Donor Sperm

[Rd12]

After 4 years of waiting lists, things going wrong and great expense we are left with the option of donor sperm or giving up. I am finding this hard to come to terms with or get my head around. But also I am so tired of all the stress, dissapointments, upset and arguments it has all caused. I know many know the feeling but everything gets put on hold and so many times i've thought "it won't be long now".

I suppose I am interested in any similar situations and good or bad outcomes. Even with donor sperm there are no guarantees. We have no children between us and I am nearly 40.

Hello OP, it's a hard situation and a difficult decision to make. I find myself feeling low, guilty, stressed and dissapointed quite often too, but I'm trying infertility/IVF and relaxation/acceptance guided meditations to try and control those feelings.

With donor sperm there are no guarantees but there is a good chance! Especially if you find a good clinic, a trusted specialist, that will help you decide and get matched with the appropriate donor.

Wishing you luck on whatever you decide!
