IVF after Vasectomy
My Fiancé and I want to start a family. This is his 2nd marriage and my 1st. He had a vasectomy 10 years ago. Is it possible to somehow "harvest" sperm from him in order to do IVF. I want his baby, no one elses, so sperm donation is not an option neither is adoption. Is there hope for us to make this possible and what will the cost implications be?
