Sparklie~thank you! same for you honey!

The upside is, he is accomodating of my schedule, genuinely wants to help/inseminate on time, etc.

However, he's said we should "reconsider the delivery method"--he wants NI. I don't. Then when I said no he asked if I'd like to stay in the room while he's doing his thing. . .

I know many donors will do NI, and I have no judgment about that, but it just felt creepy. Watch him masturbate? Participate?

Thing is, I'm after his sperm, and genes, not personality or proclivities. And he's a donor at a local sperm bank, so his count and STDs are regularly checked by professionals. And he is reliable as far as making donations when I need them.

I think maybe I'll look for back up during this 2WW, which I'm in now.

Thoughts? Is he one of the bad ones?

I do NI with my donor, and i dont find it creepy

BUT

if i was doing AI i wouldnt want to watch him wank off that IS weird

 

[DesiDiva]

If we'd agreed on NI it would be different but it was AI from the get-go and I don't like him pushing me to move away from that, and though I talked him down, it feels like pressure.

Mind you I'm not giving in, just hate to lose a regularly tested, vetted by a sperm bank, reliable donor logistics-wise.

No, definatly dont do something your not happy with x

 

[sparklie]

Sounds a weirdo to me, if you said ai from the get go then you mean ai and he should respect that. I couldn't ever imagine my donor asking me to watch him ewwww creepy!

I would try some other sites for another donor tbh, if it were me I'd be really wary of him now and couldn't trust him at all.

As Ticking says don't do anything you're not 100% happy with, there's other donors out there who are genuine xx

Ticking, I see both Tadpoles are down, shame as I was enjoying the the debate between ni and ai lol

Morning ladies, has anyone on here used egg whites? I did yesterday so hopefully it helped the swimmers on their way. I used a powdered one from the supermarket, very easy to make up but weird doing it lol.

Yeah I was called "someone who cant pull, and hires an escort" cos im doing NI,
I am "dating" a guy, very early days but hes had snip so even if things got serious he couldn't give me a baby anyway!

Ticking I read that post and didn't respond as it would have turned into a full blown war! She needs to put a sock in her gob and stop being so hostile towards other members.

I've copied and pasted these from another site, hth xxx

Yes you can, I work in a pharmacy and checked with the pharmacist. She said they were all fine but to stay away from the anaesthetic/antibiotic ones and the ones that are strong Menthol, so you can have any of the fruit flavoured ones.

My pharmacist said that Soothers no longer contain any medication, so it's just like eating boiled sweets with a liquid centre. I ate loads when my throat was bad
