Going to the RE...not sure how I feel!

Bucha27 · March 2011

Well, our first appointment with the RE is next Wednesday. I am the only one in my dept that day at work and of all days for me to take off...that is def. not one of them. But I am tired of this waiting game, and I want to go and get this started! Thankfully my boss is understanding (he doesn't know the specifics, just that I have a dr appt).

Part of me is relieved, because maybe now we are just one step closer to having a baby. But I still have a big knot in my stomach. After DH's 2nd SA (which the urologist said was "good" even though his count wernt down to 30 million, motility was 45%, and morph was 1%?!), I still thought we'd get PG on our own. We said we'd wait until June to see an RE, but when I POAS on Saturday and only got the one line I think it finally hit me that it's really not gonna happen, and I went back to bed and cried for hours. Now it's like, what's the point in waiting? Let's come up with a plan and do this.

Thanks for listening

This is exactly how I felt. I know it's hard to give up on having a baby on your own, but it really was exciting going to the RE. It finally felt like we had a shot at having a baby and we hadn't felt that way since those first few months TTC. It was such a relief. I only had one conversation with MH where I was like- is this too soon to stop trying on our own? And he was like- we want to have a baby, the sooner that happens the better. So if we need a little help, so what? It will all be worth it in the end

Good luck at your appointment

P.S. 1% morph is definitely considered low. What's great about IUI (for MFI) is that it gets the swimmers one huge hurdle closer to where they have to be, so even if all of them aren't perfect, you give yourselves a much better shot!

I know what you mean - once you have the appointment, you're ready to get started! Good luck to you!

Believe me - you will never regret going to the RE sooner rather than later. Trying out different treatments and seeing what works really does take awhile. GL!!! I promise you will feel great after the meeting!

Thanks everyone!!

I feel like we've wasted enough time (first trying on our own, then just going through my OB/Gyn and the urologist for the tests), and we are SO ready to have a baby.

I remember how much I just wanted to be normal and get KU the old fashioned way- but by the time I hit my 3rd Clomid cycle with no response- I knew it was time to go. I am so glad I did. I feel hopeful now- and I know it is only a matter of time now until I will get pregnant. Seeing an RE is such a relief! He is actually very much more pro-active than my OB, although I do think my OB was great! He was very knowledgeable and monitored me correctly- but he also knew when to pass me off to an expert! I hope you will feel the same way after going in and talking to them.

Good luck!

I have my first one this Monday too, I understand what you mean, and part of me is still wishing like crazy that I would get a BFP, so I can cancel( like its really gonna happen at this point) I know I am crazy, but hopefully its one step closer to bringing home a baby. Good luck hun!
