Coping with Male Infertility
Men struggling with infertility, in general, have fewer resources than women, feel socially isolated and are often forced to cope with infertility on their own. Many of these men may feel uncomfortable seeking outside support, especially from those they know.
As a result, they may keep their emotions bottled up inside. Using a sperm donor often can seem more difficult for the men that for the woman, for obvious, and understandable reasons. After the initial consultation and conversation of using a sperm donor, there will be a time period that you will need to take time for the two of you to let this soak in, work together, and make the decision mutually that using a donor is something you both want, and can live with.
When you start to think about using a sperm donor you could well be hit with a minefield of options. Be sure to consider what the most suitable option is for you and perhaps your family. There are many considerations you have to think about from the future psychological effects on the child to the involvement of the sperm donor.
