My husband is in a similar boat as Justin. The reality is, if your sperm is not going to be able to lead to a natural conception, then it's not going to lead to a natural conception - it doesn't matter how old/young your are, or how long you've been with your spouse. If they knew there was no chance of getting pregnant on their own because of information they got from medical testing, then waiting any amount of time wouldn't change that. So if they wanted to have a baby now, they had to turn to IVF. Some comments on here made it sound like if they would wait a little longer, maybe they would get pregnant on their own in due time if they would just stop trying to rush it. But that's just not going to happen, whether they've been married for 8 months or 8 years. Now whether or not they're mature enough for a baby is a different story... but they clearly decided that they want one asap, so there's nothing weird or wrong with the path they chose to make that happen.
You can keep embryos frozen for years, though. They already have multiple frozen embryos. We understand that they need IVF but they don't have to do multiple transfers while Justin is deployed and they are in their very early 20s.
They want kids young, which of course is fine. But I for one am curious as to why she cannot even wait until her husband is home and done with the military, which she said will happen sometime this year. I don't understand their rush when he is not even around, and wasn't for Brynn's pregnancy either, until she lost Brynn. Poor guy was not even there when Brynn died in her womb, IIRC. I think she had to wait to be induced until he could fly home to be with her.
