An IVF cycle costs 16k where I'm at. The doctor says that my husbands low sperm count won't affect whether IVF works or not. But still, there are no guarantees. I'm scared to death of paying that much money and being too poor to do another cycle.
On the other hand, we could try a few rounds of IUI with a donor. No guarantees, but even if we do 3 rounds, we'd only be shelling out around 6k. I'm totally fine with this idea, my husband isn't so sure.
Is it stupid to even be considering this? How does a husband come to terms with the fact that he won't be biologically linked to his child?
