Just wondering if any of your partners took longer to get on board with using DE? I read somewhere that husbands often take longer to get on board than the wives do. My DH is generally supportive of this path and he's been willing to explore it and go through various tests. He feels comfortable with the donor we've identified as a good match, but he's hesitant to sign the paperwork to proceed. He said he doesn't feel 100% about using DE and doubts he ever will. I can understand how he feels given that this certainly wasn't the route we expected we would take, but I think a lot of couples probably feel the same way when they "arrive" at this path after long IF journeys. His main concern is the responsibillity of having to tell our DE child about his/her conception and the possible ways that the child might respond to this news. We have a child from our OE IVF, so we would tell both of them the same story about their IVF conception, but would differentiate the source of the "seed" in age-appropriate ways. This is the aspect that concerns him the most- the responsibility of telling and how the child might felt. I keep reassuring him that our love for the child would prevail, we can handle this, and this won't seem like such a big deal five years from now.
Anyone have an experiences to share about getting their partner on board?
