Hi, I am new to this site, just signed up today. I am 28 and my husband and I have wanted a baby since we first got together almost 9 years ago. We found out in June of 2009 that he does not produce any sperm. We have gone through the whole grieving process, experienced a brief seperation in our marriage, discussed our options, and decided on sperm donation...with NO idea where to start.
At one time, we were both on insurance through my job, but I no longer work for that company. (During that time, he had 2 or 3 semen analysis done and I underwent an ovulation test, which came back poitive
). The job I have now provides insurance for me after a "new hire probationary period," which will be over soon. I am so clueless as to what I should do first, especially if there is anything I should be doing before my insurance kicks in, such as taking care of my pre-natal body, charting my cycle, looking for a doctor, etc. I'm not even sure what my insurance will cover, nor do I understand many of the terms associated with fertility and trying to conceive.
Has anyone else done a home insemination with donor sperm and had succes? Money is a real object for us and I think this would be our least expensive option. However, I understand that the success rate is lower, and I don't know if I can mentally and emotionally handle the disappointment. I think I just really need someone to tell me what to do!
P.S. I would appreciate if any abbreviations are explained: ttc=trying to conceive
THANK YOU
