Babywhisperer--- I thought the same thing. Is he really ready for kids? May I ask his age?
Babywhisperer: I'm sorry to hear about your DH and the Propecia. I don't understand such a great fear of losing his hair. Is there some history to it? A bad experience? My DH is bald, started thinning in college and just shaved it a few years later. I actually prefer him without hair.
Are you sure that your DH wants to have kids now? Is he freaking out about the responsibility? If he is ready for kids, how would he feel about having to use donor sperm?
I wish you the best of luck in your meeting with the FS and hope that it helps
He will be 35 in Jan. He is ready or so he says but he has to show it. So we have another appt with the RE tonight to hear what she has to say. He is coming with me and I didn't even ask. I've never seen him react to anything like the fear of going bald. I don't know where it came from but he hates growing old and looking old. I'm 2 yrs older and a woman and I'm not sensitive to growing old. Go figure.
Aw...My sister is that way! Literally she cried on her 18th birthday
Me personally- I don't really care as long as I can keep my body fit. And if that goes
well, then, I will become "eccentric" lol! Can't keep me down!
Thanks for understanding. Tonight was stressful. She kept us waiting for an hr and a half, she came into the exam room while dh was in the waiting room and we skipped the sono and just talked. She answered may questions:
Propecia affects motility and count not morphology
There is no confirmed link with Clomid and Autism
AMH is a new number that they have only been following for a year
Dh should see a urologist
After the consultation I called a family friend who is an obgyn for 40yrs and now teaches and he is referring me for a second opinion to Dr Spandorfer at Cornell since he knows him personally and professionally and respects him. He has had interns work for him, and has referred many friends to him with great success.
I am taking this month to do acupuncture, follow the diet the acupuncturist recommended. Dh will see a urologist, and I will get the second opinion and redo the tests at Cornell before I start on any protocol.
I have the full support of my dh, he said he will stop the medication if the urologist who specializes in fertility recommends it.
I came home and cried from frustration. Dh hugged me and said I am his first priority and whatever we need to do he will support, even shave his head if it comes to that! I don't know what doctors to believe since medicine has become such a business and women wanting to have babies are the most vulnerable. I think seeing someone that my close family friend knows for 20yrs and will speak to before I see him is the way I want to go. Every doctor has glowing recommendations and scathing reviews nowadays. It's so hard to know who is really being your advocate. Seeing this new RE for a 2nd opinion knowing that he will be held accountable by a close family friend makes me feel better. This same friend got my Mom to see a Dr for her pericardytis and was the only one to help her so I feel good knowing he had always referred us to the best.
On that note I am drained, but really appreciate all of you ladies for your support.
I'd LOVE to! I got up early just been hanging out for an opportunity to hop in the shower--babes has a way of taking all a gal's time 
I am in my winter break so no school required for 2 weeks 
I may take this time to get ahead though
