Re: TTC check in
Nothing to report here. Getting slightly annoyed at this point.
H is OOT for work Monday - Thurs next week...guess when the "good days" are supposed to be.
Bummer Kare....

checking in!!
i just started my period yesterday so i need to start really paying attention to my cycle and jumping back on this bandwagon for reals! we move at the end of the month and H is graduated...so it's finally time! i'm so ready
so...let's see...i'll probably be "trying" in about 10 days or so
yay
Does this mean you'd like to be on the TTC list???
My Profile
I agree. At first I was all "whatever happens". Since I was pg for like a day it made me want a baby bad. Now that over a year's gone by I'm kind of just over the whole situation. I'm sure I'll be happy when I actually am pregnant again, but I'm still not ready to temp and chart and all that. I definitely can't see myself doing fertility treatments or anything of that nature so who knows. I'd like a baby, but I don't want to stress myself and my relationship out getting to that point. My first thought is that it's "not worth it" to me. Although technically I guess it would be. I think I'm just conflicted...
I hear you on being conflicted. Friends of our who had fertility issues years ago made the decision to live childless. We hung out with them at the beach over the weekend. The wife asked me if I thought about throwing the towel in and make the choice to live a childless life. I told her right now I'm not at that point, but I sometimes think about it. Our current plan is to give IVF a try late this summer early fall, but now I am kind of considering putting it all on hold and pursuing bariatric surgery. Either way we have to pick up H's insurance.
Personally I'd adopt before doing any of the treatments, but that's because I'm totally scared of any medical procedure!
H is not down with adopting and we're really not at that point yet anyway, but we have discussed options so we'll see. He said he doesn't want to go the whole fertility route either so for now it's just a hope we get pg and don't have to worry about it situation.
I guess I just got my hopes up that it would be so easy since the doctor basically said since I was able to get pg I'd get pregnant again right away. I'm sure she was being optimistic, but it took my cycle so long to get on track that we've really only been actively trying since January.
Not that long I understand, but it seems long when it only took us like two "tries" last time.
yes, Dannielle...you can add me to the list
Kare and BMW....i think about you two every month. i want it for you (and for everoyne else too!) so bad
For everyone- I hope it happens soon!
Thanks!! Ill update about the urologist appt tomorrow. I think H is in for a good arse chewing tomorrow. They just called me to ask where he had the lab work done at. I said "Oh you mean the lab work he never had?!"
I thought he was doing good with labs now! Did he regress??
We will hopefully be TTC by the end of the year. I have started prenatals and am in the process of losing weight in hopes of having a better chance of getting pregnant and staying pregnant.
BMW, I really don't think you are large enough to get a bariatic surgery. I don't know much about it though honestly.
Last summer he was prescribed the antibiotics and blood work. He did neither. Then this March he had a repeat semen analysis b/c the new clinic required it. There was no change from his previous one though b/c he never took the antibiotics in the first place. The fert clinic told him to go back to the urologist and start over again.
When he called the Uro the soonest they could get him in was tomorrow (over a month wait to see this Dr.). So all she is going to do tomorrow is say "Dumbass take the freaking antibiotics and anti inflammatory like I told you and get your blood drawn you big baby". Or at least that's how I hope the appointment goes!
Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. I hope the appointment goes that way also!
