Hi to anyone reading this. I recently decided to start a blog about my experiences learning to cope with my husband's infertility and all the positive outcomes that have come from choosing to start our family using a sperm donor. I thought there might be women on here who would appreciate reading about my experience. There isn't much too it yet, but I'll hopefully be working on it a good deal really soon.

    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.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I went through a lot of things you mentioned myself, sometimes having almost the same thoughts. You captured it all beautifully and you are such a great writer. I really appreciate you starting this blog. Congrats on your little bundle of joy- he is probably already 3 years old. Let us know how you have been if it's ok with you of course.
    My husband and I just recently decided to go the donor route and reading your blog helped a lot. Best wishes to you and your family.
