Junkie
I just called to see if any of the injectable medications will be covered by my insurance. I had to give them a list of all the possible drugs so they could go through them and call me back to let me know what, if anything, is covered. I felt like quite the junkie rattling off the extensive list. They should call back in the next few days. I am very nervous about what they are going to say and just how much this is going to cost. And that is just for the drugs. I don't think any of the u/s and other monitoring will be covered, or the IUI. I can hardly wait to see what level of junkie-ness I will feel when I get my medications and needles and all that fun stuff.
DH has been taking an antibiotic to hopefully help clear up the issue of white blood cells in his semen. I called yesterday to make the appointment and he goes in on August 31st to get that checked out again. The urologist wrote something on his prescription about "chronic prostatitis". DH googled it although I am kinda confused about what he said he saw. Basically it could cause infertility issues but can also result in depression and tiredness - both of which DH has issues with. (Technically he has anxiety issues but his anxiety always responds better to anti-depressants than to anti-anxiety medications.) I told him that I was actually glad that he might have a medical condition that makes him tired because all this time I just thought he was lazy. I'm actually far more concerned about the depression/tiredness issues than I am about the fertility thing. Although the fertility thing sucks for right now, the depression/tiredness is going to affect him forever.
We decided to "try" to have a baby the old fashioned way this month. We pretty much sucked at it. I guess we are out of practice with having sex when we are supposed to instead of just doing it when we want to. The only chance would be with the sex we had last night, which turned out to be the day after I think I ovulated, so probably not much luck there.
Still planning on holding off until my late-September/early-October cycle to do the injectables and IUI.
I've been a member of a yahoo group for people with unicornuate uteruses (uusisterhood) for a little while now. Someone contacted me who came across my blog from another yahoo group for people with Mullerian Anomalies (MullerianAnomalies). Mullerian Anomalies cover pretty much all abnormalities in the formation of the female reproductive tract. The group is so active and there is so much information on there that I can't even keep up! When I was diagnosed I thought I pretty much learned all there was to learn in the matter of a week or so of checking out the internet. That was only because I couldn't find much information on UU's or Mullierian Anomalies.
And that is where we are now.
