15DPO - I'm back! And I have good news!

[katiekittykat]

It's done!! I've handed it in at the lab!

Clo-mid - I'm watching a couple of the games on ebay...I'll let you know if I get them!

 

[Rachael1981]

Think they say it all

 

[katiekittykat]

I'm so happy I could cry! Have made an appointment to see the doctor on 21 Feb at 3.10pm.

 

[Rachael1981]

Yay! Then things should get moving for you! We will be bump buddies before you know it

 

[Clobo]

Yay, thats really good news Katie, I have to say once i had made the doctor take me seriously it all happened quite quickly, I had blood tests, a scan and if they ask if you want to be referred to a specialist say yes straight away as the waiting lists can be quite long. I waited 13 weeks in total to get my first appointment.

Good luck chick, you are well on your way to your

 

[katiekittykat]

Will he have to come with me to the doctors appointment? Does anyone know?

I've just told him that I've made the appointment with the docs and he's gone off the deep end again....

 

[Rachael1981]

Surely he knew the whole point of all of this was so that you could see the FS to get help? So why has he gone off the deep end again?

I have no idea if he needs to go or not

 

[Sideways 8]

Yay for sperm sample!! hehe
But I'm curious why he would be upset that you got a doctor's appointment? How weird... I mean... he DID realize that's what the SA was for, right?

 

[katiekittykat]

He doesn't see the point of going to the doctors when it's me that needs the help. The way he's reacted you'd think I'd asked him to come with me and donate a kidney, or an eyeball or something!!

All I said was that if he off work he could come along with me - they might not discuss his test results without him being there anyway. And all I got in response was a major temper tantrum.

 

[Rachael1981]

Do you ever wonder why we bother? I certainly do at times

 

[Clobo]

I think he can ring up for his results within a week of today or something and they should be able to tell him over the phone the general results. If all is ok then you can go to the doctors appt and they can start to sort you out, or if there is something wrong (hopefully not) then he will have to come with you for them to look into what they need to do.

So for now id just find out what date he can get his results from and just tell him he needs to make a phone call .... cross the next hurdle when you come to it chick.

Big Hugs for you, men just do not understand, mine came with me to my first FS appointment as he was told he had to but he didnt come the second time and that was when I was told I had to have the laparoscopy and I was so upset i had a panic attack and had to miss the afternoon of work and drive myself home. From now on husband is coming with me whether he likes it or not (which he wont like it!)

Sounds like you need to take tiny steps with him, it sounds like he's overwhelmed with it all and like someone said before he's probably worried (as all men would be) that something is wrong with him thats puts his masculinity at risk.

Keep that chin up, every step takes you nearer xxxx

I know....I was like, so if I ever do get pregnant are you just not going to come to any midwife or doctors appointments with me because it's got nothing to do with you?

Really, I should learn to keep my gob shut where all this is concerned

Dare I ask what his response to that was?!

Apparently that's not the same thing

 

[Sideways 8]

Katie, you have the patience of a saint

 

[katiekittykat]

Thanks Clo_mid. I'll try and get him to ring up in a couple of weeks. Seconds out, round two

I do, don't I? lol

I really need to cop on that OH is really not interested in all this TTC....whenever I mention it there's always an argument.

 

[Sideways 8]

Seems like he's best kept in the dark about a lot of things. Is that your doctor appointment in Feb, or is it his?

All I said was that if he off work he could come along with me - they might not discuss his test results without him being there anyway. And all I got in response was a major temper tantrum.

He was probably just feeling relief (excuse the pun!) that he had done his sample and was thinking that the pressure would be off him for a while - so when he then hears about the doctors appointment he feels the pressure is back. My OH would be exactly the same - pleased with himself for getting the pressure off him and then annoyed that I/the situation puts it back on him again.

Men....
