Helen_1992

I wasn't conceived through IVF. The donor donated to the Jessop in 1991 and the sample was transferred to Liverpool Royal hospital. I imagine it's probably a more raw subject for me seeing as I am donor conceived and will probably never be able to find out where 50% of my DNA comes from. The reason I am posting this is not only to find out more info about my donor (I'm not saying I want a long lasting fatherly relationship with him, I have a dad who has brought me up) but also to find other donor concieved half siblings that may read this post. But anyway, I don't think you can speak for all men that have donated sperm at the Jessop and say that they categorically want nothing to do with their offspring, some won't, some Will, Did your husband donate in 1991? I would also just want to add that being donor conceived has really impacted on my life and I found your message insensitive. ---------- Post added 28-07-2017 at 13:28 ---------- Your talking about Jessop fertility clinic aren't you, set up in 2010??? I'm talking about Jessop Hospital 25 years ago.

V.i..................

Hello, I'm Helen and I'm donor conceived. I was conceived using a donor who donated at the Jessop Hospital in February 1991, he had dark brown hair, blue eyes, blood type A positive and CMV positive. I was conceived in June 1991 and born in Liverpool on March 9th 1992. The reason I am positing here is because I have seen a few threads discussing sperm donation and mention of the Jessop. I am unable to gain any more info on the donor as the Hfea was only set up 2 months after I was conceived. In desperate to know more about my donor and any potential half siblings I may have. If anyone knows anybody that donated in 1991 to the Jessop please can they get in touch. ---------- Post added 26-07-2017 at 11:40 ---------- Additional info - I am not looking for any financial gains from finding my donor I thought I would mention that as I know some donors are worried about this. I am 25 and in full time employment with a young family, I just want to know more about my roots. Thanks
