Odd question. But have any other women had the thought of being with another man just to get her pregnant because she thinks it's her husband's problem? Or is it just me...I love him so much but I am getting so frustrated

They can do tests to determine if it’s a male infertility issue. And ICSI when freezing embryos if there are questions about sperm health. And donor sperm is a possibility. Do you feel comfortable talking to your husband about this? Or asking the doctor?

There is no his or hers problem, if youre trying to have a child together its an our problem

Because she seems to be blaming him for the fertility issue being his (sounding like they already got tested). Im not sure why we're arguing, but it's possible we have different interpretations and *gasp* opinions on the OPs situation

he tested and unfortunately it was determined that he won't be able to have kids... This has been going on for years now and we have done many tests already .. :(

This is devastating news for both of you. I can’t imagine how frustrating it has been. That being said, I would be even more devastated if my spouse turned on me because of that diagnosis. If we were in the same position, I would talk about sperm donors, not trading out my husband. I would also consider therapy to help process all of the feelings you both are having because of the diagnosis.

No! You can get a sperm donor

Finally had a breakdown over infertility this AM and trying to pull myself together for Zoom. My tests are fine, but husband can’t deliver during my fertile window. I feel so hopeless with every month that goes by, and he doesn’t have any sense of urgency when HE is the one who wants kids more than I do. Just needed to vent.

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval? I’m still on birth control but my doc said after egg retrieval (assuming we get a strong embryo), I’d get off of birth control and on lupron for two months before transfer.
