Last night, my poor family saw how pitifully blah I've been lately, and my dear, sweet father-in-law told me to go see a doctor. He said not to worry about the bill, and that we should find out what's going on. I'm so humbled by this gesture and only hope he knows how grateful I am. We have an appointment three weeks from tomorrow with our awesome home teacher/OB/GYN. I'm not even going to worry about the potential awkwardness factor involved there. I'm not going to worry about anything. Because for now, this is enough. I'm sooo thankful.
Oh, wow! How awesome you have an appointment to see the Dr! The first official step. Something I wish we had done when we started testing was insist that my husband be tested also. It bugs me that people always assume there's something wrong with the woman if you're not able to get pregnant. I went through every test humanly possible with nothing but possitive results before they would even think about the possibility that it could be an issue with Spencer. Part of that is due to the fact that i also went to an OB/GYN first. If I had just sought an appt with an Infertility Specialist from the beginning it would have saved a lot of hassle and money. By the time we got to the IF Specialist he was going to make us repeat the same tests all over again any way. That's when I had an emotional breakdown and we ended up moving from the area anyway. I haven't been back to the Dr since. I am starting to think it's time to return, though, now that we are settled. I think I'm ready, too, to re-make that first step. So here's to a fresh start for both of us! It feels good to have the courage to do something about our situation!
ReplyDeletePS - "hahaha" about the awkward factor
I know, isn't that silly? That's about the only test we have done, and everything seems to be ok. So sorry to hear about your run-around! It's so frustrating when you feel like you're just getting nowhere!
ReplyDeleteLet's take the bull by the horns (or the stirrups?) and get some answers. Good luck with everything, and let me know how it goes!
Such good news, Kathleeni! I'm so happy for you. Bless that wonderful Neil Dada's heart. Love you!
