Hi All,
I am very new to thebump- hello
I have searched the forums for women who have conceived through sperm donation, but I haven't been successful, so maybe someone will respond to this.
My husband is 27 years old (as am I). When he was 14 he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease Lymphoma. He went though chemo and radiation and went into remission for a year. When he was 15, it came back. The second time they were more aggressive with chemo, radiation, and this time, he had a stem cell transplant. Needless to say, he does not produce sperm (even this many years later). When he was first diagnosed, the doctors did not suggest to his parents that he get his sperm frozen for later on in life. So, here we are.
We have talked extensively about sperm donation and he is 100% on board. However, I still want to talk to someone who has gone through the experience before we move forward.
Thank you!
Re: Sperm Donation?
I was going to suggest this too and also maybe the success after IF or Pregnant after IF board, since they have actually had success. GL and Welcome!
