My DH has antisperm antibodies and he was very upset when he learned that he was the cause of our IF. He knew how upset I was and that hurt him deeply and he told me that it's very hard for a man to accept that his manhood is in question.

But my DH had no problem with the IVF, because like me, he wanted kids desperately. I say, go and give it some time to ensure that the surgery worked and then revisit the subject of IVF again in about 6 months.

IF is very stressful on a marriage -- I"VE LIVED THROUGH IT and can attest to that. There's plenty of anger and fighting and such. But you can move through this difficult time as long as you work together and communicate. Good luck.

The Miracle of Life
Before you were conceived, I wanted you
Before you were born, I loved you
And before you were here an hour
I would have sacrificed everything for you
