I have my husband's sperm. Frozen.

Is this not an acceptable occurrence among humans?

[as_damaged]

It isn't uncommon, under circumstances like mine.

[sciencedaughter.livejournal.com]

The way you say it, I assume that your husband has a dangerous occupation that could end unexpected demise, been rendered infertile, or... "passed away".

[thenormalsquint]

Well, that's an interesting conversation starter.

[as_damaged]

I'd like to be a mother someday. Not yet, but eventually, when I'm ready; and I thought, if I never find anyone else...

[thenormalsquint]

...you'd have the genes of somebody you wouldn't mind being spiritually linked to through another soul for the rest of your life. I understand that completely.

There's nothing wrong with that. Hoping for the future...

[as_damaged]

It's as much clinging to the past.

[sword-boy.livejournal.com]

I disagree. It helps to drive us towards achieving our goals... It did for me.

[dr_conscience]

I'm sure you already realize that there's nothing unusual, strange or wrong about that.

[as_damaged]

I know. It isn't an uncommon practice with terminal cancer.

...Here?

[as_damaged]

Of course not.

[deadlesbian.livejournal.com]

...why?

[as_damaged]

Because he'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Faced with the certainty that he'd die before we could conceive children, we decided to freeze it. In case I never found anyone else, in case I ever wanted a child.

That's... eerily romantic, actually.

[as_damaged]

Thank you, Blair.

If only Kate Winslet knew about such a thing when Leo sank into the Atlantic.

[as_damaged]

Disappointed that they missed their chance on a sequel?

This curse isn't pulling any punches, but I guess none of them really do.

[as_damaged]

It could be worse. This is at least factually accurate, unlike other things I've ended up saying.

Does this have anything to do with 'condoms'?

audio; please pardon my late reply <3

[as_damaged]

Not... exactly?

Condoms are used for contraception; I kept my husband's sperm so that I can conceive, if I want to, even in his absence.

[bonescientist.livejournal.com]

Well, that sounds like a rational course of action to enable impregnation. I presume your husband is either deceased or been rendered infertile?

please forgive the lateness of my reply! D:

[as_damaged]

He passed away. Cancer. Shortly after we were married, actually.
