My parents used a donor to have me I don’t know anyone else that can relate im 17 has anyone else been made this way? I don’t know anything about my biological dad bc he’s a donor obviously

I don’t know if this is the right group or if it will be helpful but i was conceived in the uk through iui and i just wanted to let you know that you’ve got this!! It may be scary at first if you want any questions to know about what it’s like growing up as conceived that way let me know when my mom went through this in 2009 she had to take lots of medications there was 3 eggs but 2 of them stuck me and my brother! She used donor sperm from a clinic since my dad was infertile it was successful on the first try (if your in the uk depending on where you live and your situation you get 3 rounds free on the nhs) It’s good to be open with your kids from the start just so it’s not a shock to them in later life don’t keep it a secret if you can my mom told me when I was 8 and I had to keep it a secret from my family since she didn’t know how to answer my questions and when they are 18 and decide if they want to find there donor be open to the decision they will always be your baby no matter what but at the end of the day it is up to you you don’t have to listen to me I only know my donors height hair colour and eye colour since that’s all they told my mum but when the child is 16 you can apply on the website hfea to find out some details about the donor but when your 18 you can find out all of them this might not be your situation but I was just sharing my story in case any other person is the same

My mom and dad couldn’t have kids so they went to a clinic and used a donor sperm to have me I wish they never did I feel so alone I’ve never met anyone who was conceived in the same way apart from my brother who I don’t speak to anymore let alone my age I see story’s on Reddit about people who are similar to what im going through but they are never my age always older and it’s always a very small group of people im to ashamed to talk about it with my family and friends since I was made to keep it a secret all these years truth is nobody really understands unless you are that person going through that I wish every day that I know who that side of my family is I have a dad but he’s not my biological dad obviously it makes me sad that I was never related to my cousin all these years sometimes I wish I was so maybe I could be as pretty as her my mom has only spoken about how I was conceived several times since then I’ve had to search everything up myself it just made me more sad and lonely since no one else relates I feel so embarrassed to even have to do it

If it’s not what’s it like As a Brit i always wanted to go to one to me they all just looked like the ones on victorious 🤣

Do you like it? from many British accents

If there were no consequences what would you name yourself this day and age?

Love the name jade but not sure if it’s to 90s as I haven’t heard many girls called it in the 2000s anything even with the name jade hyphened on the end of a name it’s so beautiful

I absolutely love this name for a girl but not sure if it’s to “boyish” should I go for it? Could also be spelt Jamie-leigh
