The Seed Man

So I went to watch my new fave movie- The Switch today.  It was as great as I had hoped it would be.  I have to admit I was anxious to take my hubs to see this one to get his reaction to the whole sperm donor subject.


Over the years, the hubs and I have had very candid convos about this subject as for us, getting pregnant will take some planning as we have had issues in the past.  We have made some changes in our lives over the past few years in hopes of working toward visiting the fertility doc soon to help to make our dream come true of having our own little one wandering the earth with us someday. 

While watching this movie I couldn't help BUT think of my own "situation" and the whole baby thing.  Let's face it.  I will be 35 next month and I am NOT getting any younger.  Ugh.  I have put the baby thing off for way too many years, though now I finally feel as if I am "ready" to give all I have to a tiny little mini me (or him).


Here is where it gets tricky for me.  IF this visit that we plan on taking to the miracle baby making doc does not work, this leaves me in a dilemma.  I am PRO obtaining "seed" from another man if needed (if the vasectomy reversal does not work).  The hubs- not so much.  He is not keen on the idea at all of me accepting "seed" from another man, especially a few of the willing seed men that I have already lined up.

"Seed Man"

I am a planner.  This means I like to PLAN things.  So, in my little bird brain my plan works like this:  we get the vasectomy reversal done, if it does not work, we immediately move to plan "b".  Plan "b" would be to try the operation again.  Then if plan "b" doesn't work we move right along to plan "c".  Plan "c" is where it gets potentially complicated for the hubs.  Plan "c" involves one of my dearest guy friends stepping up to provide me with what I need- seed!  Helloooo, it is not like I am doing this the old fashion fun way here, I am talking about doing this the correct medical way (just like in this movie).  It is not like I am going to go have a hot night out with the man with the intent to get knocked up.


Sooo... after the movie my hubs says "see that is why I don't want us to KNOW the donor".  Oh damn it, my bubble just burst.  I just don't see WHY I need to go get some anonymous guys sperm to create a baby.  Why not take some from a source that I already know very well and love (not the way I love my hubs)?  I really do feel that the baby would still be OUR baby even though the sperm came from elsewhere.


Hmmm... so much to think about.  Good thing I have 3 seed men already lined up and waiting just in case I make that middle of the night call.  Hahahaha.


No really, I do have my 3 seed men lined up.  And yes, I do now see how this could get complicated, especially when the donor is someone from my past. 


More to think about. 


On another note- the movie was awesome and I loved loved loved every minute of it. :)
