Last Friday we delivered a semen analysis to Scott and White in Temple. This was the second time Paul had to do one because the first one's results didn't look to good. I just called the office today and the nurse said the results were normal. Yay! I love good news!
So now what do we do from here?
The nurse informed me that the doctor wants to do IUI (intra-uterine insemination) next. On the first day of my next period I have to call them to set it up. Of course they'll be sticking me on more drugs but it'll get my husband and I one step closer to our goal. They try to get me to ovulate more (something like that, I got confused), then when I'm "ripe" they take only the motile sperm Paul provides and inject them straight into my uterus.
Now were getting to the point of insurance not paying. Tricare only covers up to a certain point of care but when the "real" infertility treatments start, they stop. The cost isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Only $1,100. I think I'm going to start taking donations. :-)
Today has now turned into what I call a stressful day. So much to think about. So much to plan. So much to do. One of these days everything will work itself out.
Now we have approximately 23 days to figure out when what is happening and where at. It probably won't be until then that I write again. Next time I'll have some new and more descriptive news.
