Donor Sibling Registry

If you became a mom by using a sperm bank, this resource may be of interest to you! :)

Eight years ago, a mom and son named Wendy and Ryan Kramer began a Yahoo discussion group that focused on families that were created by the use of sperm donors. Well, now they have their own website and have matched more than 4000 kids with their half-siblings and/or biological parents.

The web site is set up like a forum of personal ads, where folks share their stories in hopes of connecting with others who used the same sperm donor. In addition to finding an extended family made up of half-siblings, this site has been instrumental in helping families gather medical information related to their children. When parents learn of the medical problems experienced by other families who used the same donor, they are able to get their children screened and treated early.

From what I have read, it also seems as if families who use the Donor Sibling Registry often make lifetime friends and bonds with others that they meet online. Many of the mothers in particular, report what a wonderful support system they have found from the group.

So, if you would like further information about this service, just visit the Kramer’s site….. DSR (Donor Sibling Registry).

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
