tink, LOVE the name lilyanne!! one of my nieces is actually Lilly Anne
(maybe I said that already??) anyway, i think it's beee-yooo-ti-ful!!!
soooooo, back from the UR. dh's #s are much worse regarding the count. 2 mil/ml (normal is >20 mil/ml). his morphology might be better, and the motility is about the same or slightly worse.
these things are so hard to understand and this lab used different rating parameters for the results than our first one, so it's very hard to figure out. regardless, UR ordered bloodwork for dh to see if it's a hormone issue, but he doesn't expect that meds will fix the problem with #s like that anyway. so, i'll be calling the fertility clinic this week to make a first appt and hopefully we'll be able to start iui soon. if not this cycle, then i expect next cycle for sure. dh took it all fairly well. he said he wasn't expecting it to have improved and he's looking forward to the iui now i think. i think that's b/c it takes the pressure off of "performing" with the bd'ing and "timing" intercourse, which he has never liked. but it's going to take me some time to soak it all in. really this basically means we would more than likely never conceive naturally on our own.
it's a very depressing thought.
i'm glad we know and that we have steps to take and can move on, but it's just sad to think we'd never have a baby without help. it's all going to be sooooo expensive. i'm very worried about the cost and money. dh has some money in an investment account. he said today that he wants to cash that out to pay for ivf if we need it, and i told him no. i mean, it's good he's thinking that way about how to work it out and all, and it's good we have that money, but that money is for retirement. i'm praying we can find another way to afford it.
