Look out for our next episode in two weeks on coping with grief, nosy relatives over the holidays!
A mamma-to-be may use a sperm bank for many reasons:
-She's a single lady
-Her partner has azoospermia (near to no detectable sperm)
-Her partner has compromised semen quality
-Her partner is unable to donate sperm due to a history of physical injury or cancer treatment
If you are considering using a sperm donor, you need to understand it from all angles.
Using a credible sperm bank has many legal and medical advantages. It can also really increase your odds of pregnancy success and having a healthy baby.
Using a sperm bank probably was never in your childhood vision of how you'd make a family, but learning more about it may allay many fears and misconceptions.
Tune in as I interview Eric Kendall of the Seattle based European Sperm Bank.
In working with many smart, wonderful women over the years, I've also seen where these lovely ladies "hide out."
When we are trying to do something as meaningful as making a baby, fears come up. Avoidance comes up. Jealousy can even rampage through our being.
I started to notice certain patterns, and I called them the five fertility archetypes.
These five types dovetail nicely with the five elements of Chinese Medicine.
Each of us has our patterns, and we each have elegant solutions to these patterns. Join me on a soul-searching call to explore your patterns and move into practical solutions to help you acheive pregnancy.
