Hi girls! Boy, lots of familiar names on this board! Guess I'll have to do some reading and posting over here!
For anyone I *dont* know... DH and I have been actively TTC for 2.5 years, 'passively' for 8 (talking, discussing, making plans, meeting with dr.'s, etc). Long, long journey.
Very long story short, his VR was unsuccessful despite a terrific prognosis. ZERO sperm at the 1 year mark, and again at the 2 year mark. We did IVF with ICSI last year, that failed due to poor sperm quality (it was aspirated). We decided after much discussion to try IUI with donor sperm. It was a very hard choice, but I just wasn't willing to accept being childless when there were other reasonable options still open to us. DH has two kids from his first marriage, so he would have been fine with stopping TTC.
Cheers!
