Donor
Did I ever think that I would be 41 and back on the TTC ride? Nope never.
Here I am.
Things are very different this time, husband had a vasectomy 7 years ago, we had it reversed in late March this year. It’s failed, no sperm have returned, more than likely scarred over. That’s been a hard one to process, sperm are an important factor.
Before we even looked at surgery, I found a group on Facebook about sperm donation. Turns out it’s a big thing. We did our first cycle in June with donor sperm, unsuccessful this cycle, awaiting to start the next.
If this is sounding exciting, I don’t mean it to be. I was a nervous wreck. We opted to go NI – which means sex for better odds. To me, it just sounds odd. The whole thing. We have two donors, for better odds. Seeing that it is a numbers game after all.
That’s why I have come back here, my friends have no idea, to be honest they haven’t been overly supportive with the whole “We want another baby” thing. Think I just needed a place that I can come to and let out what is swimming in my mind.
I don’t expect any comments, but for some reason if anyone is reading this, please no hate. My heart and head are fragile already.
No hate at all, but rather curiosity. What makes you want to start over with another kid at 41? Not that it’s unheard of; just that it’s certainly more challenging after age 40. Usual this is also the age where people start wanting to travel and such.
