[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I don't understand where your DH is on this, would the issue be moot if IVF worked? Is he willing to try again?

I know several couples who went to Cornell inNYC as a last ditch after multiple failed attempts and were successful[/quote]

If IVF or nature worked, DH would be happy with kids. His issue is adoption or donor sperm because he has a need to have children that are biologically his. This drives me crazy. He's not even particularly handsome or tall or anything. If anything, his family is predisposed to obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer at young ages so you'd think he'd like to mix up the gene pool. His vanity and ego are telling him to reject non-bio children.[/quote]

OP, is this sperm 100% unfit for the purpose? ART do wonderful things even with slightly workable sperm, so is his juice completely fizzled out?

If so, I would honestly divorce in your shoes.  Having children is a major, major, major thing in life, and if you want them, you will forever regret not having them.  Additionally, you will develop a colossal case of bitterness and rage against your husband who denied you WHAT HE FREAKING PROMISED based on ego. You will die inside a little every time you look at a woman your age with small children thinking that it should have been you. I would get your husband's position if, say, he had a serious genetic condition that he feared passing along, but refusal to have kids based on ego would be unacceptable to me.

Plus, remember that you, a woman, have a limited window of fertility.  If your husband changes his mind twenty years from now, he CAN go and have kids with someone else. You won't be able to. If having kids is important to you, divorce.  I say this to you as someone for whom having multiple kids was important, and when my DH waffled on having a second, I told him I would divorce over that.  [/quote]
