His Sperm.. What Would You Do? *Repost*

Devon • She loved three things - a good joke, a glass of wine, & a handsome man.
Okay SO - 
Hubby has had his sperm at a bank since he was sick and treatment was going to make him sterile. We've decided to start planning on how we are going to TTC (Yay!). 
We have the option of either going about 9 hours out of town to get all the fertility procedures done, OR we can have the sperm sent down here. 
I'm very nervous about getting them sent down here because if ANYTHING were to happen in that process and it was lost or destroyed.. well, that's literally our future. I would heartbroken. 
I understand that we will have to be at the fertility clinic quite a bit; however, and 9 hours is a long drive! 
I just wanted to get a few opinions on what you ladies would do in this situation. Feel free to share any advise as well! 
Thanks in advance!!
