Hi I am a 41 yr old female from PA that has done endless dating, wasted time in past relationships and here I am almost 42 and single and wanting a family. I just simply have not found the right person to start a family with...yet. I have gone to a fertility clinic in my area and have a plan set to start IUI with a donor. I just started clomid yesterday and going through the process early August. I am soooo OVERWHELMED with it all. I have come up with zero matches with my criteria which I don't feel are unrealistic, but then again just started my search tonight...I am not sure specifically what advice I am looking for but it is normal to have all emotions...guilt being one for wanting a baby with no biological father in the picture...it breaks my heart but I feel I don't have any other choice...and I know I am meant to be a mom.

    Don't feel overwhelmed. You are making a great decision to bring a baby into the world where it will be completely loved. I am 43 single (divorced) and 20 weeks pregnant through IVF. It is the best decision I ever made. I have friends that constantly argue with their partner over how to parent, one who's BF took off and abandoned them, and some that are happily married. There are no guarantees! I have also found lots of single mom by choice groups. There are tons of us out there for support. Don't worry and just enjoy the journey!

    I am 39 and also a SMBC. I haven't found the right man but I really want to be a mom. I would never have thought in a million years that I would still be single and not have at least one child. So I started the process in January and had my first IUI in May, and my second just this month. This will be my last unmedicated IUI as I will be discussing with my doctor shortly. Good Luck in your journey.
