[quote=Anonymous][quote]Oh, and the way a sperm sample is obtained is quite simple: the couple has sex while using a certain kind of condom, which is perforated. That way, the act is still "open to life," because pregnancy is still possible, but a sample may be obtained for study. So no porn or masturbation is required.[/quote]
That is really interesting. It strikes me that that should be an option that is more widely available with secular doctors. Not necessarily being porn and masturbation are bad, but because it just provides another way to do things that could be far more comfortable for the couple.

OP, I just wonder if your husband might feel angry with the reminder (by going to the clinic) that for whatever reason, you're not able to conceive naturally. The rest of the time, he's probably able to push it to the back of his mind, but when he has to make an appointment to provide a sample, there's no ignoring it. I think that we tend not to think about how all these procedures affect the men in our lives: part of that is because as women, we often have the harder job in terms of invasive tests etc; and men are generally not as upfront with their feelings as women are, and feel they have to remain stoic.

Maybe if you're able to open up a conversation with your husband at a less stressful time he might feel willing to talk a little bit about this. I think you both really have to be on the same page before pursuing IVF.[/quote]
