Trouble TTC

1st RE appt. update

There is a much longer account on my blog, if any of you are readers, so I'll make this more brief.

LOVE my doctor and LOVE his staff thus far. All friendly, sympathetic, and proactive.

Today's appointment consisted of a consult, the long-awaited date with the dildo cam, b/w, and the request for an SA from DH (due to illness, DH was not able to join me today and he probably won't be able to do the SA until next week, but he's ready to do it). We went over plans of action, which will obviously be based on test results. He says most likely, we'd be going for IUI.

The sonogram did show fewer than average follies than he'd like to see in someone my age (he said I was young!), but that may not mean anything at all.

I really appreciate all the questions you ladies have answered and the support that helped me make the call.

And, alhal, thank you for all the wonderful things you said about Dr. K that got me to him!

    Yay!  So glad that you loved Dr. K and his staff!  I like them more and more with each of my visits.  Sounds like you had a good first appointment.  Hopefully your DH's SA will turn out perfect and you'll be able to move forward with whatever course of action you and Dr. K choose.  If you end up going the IUI route, I'd be happy to answer any questions since I started the same route last cycle!
