And the fear hits...

Has anyone else had fear set in? I received a letter from my fertility clinic this week saying that my vial of semen has arrived at their facility. Although I've put much thought into my decision to try having a baby on my own, the reality of me "using" a stranger's sperm has hit me. It all of a sudden feels scary. Maybe in part because my guy friend (who has had a vasectomy, supports my decision, and I love dearly) is not the person participating in this emotional, life changing, heart felt event in my life. I know this is the route I need to take, if I want to realize my dream of having a baby. I'm still following through with my plans, but now that the time is near, I have unexpected emotions coming into play. I've also been reading up a little on religious views on this topic. I don't agree with a lot of what I've read, but am also wondering how Christianity plays into this process.
Any thoughts?

I can understand where you're coming from, this is a very unnatural process. At least that is what a friend of mine that went through IUI and IVF with her husband and I (single) think. I can't say that I was scared, at least not overly so when the RE office called to let me know that biodad arrived safely
I think as long as you're sure that this is the journey you want to take, that fear should turn into more excitement. I would say that if it doesn't, maybe it's something that you need to think about more, or research or prepare for?
Just my two cents, hope it helps.
