FINALLY had the consult with the fertility clinic here in the hometown. YEAH!
It went really well. Like all of these consults. Tell them our life story:
Age?, Drugs?, Alcohol?, Last period?, health problems?, pregnant before?, fathered a child before?, how long TTC?, history, etc...
Measured height, measured weight. Last time I had a PAP was 13 months ago....
Here's the blood work we want you both to get done, H we need a sperm sample next week to see if you have any antibodies, W I can get you in right now to do a PAP, we'll have a nurse come in and teach you our process for IUI.
Legs- NOT shaved, Private area - NOT shaved. Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd...My first time in 15 years of having PAP's that I'm not shaved ANYwhere down there. Breathe.
It wasn't Chewbacca or anything down there, just totally not the point.
Breathe. Make fun of the situation with the Dr. Lighten things up. Done.
After consulting with the DR, this what we came up with:
1: Wait for AF
2. Month Feb - Try IUI without drugs
3. Month Mar (if needed) try IUI with injectibles ($1000-$4000)
4. If that fails, proceed to IVF.
Great News? Hell yeah. All we need is a surge on the OPK to show up. Which we haven't been able to happen since we went for our first consult in the other city.
Again, I've never been so excited to wait for my period.
