I want to have a baby?

Question

I am twenty four years old, my husband is twenty. We've been married for about two years now, and I've know since I met him that due to an injury when he was nine, he's sterile. We'd like to have a child at some point but are unsure of what to do. We've contacted places about in-vitro and the payment of that is just to much. One place wanted close to $50,000 just harvest the eggs. Does anyone know of places you can go to be inpregnated. That sounds like such an odd thing to say. We're fairly desperate though. We've considered adoption, but because of our age, despite our income and stability, we've been denied twice. I say we have an income, meaning we keep our heads above water, but not enough to spend thousands of dollars on something I already own.

Does anyone also know if there is a way to collect sperm without the man "domating it". I'm not sure the extent of my husband inability to have children (he's never told me and i've never asked) but I was just wondering, is there a way to surgically get his sperm so a child would be both his and mine, biologically I mean.

THANK YOU

Answer 1

have you actually talked to your doctor not just a sperm clinic.  a regular dr visit might be good, they could give good advice on what is possible or what the options are. when i was pregnant at my ob/gyn clinic they had some guy there who dealth w/ that stuff. i'm sure you'll find an answer

Answer 2

I was watching a TV show last week in which a couple were wanting to have a biological child but the man was found to have no sperm count. They had some cutting edge procedure where the doctor took tiny slices of the mans t******e and the embryologist managed to find a couple of immature sperm cells in there and they were able to harvest them and create embryos from them. I think it would be VERY expensive though, and maybe picking a sperm donor who looks similar to your husband might be a way to go, though I completely understand why you want your husbands sperm.
