    Oh yay! I'm glad people are interested!! I am going to update at last once a week, hopefully more frequently once I get the hang of being a full time working Mommy. Please send me links to your blogs if you have one, I'd love to follow others!

    Hi, yes, I am one of them whose husband, who whatever reason has no sperm. We did not have the money or insurance to do any exploratory surgeries to find sperm. So we just went ahead and went with donor sperm. We are now parents of a 3 year old boy. I am now ready for baby #2. At first it is really hard, sometimes it still is. I wish I could just get pregnant just like that, but I can't change it. With time , it gets better. Let me know if anyone has any questions or concerns.

    Hi, I'm new to this blog . However so happy it exists. Dealing with male infertility and choosing to use donor sperm is challenging. I'm the mom of two beautiful boys who were conceived via donor sperm. I am now divorced. Although I know my ex loves these boys with all his heart.. It was a difficult experience for him to deal with. I believe family counseling throughout the process would have been extremely helpful. I believe our journey became more complicated as our eldest was born with a complicated congenital birth defect. We were only required to do fulfill a one session requirement by the clinic we chose. The truth is counseling and support groups would have helped to normalize some of the emotions we were both feeling.
