Well this is my first post. My wife confided in me that she has had a blog up and running for about 7 months and that she was scared to tell me that she had one. She told me the reason she was scared was because I got upset when she told her co workers about my lack of sperm.
In reality, I really didn't care that she was talking to her to complete strangers on the Internet . I knew that she needed support and an outlet. Telling her co workers did upset me at first, because these are people I would have to face and because when I found out about it what was going on I was in no shape to be a support for her. I realized that right off that bat in Nov. 2009 when we found out. I contacted a the local “Resolve” group and hooked her up with them. I know they have been a real big help for her.
When I found out about having Azoospermia, AZFC chromosomal abnormality, I had the normal reaction: WTF IS THAT? It basically means that I am lacking some genes that control the production of sperm. If they were to go into my testicles there is a 30% chance that they could find some sperm. The downside to this is that any male children would inherit the same genetic abnormality. Julie and I both agreed that we could do that to a child so we have opted for IUI with donor sperm..and they would have to drill into my testicles. I was not thrilled about turning my testicles over to a Cuisinart.
This is where we are at now. This is also where I think I will stop writing for tonight. Be sure to check out Julies blog as well. Tell her hi.
