Young, New and Excited

I heard a quote from someone that also used a sperm donor, "if you're already considering, you're already there"

I find it weird to be searching about this and at the same time it seems like a reality that I might just fall into. My friends and family think it is odd. But ultimately it is something I want to do for myself. I have always felt a need to; partially still considering embryo donation.

I am new on here and I am fairly young, 24 years old to be exact. I am fertile and have had prior pregnancies. Due to my graduate program as of this moment, I will not be going further, but once I graduate I plan on using a sperm donor. I believe that we live in a world where almost anything is possible. So why not take advantage of it! I am not waiting for a man, especially the type I want and need. He will come when he comes.

I am so excited for this to be reality by the time I am around 28. I do have questions.

Have y'all found a partner ever since becoming pregnant and having the baby?
How do they feel? Do they accept the baby as theirs? Did they adopt the baby?
Does the baby look like you? Do you compare and contrast traits and characteristics that came from you vs. donor?
I estimated the cost for iVF and other costs is about 1k which is not to bad?
