After taking a few months off from obsessing about becoming pregnant, my husband and I are revisiting everything. It was an emotional roller coaster dealing with the RE’s and Urologist all to feel as if you got nothing accomplished. We know that he obviously has a low sperm count and we don’t know the reason. If we leave it up to the RE’s, then we would either be doing IUI’s or going straight to IVF treatments. We feel like we should at least TRY to figure out what the root of the issue is before spending that kind of money and going to such extreme measures. We are not against the idea of either BUT we would like to at least try longer and possibly get a second opinion from another urologist.
I called our urologist office and talked to the office manager regarding our previous experience and how unhappy I was with the outcome. We both feel that they didn’t address the issue and furthermore, they didn’t seem concerned. After doing some additional research, we found that there were two more doctors within this huge practice that had better reputations for diagnosing and treating male infertility issues. I’ve already made the appointment so we’re both excited and anxious about it. We want answers so that we can move forward and decide what our next steps will be. We also want to get this stuff out of the way while I still have this awesome insurance that I have. I will keep you guys posted on how things go. Of course, no matter what the outcome is, we will trust God through this process.
But I trust in you, Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
Psalm 31:14 (NIV)
