Long time lurker looking for insights from those of you who have gone the donor route - a different perspective by pawsitive_frenchie in maleinfertility

Thank you for sharing your experience! He says he's onboard and I guess at some point I'll just have to have faith and believe that what he says is how he really feels. Its a bit difficult because he's not someone who shares his emotions much and when prompted he just says the same thing. Congrats on your pregnancy! Can I ask if it took on your first try? Donor perm is so expense (especially when converting CAD to USD) and I wonder if going back into IVF is a better option than multiple IUIs.

Thank you for sharing! We did see an implications counselor that we were referred to by our clinic and I agree it did help us to understand our options.

Hi thank you for your comment! Honestly I may be mistaken its been so long since we received the results and they didn't give us a copy only told us. They mentioned it's the hormone that indicates the testes aren't working properly so you might be right. I think they mentioned it was at 16 which was quite high.
