starting a new life

if u dont mind me asking- what happened that made ur dh infertile and how did u guys handle that emotionally? Im worried about my dh's SA.

Hi

My husband infertility was cause by a gun shot accident when he was 17yrs(he's now 32).it was hard knowing that we couldn't conceive but it was even more harder on DH since he knew before we married that he wouldn't be able naturally to conceive.when we decided to use donor sperm he was actually up to it.i was really shocked that he still wanted to try,even with donor sperm.how do we handle it emotionally? everything i do in the insemination process i make him apart of.when i found out i actually had got pregnant from doing the insemination he was there at every doctors appt.since we will be rasing the child together and it will be legally his,he won't be left out of anything i do.we have had alittle counseling,but we didn't need it because we both agreed to using donor sperm.but i've always told him that no matter what we had to do to have a family it would be did.that's how much i love him and i wanted him to know that,so that's how we handle it.

Good Luck hun. I will pray for you. You guys are very strong. (I"m happy you can see pass the rain and learn to dance in it).LOL. My friend says that to me.

thanks ashmcc

we tried one cycle of artificial insemination and it had worked,but 16 days after finding out i was pregnant i had a miscarriage.it's been two months since i've had the miscarriage so me and DH will be trying again in 6 more days

Fingers crossed. I can't wait to hear the results. GOOD LUCK. Relax mommy. Baby will come.

thanks.

Good Luck and stay strong!

Thanks.i'm trying my best to strong.i'm so freakin' scared that i'm going to have a miscarriage again i can't think straight.

Try not to worry. I know its easier said than done. I had a miscarriage and ended up pregnant again and drove myself (probably my OB too) crazy worrying all the time. If you fall pregnant and need to talk email me. I'm wishing you and your dh all the best and hope that you become pregnant again soon. Hang there sweetie :)

During my first and only pregnancy I was always waiting for the day of bad news. It never came, but I was sick the whole time. At one point I thought (so did the ER doctor) that I was having a miscarriage at 12 weeks, but it turned out I had the worst UTI in history. I do remember the feeling of dread. I will say a prayer for you.

I agree Jeri. It's almost like we expect to hear bad news. I'm 16 weeks and I still worry although I have to admit I'm much more relaxed now than I was a few weeks ago. I just read your journey and hope you become pregnant soon. This is my 2nd child (on the way). Best of luck to you.

Thanks amy2 and jeri.i did my second insemination tuesday and wednesday.i've been nervous since then.it's like if i do become pregnant i will be worried the whole time that something will happen.with the first pregnancy i started spotting brown then the blood kicked in.i've been through anything like that before so the whole thing was very tramatizing.but i'm not going to give up.if this cycle don't work then i'm going to try again.

That is a great attitude! Baby Dust!!!

thanks

I'm saying a prayer you don't have any problems. Please keep us posted.

I will keep everyone posted.thanks for keeping me in your prayers.

here's the weird part about my situation: with my first pregnancy i found out i was pregnant june 9th.now i just did my second insemination september 9th which is also the date i got married on four years ago.something about the number 9 with me.

Sounds like the 9th is your lucky day :) Fingers crossed!

I've been keeping them crossed before i even started the insemination.i'm praying for a 2009 baby.

WOW Lucky # 9 !!!!! Good Luck!!!!

Well this cycle didn't work.i'm not really upset about it because i know when doing artficial insemination you have to be mentally prepared for the times it don't work.so this is my third cycle since the miscarriage and it seems to be doing pretty good.normal as usual.i will be trying again next month or november.i will keep trying until getting pregnant happens for me.thnaks ladies.

Sorry to hear this Pampered. I'll keep looking for good news from you. Glad to hear that you are sticking with it despite the setbacks. I love that, it will happen for you and DH. You want it too much to not let it. BABYDUST....loads and loads of it.

Don't give up! It will happen for you. Like RaeH I'll be looking for good news from you as well :)

thanks ladies.going throught this journey has given me much strength and i believe that made me become a stronger person.i can't give up knowing that it will possibly happen for me one.even though that didn't work i still have my hands and mind full,we just got a new puppy(a male shih tzu).he's 4 months old and is the biggest baby i have ever seen lol.but i'm going to try again in october and i've orderd my first bottle of FertileCM to help with my poor cervical mucus.i'm putting alot of effort in to TTC so i know damn well i'm not giving up lol.thanks ladies for being to comforting and warm hearted.
