I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but my DH ended up not freezing a sample last time we were at the RE's. He wasn't feeling well, so I didn't push it. Well guess what? Tomorrow is take 2! We are going in tomorrow afternoon for my DH to leave a sample to freeze, then meet with the lab director to go over all we need to know about freezing and using frozen sperm. With 12 weeks inching closer I am getting more and more nervous about him stopping the hcg. Even though I am pg now, just knowing that he will be pretty much sterile again is really hard to accept. Maybe because it was so unexpected the first time? I don't know...either way its not a good feeling.
We also found out that it is $640 to freeze the first sample and that covers the costs of storage for a year, but it is another $240 each time he goes in to process and freeze that sample. So the costs of this is potentially around 1300-1400 dollars if we want to freeze 3-4 samples. And this is all just as a safety net. We may not even USE it. Its just hard to swallow right now, especially since we have already spent thousands and thousands to have this baby! But we are doing it anyways,the piece of mind is worth every penny. I have already mentioned to my DH that I may, and I mean MAY want to have another one (meaning baby) after this one. Its just nice to know we have the option if we so desire, since we just cant have sex like normal people.
Man they are so lucky....I still cant imagine actually just having SEX with my husband and getting pregnant. It is so foreign to us IF'ers. Sex to have a baby?? Only in my dreams.

It's funny how it seems unreal to just have sex with the hubby and get pg. I think this is a great step you two are taking. Who knows what'll happen down the road. You may want 2 more! At least you can rest assured that all the money you put into getting his numbers good will be utilized.
