We are just getting back into ttc, and already are waiting. I dropped off a semen sample for analysis yesterday. Now we have to wait to get the results. Since it was done at an outside lab and not in the REs office, it will take a few days to get the results. However, both DH and I felt we needed to know what his SA numbers were before deciding what we plan to do going forward.
If his numbers are real low, we think they might be, then there is no point in continuing to try IUI. Then we have to get everything lined up with another doctor to do IVF. I need to call and find out what, if any, coverage we have for IVF. Any suggestions on what questions I should ask?
TTC #2 since 6/2010
10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy
A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013.
DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair.
Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies.
Wishing, hoping, waiting.
