Hello,

My husband has a gene problem his 5th and 20th gene has swapped causing a genetic condition and this would be passed on to our children. This gene swap has also caused his infertility.

We had no choice but to go for a sperm donor. At my age 35 I have been told Im too old to adopt! Silly silly.

We are on the waiting list with our IVF clinic. But have found an angel through a private website willing to be our donor. We are first going to try home insemination and if that doesn't work then move on to true IVF.

So as you can see it wasnt a decision we agonised over it was THE ONLY thing to do.

We have had many tears, and breakdowns over the past 6 months. My husband looks at people who have kids who look very very similar to their parents. He laments that he won't ever have mini him. I try to comfort him and sometimes it works and sometimes not.

I get a bit angry sometimes I found myself a great bloke but he can't father a child naturallly. But then I remind myself its hard on him too.

Its a rollercoaster ride thats for sure.

I hope this it what you want.

Sincerely
Redlady
