Title: sperm bank
Post by: asiangurliee on May 17, 2007, 11:15:35 PM
How many of you ladies have actually used the sperm bank? I read somewhere that almost half of the transsexual women have done it but i don't know any transsexuals who have.

Did you start hormones already? i started it and it's hard for me to stop.

It costs about 550 CAD, including the initial application fees but that is only one sample of sperm and the stroage is only for one year. If you want to continue keep the frozen sperm sample, you have to pay 200 dollar every year.

I was advised to do it before I went on mones but I did not like the Idea of " Fathering a Child"

I don't like the "father" thing either,but its the only way to have my own childeren.But are kids will have two moms not the norm dad & mom thing,so it doesn't bother me any.
