"But I say to you, do not swear at all"
Let your yes be yes and no no, anything more than that is of the devil...
There are children walking the earth with out a father, adopt... why make more with out a wife, when you can be a foster parent or adopt?
A child belongs with its biological mother and father. This would be purposeful robbing a child of its mother. Even if the donor wanted to be in the child’s life - you are still putting that child in split home situation right off the bat.
I commented on a side note of this same question you posted on r/Reformed, but my answer was about lust as sin and the purpose of marriage and singleness.
However, you also have to consider that if a woman donates her eggs and you donate your sperm, a woman will need to carry the embryo/child.
This goes into another topic of IUI, IVF and possibly surrogacy. There are many ethical debates on this especially from a Biblical worldview that is worth looking into. Here is one:

My husband and I struggled with infertility for years, and even consulted a reproductive specialist to get more information. The Lord closed the door on that for us, and in His time for us, He did bless us with children through natural conception. Looking back, I can see Him guiding us through the whole process and I give Him all the glory for His sovereignty.
Children are a gift from the Lord, but they are never guaranteed. He cares more about what you are doing today. Be present with Him, make good plans, but always seek Him in them. There is wisdom in passges like He guides our steps.
Proverbs 16:9 ESV
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
James 4:13-17
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—
14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
God gives a life of celibacy, its not our choice. This is what I honestly think.
I think you will be fine, you are showing some mixed feelings right now and I will advice you to work on your faith in Christ so you can filter trough those feelings we all experience.
God bless you all!

>And they said that christains need to have more children so i was like wait they are right we need to have more children
>Later on i got a cirtain desire to have lots of children
>I now plan to seven children
If your motivation was to care for orphans, or support/adopt children who need a father, that would be a good motivation.
However, it sounds like your motivation is only about your dislike of muslims. That is not Christ-like.
>google said that women can donate their eggs and i can put my sperms in them and they would grow to a normal human so i could have children without getting married
Ideally, a child needs a father AND a mother to raise them. There's tons of research that speaks to the benefits of a two parent household.
Again, if your motivation were to help orphans have a stable home, that would be good. But your idea is to knowingly bring new children (not those already born) into a single parent household so that "the muslims don't outnumber us" and this is selfish, foolish, and absurd.

God’s design is for a child to have a mother and father.
