re: The Struggles of TTC Support Group!

Quoting Dicey Wifey:" Yep... that's me... miss super inpatient! You should have heard me when I thought I was pregnant with ... [snip!] ... get pregnant naturally? Or will we wind up doing IVF and how long will that take? I hate the unknown :/ Sorry my vent, ladies!"

Don't apologize! That's what we are here for, for venting!   Thank you, we are really excited... our IVF consultation is exactly one month from today, and I feel like it's forever away!! But we are hopeful... we still don't know if his problem is obstructive or non obstructive. Did the doctor say his weight could be a problem? Patrick is skin and bones, with 0 sperm count... he drinks and smokes ciggarettes, but our doctor said that his problem isn't from his habits, she actually thinks its something like missing the tube or a blockage. We will have more answers once we go to the urologist, as will you guys... but the waiting always sucks when it's the only thing on your mind!

It absolutely could be from a blocked tube (from both our men). That's what the RE said, but said she has no answers (obviously). His low sperm count probably doesn't have anything to do with his habits because smoking doesn't decrease sperm count, just mobility.

She said that his weight could have something to do with it...he also has some blood labs to do when he does his SA. Increased weight can cause hormonal imbalances. So he might need some drugs (like femera) to correct the imalance. Or he could just need to lose weight. He's afraid to go to the doctor (including the urologist) because they blame everything on his weight... but this could actually be a weight issue. I guess we'll have no real answers until he goes.
I'm nervous for this one... I really want to go with him but he's so gaurded about it. He says he doesn't need me to hold his hand

Patrick said the same thing! "I'm a big boy!" lol yeah, ok!! He got blood tests done too, which we got a nice bill of 340 dollars for! Lovely!

Quoting True Diva:" Heyy ladies haven't posted in a while. Giving update SO told me that he doesn't feel like TTC right now ... [snip!] ... want to respect his wishes. He says that we have took the fun out of sex. So no more tracking for the next couple of months."

When i got pregnant in may, i was doing injectibles--but i was only tracking by u/s and opks. I did not tell my dh when i was ovulating..just have fun with it..even if you do take the opks, don't tell him when you'll be ovulating..it stresses so/dh out..well it did for my dh anyways

lab bills are wonderful arent they? before i got pregnant, dh had to have a blood chromosome test done..and that was $540! (including after insurance paid! it was an $1100 blood test)

af still hasnt come but test took earlier was bfn, saw a shadow as went to throw it but think it was an evap since was 2 hrs later and little while ago ended up throwing up suddenly, barely made it to bathroom and heartburn killing me now since and still nauseous

They are wonderful!! lol I know we will have to pay out of pocket for most my DHs tests and procedures- because his insurance sucks. But I keep telling myself it's worth it. Thank god we have savings!

I hate how men act like they need to prove something. smh.
We have an outstanding bill for tests, too. Not that much but still about $100. It's crazy because the cost of TTC DS was $0.

Happy Friday all.
I had the worst day ever yesterday. I got a speeding ticket from this jerk cop. He also sited me for driving without insurance b/c I didn't have proof. So now, I have to take my happy butt down to the court house.
I also found out yesterday that my work (a small assisted living) is being put up for public auction next friday because the owner hasn't paid her taxes in 3 years. I'm worried my paycheck is going to bounce and I won't have my second job.
DH was supposed to do his 2nd SA tomorrow...but I guess we're both horrible about abstaining lol. He jumped on me this morning. I guess this will have to wait another week. I should buy a chastity (sp) belt lol.
