How to Conceive Using a Sperm Donor
Decades ago, the use of sperm donors was considered taboo in America. Many people had problems with the idea of a woman accepting sperm from a man she was not married to in an effort to conceive a baby. However, these days, it is less of a taboo. Sperm donation is seen as an option for couples struggling to have a child together or a single woman who wants to be a mother. The biggest issue today is what method they use in order to achieve their goal of being a parent.

Find a male willing to have sex with you until you conceive a baby. Does it work? It can be effective if the woman has sex with the sperm donor on a regular basis and there are no fertility issues with either partner. Statistically, it takes about one year of regular sex for a woman to conceive a baby. So the person you choose should be a man you don't mind sharing this kind of intimacy with over a long period of time.

Allow your eggs to be planted into another woman and fertilized by your mate. This method of conception is an appropriate one for women who can't carry a baby to full term. Usually, they ask a female relative with a stable uterus to carry the baby for them. Then, the husband or partner donates his sperm and it is is artificially inseminated into the egg. After the birthing, the couple who donated the egg and sperm take their new baby home.

Tips & Warnings
Before you use a sperm donor, consider all of the ramifications. Adoption and mentoring are still options for childless couples and women who want parent-like relationships with children.
Don't use a sperm donor without getting legal paperwork in order. Some men come back years later and want parental rights over the baby they helped father.
