Cali - I'm sure this week feels like forever for you. I'll be praying for your little one to stay put and keep on growing!!
I'll have to do my own injectables since hubby is probably more of a wimp around needles than I am. So, in the tummy for me. My appointment is next Thursday afternoon and we're supposed to be getting more details about the IVF program. After the urologist appointment we are having a hard time coming to a decision. The best possible chance at finding sperm would be through microdissection where they cut hubby open and search with the use of a microscope to try and find sperm. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover any of it so it is all out of pocket and the procedure alone costs $4,000 and you have to add hospital costs and anesthesia so we're talking about around $10,000. The other choice is where they do a smaller incision and just take three tissue samples from each side and test those samples for sperm. Less expensive option.
Hubby right now is thinking it would be silly to waste $10,000 on a procedure where they could tell us they find nothing. I'm torn. I want to give him the best chance of being able to father our children but I understand because we have other plans for that money. Nothing about this diagnosis is easy, let me tell you that. Regardless, we're going to have to understand we may end up having to use a donor either way. I just wish it wasn't so hard and so expensive for us to have a baby.

Hoping for no spotting then! When do you think you'll test?
I'm living vicariously through you while I wait (yet again) for our next appointment. With all this waiting I should be a very patient mommy whenever we manage to have a baby.
