DH hated the idea of trying AI at home and virtually said no!
He's like 'can't we just do it the usual way?'... Er no! Maybe you should've picked someone who's body worked correctly and would be able to have sex with you regularly. At this rate we're just gonna have to face facts. I am never going to be able to give him children!
I'm not even 'old enough' to be considered for any kind of fertility treatment in my area, and then add the waiting times to when I am old enough!
I just give up.
. Just try to be aware and hope for the best. I know it's hard but remember that you've done your best and let the rest be out of your hands.

Don't give up yet. My DH had a hard time with the idea too. we are using a done because we have a male factor. He struggled through our first round of nominations, he was moody and emotional -but got through it. He wakes me everyday to make sure I take my temp about the same time, he contacts the donor and sets up donation times and days. I think men have a harder time than we do with the idea.most men also don't usually have the same desires we have for children.
Giving my husband some time to get over his low counts helped him to know I didn't think any less of him as a man. And then when we started screening for donors that looked like him, he actually became very enthusiastic. He fully supports me during each donor ejaculations

Best of luck TTC!
Hang in there. We eventually found a way after some communication problems and I think especially some strong feelings of inadequacy. Time and patience can win the day. "At home" can be better than OKDH hated the idea of trying AI at home and virtually said no!

Thank you firechild!
If we wanted to do something like that, then we'd have to do it in a simple at home way as I'm not 'old enough' to be treated by the NHS yet!
We're speaking to my doctor on Monday about it, I'm hoping that this will help solve any of his worries or thoughts about doing something like this. I asked him how much he wanted children, and he said 'very much'... but I just think that it can't be that much if you're not willing to try every option we have.
I'm glad that eventually your DH became receptive to the idea
