Hubby and I are going through a round of fertility stuff. After finding out his sperm count was on the low end, he went to a urologist and found out he has varicoceles, which is like varicose veins in the scrotum. Fun stuff huh? There is a fix for it (surgery) but his Uro wanted him to do another SA (semen analysis) to be sure. He did and my doctor said, "Hey, we can work with that!" So, now the plan is to go ahead with the fun tasks (shots, ultrasounds and blood tests galore) of a double IUI next month. Before I can do that though, I had to go through an HSG which stands for something actually longer and harder to pronounce. I did it today. I was told it would be horribly painful and to brace myself but my experience was not painful at a all. Want the TMI? Ok, well they take some dye and they stick it up your uterus and see if it goes out into your body cavity thru x-ray. If it doesn't then that means you have a blockage in your tubes which could prevent ovulation/pregnancy. But the good news is, my tubes are not blocked and everything looks hunky dory! YAY!
So now I am supposedly especially fertile and will be working on that this weekend! Then be ready for next month... I am excited, nervous, and apprehensive. So many emotions because we have been trying for so very long. Plus it has been 11 years since I gave birth! To add to the pressure and emotions, it seems I am surrounded by pregnant people! A lot of the people I care about and who are close to me are either pregnant or about to give birth or just gave birth... and it has been tough on me. BUT I a hopeful that this is now our time. Please pray for us to have a little lemon of our own. :)
