We do sometimes poke some lighthearted fun at ourselves or each other, however. I for one would feel awful if you thought we didn't care about your problem.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 No, indeed! I absolutely do not find your situation amusing. I'm sincerely sorry if you thought my response to Rick's joke was insensitive to your plight. I wish you and your husband the best of luck. I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Have you thought about freezing sperm before he starts Methotrexate? This may be an option for you incase his fertility does not return as it ws before Methotrexate. Since methotrexate is a chemo drug and can have long term side effects. I think this would be a very reasonable thing to do to insure you have good quality sperm when you are ready to start a family. I am sorry that others in the group are finding serious matters funny. It seems to be a trend that many here are finding offensive and in the past week or so you are not the only person they seem to have made a joke out of...which I find shameful. This use to be a very nice group. I have no clue where some of these jokesters have appeared from.
