago that he was just a little baby(not that little thou lol)

I have used a known donor and have some sperm stored for when I am ready. Gosh strange to think I am even talking about number 2 already.
Life is more amazing than I imagined... I have been in the childcare industry for years and heard so many stories good and bad about parenthood so am lucky enough to appreciate my happy settled baby.
So have you found any support groups for SMCs? Met up with anyone else?

Hi, my wee girl is now 19 months and a terror of a toddler (gorgeous though).If anyone is in Wellington & would like to meet up I would love to catch up for a chat. All my family is in Europe, so it would be great to meet others who have done the same as me.
I'm working full time as well, so life is pretty full on.
I do still have 1 embryo in frozen storage, but I'm still trying to make that decision to give it a go or not. I'm now 45, so need to make that call pretty soon I guess. Anyway, good to know that everything is going well for you all. :)

You possibly already know, but there is an online forum dedicated to SMBC, it is Australian based though.

Hello
I have just taken the first step to becoming a smbc! Exciting but wondering if anyone out there is willing to met up and fill me in on all the real ins and outs of it? I'm in Wellington!
By the way- congrats to everyone who has done it! So amazing!

Hi there, I know that I'm replying to an old post but I'd be really interested in knowing where you advertised for a donor. My situation sounds very similar. Thanks

Hey. It was fascinating to read this thread. I am hoping that there is someone on here from Christchurch who is thinking about becoming or who is already a single mother by choice. I am still young, but want to prepare myself to go it alone. With no partner in sight, I'm quickly losing hope! I had always wanted to have kids young (in my early 20's) while I still have the energy. So here I am, 23 years old, wanting to chat with others about how you went about becoming a parent without a partner.

Hi guys
I have just started this SMBC journey too! I am in my mid-late 30s, and just thought it was time to get going with kids (I have always known I was going to have them). After being on the FA sperm waiting list for 2 years, I am now starting my first cycle of IUI - so excited!
I had a look for a NZ-based blog/detailed personal story about the experience of doing this alone, but couldn't find anything. So I have started a blog, which I am hoping helps give information to anyone wanting to do this themselves, and who might want a bit more information about what the day-to-day experience of this journey is like.
The blog address is https://choicesymbiotenz.wordpress.com/
I hope it is useful to someone out there...
