Hi all, have just popped in quickly and scanning trough the threads just wanted to say to BecD that so far the eye colour/ hair colour thing has made no difference to us thus far, as my fertility specialist put it to us "people look for similarities not differences" it has proven to be the case here many people comment on how much out 2 look like DH (he has a quiet chuckle to himself) so either people are not putting two and two together or are being polite either way we know the time will come as DD is now talking about her "gold hair and blue eyes" and mummy and daddy have brown eyes and brown hair, but we have always planned for this to be the case and are preparing ourselves to have gentle discussions as opportunity presents it's self so that it is a knowledge that our children grow up with, and will hopefully take away any power other people may have to hurt them how ever unintentional, hope this helps xxxx good luck with your decision
thanks for that blizz, always good to hear. We have decided to go ahead with that donor, and if it works we will deal with it as it comes.

jaggles - no experience with diy so sorry cant help. All I will say is make sure you protect yourself legally. I briefly considered diy but was scared off by all the complications that can arise.
