anyone else using a donor? the TTC Journey is different
Hi ladies. my DH had a vasectomy decades ago and when we were talking marriage having kids was my must. Really want to be a mom. DH was all about having another child. we started researching how premarriage and tackled getting pregnant shortly after getting married. we found a reversal was not a valid option. DH had no issues using a donor. so of course this meant ferility treatments. I had all the testing known to man and continue to on a 6-8 month basis. All comes back amazing for me. Dr's are dumbfounded that I have conceived yet. We have tracked cycles, done <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>'d with dr's and at home. nothing. so about a year ago we decided maybe instead of an unknown donor (comes in frozen vials and is very costly) we would approach one our our male friends that has similar physical characteristics to DH. we were thrilled when he agreed and drew up the legal documents. all signed and filed we started trying. The hiccup is depending on our KD to provide during my fertile time. over the last year it's been maybe 3 times. this cycle he stood me up despite promising because I was for the first time using Femara. my DH is very supportive but like me very frustrated. I am 36 turning 37 this fall. my DH is 24 yrs my elder. so time is not our friend. I am so upset at our KD and seem like I am at a crossroads of what to do. Anyone else out there struggling with TTC journey because of having to use a donor either through a bank or known? would love insight, feedback, etc cause right now I have no idea what to do. giving up is not an option
