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.
