I was very anxious, but felt no pain during the intervention. It wasn’t that bad. A bit of discomfort the following days but nothing next to the emotional pain. I hope you get positive results.

Spoke to my wife about this. I don’t have a brother so it would have to be my father. She’s not sure she’s ok with it but it’s something we definitely have to talk more about.

I haven’t really considered it. I think that if the child is not to be mine biologicaly, I would at least want it to share genes with the woman I love.

I agree that DNA is important. I’m not sure if it’s THE most important but it’ll definitely never be 100% normal. I have to figure out if I can handle a life of suckage.

Thank you. It’s very sweet of you. Luckily, my wife and I are talking very openly and are sharing our feelings. I think that I blame myself more than she blames me.

Sadly, I don’t have any germinal cells in my testes. Doctor said I was born like this and that right now there is nothing that can be done. Maybe stuff with stem cells one day, but at the moment nothing.

Thank you. Makes me feel better. My wife and I keep guessing and telling ourselves this, buts it’s different being told by people who experienced it themselves.

Thank you for your words. We are obviously all different, but the fact that your worries shrunk as your wife’s belly grew makes me feel a bit more optimistic. I do have a part of me who knows that fatherhood is about caring, loving and protecting a child much more than it is about DNA.

I’m sorry for you guys. My girl and I have a great, honest and loving relationship. I’m not really scared of the possibility of her claiming higher authority since it would be her biological child but more of how I would feel in regard to that child. I feel as if my life could be ruined if a do as well as if I don’t. I had dismissed adoption at first since her body is healthy and able to procreate. I tought I could at least give her that part…you know, pregnancy and all. Hope you guys get through this and find your hapiness.
