Thanks for your comments, everyone. Hearing others' opinion about donor sperm is helpful to me. Like many of you, none of my friends are faced with infertility so I really only have you guys to bounce ideas off of.
Creole, my husband mentioned asking his brother to donate. It feels awfully personal to me (his brother's sperm in me ... a little awkward, you know?), but I like the idea of my DH's genetic traits. Can I ask why you specifically prefer it to be your DH's relative and would you be uncomfortable at all?
Barb, why did you choose a stranger? And you're right, it's nobody's business. Confide in who you want to, but no one has the right to know.
Thanks again for everyone's comments.
