Hey there, Elaine here.
Does anyone know any resources for sperm banks, or things of that nature. I've dealt with chronic depression for as long as I can remember and one of the ways I overcame it (completely without meds by the way, XD) is both my want and family obligation to carry on my family line as the only son. This side of my family is extremely conservative and I'm not sure at this point what will happen with them, and I've come to terms with that, but the drive to continue my blood is still there. Anyway, everything I can find on the subject leads me to believe sterility is one of the first things to happen after starting hrt. I'm in the process of beginning my transition; and for the first time since I came to terms with myself about my situation I am of the means to begin hrt, but I'm stuck until I figure out what to do. I'm 23, and though I know it's young, I don't want to wait much longer. It's like I can feel my dysphoria building, and it usually leads to me bolting with no plans or money, haha.
Sorry for the rant, I kinda got going there. Any ideas? I live in southern Oregon and am more than willing to travel. Driving time is my best thinking time. Thanks for the help.
I completely understand. Do what dena says as a priority. Once it's done, you can move on knowing you've saved this aspect.
You will certainly find somewhere within driving time, but if you have to fly, so what. This is vitally important to you, as it was to me.
I had a conversation with my sister where she literally asked that I put in my will that my nephew would get the lot, and of course I said yes he will, while thinking, not if I can help it.
He's actually down for a third currently, another third to my mother (or in the case of her predeceasing me divided down further to friends and their children), and another third to various charities, with the proviso that 'any child of my body or adopted by me, or should they predecease me, their heirs per stirpes' has a claim that wipes them all out to the value of 100%...
except a small ancient Egyptian statue that goes to a friend of mine in every single circumstance, and my book collection, currently nearing 2,000, which goes to the university I did my undergrad at. Not sure what they'll make of my collection of beach "bonk busters", but there's enough worthy stuff to make up for it.
