I got a phonecall today to say my results had come back negative and that they had NO CMV negative donors. WHAT! I was offered to take the ‘small’ risk and accept a positive donor, however the risks include miscarriage and deformity. Great. So thats a no from me. I know better than many the risks pregnancy brings, and as this is one I have a chance to avoid, I am going to.
However, now I am worried. This was supposed to be easy, go to the clinic, pick a donor, get inseminated. Boom.
But the lady on the phone told me I have to source the sperm myself. I asked if she could recommend anywhere and she did come up with three places they have used before.
So here I go with some dodgy internet shopping!
