same sex couple struggling with donors and clinics

   Hi there everyone – I’m thinking this is the right place to start this type of thread.  We are trying to conceive (just not traditionally) :) I've really enjoyed reading back through all the supportive posts on a same sex mummy to be forum.  My friend who is a midwife sent me the link to this, however it looks like I may have missed the boat with the same sex mummy to be forums not so active anymore

I really need an outlet at the moment, so I’ll just write this and put myself and our story out there anyway.  My partner and I of six years have been planning a family for the last year now.  We’re getting there – we know all good things come, but at 32 (and in the ‘orange zone’ according to my AMH test) and my partner just turning 30 and wanting to have a baby down the track too, we are getting a little edgy not having found a donor dad yet. 
I guess we were never really quite prepared for how difficult it would be.  I remember the offers and promises from our male friends and acquaintances (admittedly after they had possibly had a wine or two ) thinking it was all good and funny to imagine at the time.  At the back of our minds we thought that when the time came we would not be short on more serious offers, given our fairly wide circles.  That was until the time did come!  We carefully thought about and asked in total four of our male friends to be donors.  One after the other after they all initially said ‘yes’ one of which even got to the clinic before they decided it was too hard/freaked out.  Too many hang ups essentially.
Not wanting to make awkward or jeopardise any more r’ships wih guys we already know, we’ve gone online now on sites like NZ free sperm donation (which is free but not well regulated) and also an Aussie based site called worldwide sperm donations which has a monthly subscription fee of $35 but is worth it because of the large numbers of NZ profiles and is regulated in terms of the moderator deleting profiles that aren’t active and policing weirdos.  We’ve had a bit of interest from some men but finding a guy in Auckland who is willing to go via our clinic, (Fertility Plus), and do the mandatory counselling session and the 4-5 donating sessions there has been hard.  Even when we offer to pay all expenses!
We’re on the waitlist at the clinic but would preferably like to meet our donor dad face to face and for them to be willing to be known as donor dad to our bubbas as they grow.  So we search on.. hoping to meet a kind and willing man who can take the time to do this for us.  Its really encouraging to see so many of you on this forum have done this!
Our fertility councellor suggested advertising for a donor through a gay magazine that she had heard about (she’s not particularly knowledgeable about gay issues/things in Auckland – which is a slight problem in itself)..  I have no idea what magazine she thinks she knows about.   I’ve only seen those dodgey street mags you pick up from family bar with all the pics of gay boys getting trashed and advertisements for sex toys throughout.  Haha!  Would be awesome if any of you guys knew.
Anyways thanks for reading!  Hope to hear from someone (if anyone’s out there )
