Hi, guys —
My husband and I have been married for 2 years
now and we have always wanted kids of our
own. I have had two miscarriages
in the two years we have been married. it's
been about 7 months now since we started trying
again after the second miscarriage (which
was a blighted ovum).
We began to seek help from a fertility specialist.
When the doctor checked my previous tests,
he said everything looked pretty normal and
requested a semen analysis. The only way we
knew how to get a sample was through masturbation. (We knew it was
a sin but it was the only way we knew to get a sample.)
When we got the results, we were surprised
to find that my husband had some sort of infection
and low motility. He was prescribed antibiotics
by our doctor for the next two weeks. He said
my husband needed to release sperm before
the next test. He suggested he either masturbate
or we use a condom because he didn't know
where the infection was coming from and didn't
want me to be infected, if indeed, it was
infectious.
That's when we had a talk with our priest
who was pretty disappointed my husband went
through with the masturbation. He said there
was a perforated condom we could have used
if it was available. If not, he said it would
be better to have no child, at all, than to
dishonor God.
Now, we are at a dilemma as to what we should
do. We are from the Philippines and I've tried
searching for the perforated condom or silastic
sheath, but can't find any. I'll keep on searching,
but my problem is:
- What will happen if we can't find any
here?
My husband is half way done with his medication,
and we have to go back with semen again for
analysis. Please help us.
- How do we go about getting the necessary
materials?
We would appreciate your help,
Thanks!
