  Female Patient

  Patient A and Patient B have been together for a few years and recently married.

  Both knew when they met they each wanted to be parents one day and had always known that achieving this would require the assistance of a donor. After initially considering a known sperm donor option, they both made a decision to complete the recipient pathway with the use of a clinic recruited sperm donor. Patient A and Patient B feel excited that they may both now have the opportunity to carry a pregnancy and create their family.

  Patient C met her now partner later in life.

  Having always known she wanted children in the context of a stable relationship, she had not been willing to settle for anything less than a loving and equal partnership. Once her current partnership was established, she and her partner were keen to begin a family but pregnancy was not happening. Like so many women who are in their late 30s/early 40s, she found out her eqq quality was poor and the likelihood of pregnancy with her own eggs was unlikely. When their specialist raised the idea of donor eggs, she and her partner felt a renewed sense of hope that they would still achieve the family they had each waited so long for.

  Patient E was a teenager when he was diagnosed with a form of testicular cancer.

  He embarked on cancer treatment under the care of his parents and specialist at a time when little or not thought was given to the future and possible effect of this treatment on his sperm quality and his future fertility.  Patient E is now a married man in his 30s and very much wanting to have a family with his partner but the cancer treatment he had as teenager has revealed he is not able to do so with his own sperm. Patient E and his partner considered their options thoughtfully and took some time to process this news but are now excited about the prospect of creating their family with the use of donor sperm.

  Patient D grew up in a close family.

  He reached a point in his life where after achieving so much in his life educationally and in his chosen career pathway that he felt it was unlikely that he wanted to pursue a relationship and family of his own but wanted to give the opportunity for other families to achieve the same sort of close family he’d so cherished in his childhood. Sperm donation was a way for Patient D to feel he could contribute to the values he held about family by helping others fulfil their dreams of parenthood and family.

  Patient F spent her 20s and early 30s much like many of us casually dating, experiencing some short to longer term relationships that were not quite right for a variety of reasons.

   

  Patient F had known since she turned 30 that she would like to become a mother, but she also felt it was important to not settle and she wanted to follow her values about parenting with the right person who shared these values and considered the responsibilities of parenthood.

   

  After spending the further time remaining open to finding the right partner she eventually reached a stage in her life where parenthood became a priority and she realised that not only did she not have to settle, but that she was an independent woman who had good practical and emotional support in her life to pursue parenthood as a solo mum. She connected with a groups like Solo Mums by Choice Australia and after further consideration and research decided to embark on pregnancy and parenthood using clinic recruited donor sperm.

   

  She is now parenting a happy and healthy 3yr old.
