donor sperm?
My DH brought up donor sperm the other day. Until he mentioned it, I hadn't even considered the possibility. Mostly, I assumed he wouldn't want anything to do with it, but his reasoning was that if we adopt, the child wouldn't have either of our genetic traits -- with donor sperm, the child would at least have mine. Plus, I'd be able to experience pregnancy and childbirth. I still don't know if I'm comfortable with the idea. Our infertility isn't completely due to his low sperm count/motility, but it's certainly one of the contributing factors. Donor sperm would help tremendously. Is donor sperm a consideration for anyone else? What are you reservations, if any?
