Setting the stage

We decided to try to have a baby over a year ago. I knew I wasn't getting any younger and with my biggest fear looming over my head, we decided that at age 28 we would try to have a baby. So after some decision making, we asked a friend of ours to be a donor and he readily agreed. We tried with him about 4x's but... no baby! When we would go to visit donor #1, we would stay at my friend Erica's house. Her mother once suggested to Danielle that we ask her 21 year old son. God, talk about robbing the cradle. We blew it off but on our last visit to donor #1, we lightly talked about it. The following month (or so), he agreed. He was great, he would agree to fly out to us if we needed him to and once I flew to Florida to meet up with him. I think to date, we've tried 3x's with him. Danielle loves Erica and her family (as do I) but we started to think about using frozen sperm primarily out of convenience. Because believe it or not, there is a lot that goes into trying to coordinate a baby making session. There is coordinating my schedule, his schedule, taking time off from work, buying a plane ticket, traveling, timing of ovulation, stress included with ovulating and timing, it's just a mess. So that is what led us to thinking about using a sperm bank. We had been on break for several months because of the stress, money, timing, etc and then finally, I was sitting at my desk and decided that I wanted us to try that month. Okay that week. So I emailed Danielle who agreed thought about who we wanted to use and then ordered our tank the first day.
