Trouble TTC

Treatment Bucket List (long)

Well, DH is still undergoing testing.  RE said I am in good (reproductive) shape but DH needs to see a Uro and possibly an endocronologist depending on the second blood draw.  His testosterone was low and possibly has a hypothyroid.

So now we have a decision.  The RE more or less confirmed our only chance of a biological child is through IVF or donor sperm IUI or IVF.  We have decided that I will finish grad school (in May) before we start any treatments.  We have also decided to make a bucket list and complete the items on the list before we start saving money for IVF.

So far on the list: Cruise to Caribbean, Camp as many weekends as possible, Get in shape by eating better and exercising, European vacation (esp. visiting my cousin who lives in Milan), and home renovation projects.

Any suggestions on what else to add to the list?

    You have high price items on your list so I will give you low-budget ideas...

    Have wine and cheese and chocolate for dinner. 

    In a beach town Ride beach cruisers, from bar to bar.

    Play Scrabble.

    Host parties at your house as often as possible.

    Join a co-ed sport team together. 

    And have sex for fun ;)

    Mine would be to go out to a really expensive dinner - Top Chef style. I've always wanted to do that, but just can't bring myself to pay $300 for dinner and drinks.

  • Buy yourself some VERY good sheets and a new comforter/bedroom set. Changing up the atmosphere could give you and DH a whole new perspective for the next few months and take comfort to a new level!

  • That must of been a lot to take in.  I think it's good to have this list and keep busy.  GL with completing the items and saving for IVF.
