Hi Sheena,

Thanks for the hugs, I needed that.

Hopefully the clinic will call back today- I was thinking about it, do you not think they'd do some kind of biopsy to confirm there are no sperm present?

I think DH feels ok using donor sperm. He wants nothing more than to give me anything I ask for and to make me happy. He's a very very wonderful man. It really saddens me that we might not have a child that is biologically his (I know you feel the same way about your situation) but I also know he would prefer to use a donor than to adopt. He's said him self that at least biologically it's "half us". Which was sad but kind at the same time.

At first he wanted to use his brothers sperm but my family doctor explained that due to legalities 'arranged donors' are not done in Alberta. That if we wanted my BIL to be the father we better get a small turkey baster. haha.

How does your DH feel about it? I remember months ago you told me he was having a few reservations. I think I could be bias (obviously) but going to all the doctors appointments and having the baby and basically the whole experience would make DH feel more like the father, who cares where the sperm came from that adopting a child. Not that I'm against adoption at all, but donor would be our first choice. I really want to experience pregnancy.
