PGirl - Just wanted to jump in and tell you how sorry I am you are going through this. We are in a similar "no sperm" situation and after much soul-searching decided to do donor insemination after discovering through a testicular biopsy that my husband indeed had no way of producing sperm. At first we both hated the idea of using a donor, but my husband has come around to realize that this is the best option for us and that he will be no less of a father because of this. We both wanted to experience having a pregnancy together and now we are in the two-week wait of our 5th IUI w/ donor sperm. At this point, we both so badly want me to get pregnant, we actually kind of forget that we used a donor. Not that it will ever be far from our minds, but we have come to accept that this is the only way to have a child that is genetically connected to at least me. It's not the right choice for everyone and right now you are still dealing with the sting of the diagnosis. It's a hard one to take and you just have to be there for each other right now. Sending you hugs. As Amy said, there are a lot of us over in the Azoospermia thread (under Causes of Infertility/Male Factor Infertility). Hanging out there is a great place for support and it helps not to feel so alone. Take care
