*Note - I started this post last Tuesday, but haven't had a chance to finish it until today.
I talked to the infertility nurse today. I shared with her the results from the semen analysis. She told me that she wanted me to fax her the results, but that it sounded like we were heading in the direction of infertility treatment. She gave me a referral to two different places around here. One of them happened to be the same doctor who helped one of my friends out with her IVF. He comes very highly recommended. So I called that office to schedule an appointment. They said they don't actually schedule new patient appointments until after you've filled out the 14 pages of paperwork accessible from their website. So I need to get that filled out and submitted so we can schedule.
In the meantime, I'm still scheduled to go into the lab tomorrow for a Progesterone 21 test. I asked the nurse if I should still do that, and she said I'd probably end up doing it eventually anyway, so I decided I'll still do it.
I also noticed on the first page of paperwork from this infertility center that I have to have immunity to Rubella before they'll move forward with any treatment. So once again, Rubella is a resurfacing issue. However, on their paperwork, they said you only have to wait one month before trying to conceive (instead of the 3 months I was told from the Women's Clinic). So, I've decided I'm just going to get that done ASAP.
I honestly never thought it would come to this, but I'm trying to keep a good attitude. I know that we likely have a long road ahead of us, full of both emotional and physical pain. Financially, I'm not sure yet how we're going to afford the infertility treatment. But we will do absolutely any and everything we can to have this baby.
