Changing Plans
I've been a little unsure about starting injectables next cycle. Not that I have cold feet or anything like that. I just have concerns. Really just one concern. DS1 (dear son #1) is headed off to preschool this fall, probably right about the time that I will need to head to the city every morning for blood work and/or u/s. I know that DS1 is going to have a rough adjustment to going off on his own to preschool for a few hours a couple days a week. I was trying to figure out how it was going to work out, trying to get to the city and back and then get him to preschool by 9:30. It is doable... likely, but would be hella stressful, particularly if that ends up being the first week or two of preschool for him.
My RE wanted me to get the HSG report and MRI report to him in the next week and a half. Also, I have to get a hold of my insurance and find out all the details about what they cover and what they don't, which I am assuming the answer is that they don't cover anything. Then I have to report that info back to the RE office to have the meds ordered. The meds need to be order two weeks before my next cycle starts to make sure they arrive in time. And I have done none of this yet.
DH got a call from his urologist yesterday. I had totally forgotten that he had white blood cells in his first SA and they were rechecking that. The second SA showed that he had some sort of infection and the urologist called in an antibiotic for him to take. Then he is going to go back in for another SA in three weeks to make sure that antibiotics fixed the problem. Not sure what is going to happen if the problem is not fixed, and if I do everything I am supposed to by then, my order for my meds will already be in. And what if the SA still comes back a little irregular? Probably not the end of the world but then we would be going into our first round of injectables with me stressed out about missing preschool and DH not having optimal semen.
We are not completely committed to the idea, but we are thinking that maybe we will wait another cycle before we start. That will probably mean the beginning of October. It seems quite a while away but if we are going to do this, we should probably do it right. I am sure that if I didn't already have two wonderful kids and getting that first baby was the only thing on my mind, we would be diving into this with a little more impatience.
In good news, my period is almost over and apart from some normal cramps on the first day, I have felt fine. None of that doubled over thinking I was going to die thing that happened last month. Yay!
