Things are finally starting to progress in
the baby making department. I thought I
would never say that!!!
DH had an appointment with a urologist
(sp?) yesterday to talk to him about
getting his sperm analysis. The doctors
office was crazy busy and I got
closterphobic with all the people in the
waiting room. BUT...here's what he
said...Basically they didn't do anything
except take a urine sample, but they sent
him home with a sample cup. So he has an
appointment in two weeks from yesterday
and he was told that as of next Sunday
night that there will be no sex and then
on Wednesday before the appointment we
have to "collect the sample" and bring it
in within two hours.
I am going out of town this coming week
for business, so that's why we have to
wait so long...and to top it off, I might
have to reschedule his appointment,
because I think I am going to be really
busy that day at work. But regardless, we
just have to abstain for three days before
we collect the sample.
Then, after next week I am going to change
my OB/GYN doctor. I have been wanting to
do that for a while, but since I was
diagnosed with HPV I have had to go
through the treatments and have 3 clean
follow up paps before they will give me a
clean bill of health and let me go back to
annuals. So I have my third appointment
next Friday and after that, Im gone. Im
going to a doctor that has been refered to
me by 3 people. I don't feel like my
current doctor is interested in helping me
in my quest, so I want to find a doctor
that is interested in helping me.
So its moving forward, slowly, but getting
there.
So far I am keeping up with my new years
resolutions. Haven't smoked in almost a
month, I have been going to the gym 3 days
a week. And Im moving forward with my ttc
resolutions as well.
Yay for me

That is terrific
news!!! I'm so proud of you.
I'm glad they are letting him produce his
sample at home. It take so much of the
stress off.
Is the doctor you are going to switch to a
regular ob/gyn or an re?
And way to keep up the resolutions!!!! The
smoking thing is huge. So is the
excercise. Man it is going to be a good
year for you!!!

Thanks Christy.
The doctor that I am going to go to is a
regular ob/gyn that specializes is
fertility practices. This doctor is in my
network and I want to make it my regular
gyno doctor. If they refer me to someone
else thats ok. I still haven't talked to
the insurance about whats covered. Im
procrastinating on that one (I will PM
you...I have some questions) As far as my
other doctor said, there is only one RE in
Wilmington other than that I have to go a
few hours away...which is impossible when
having to schedule around work.
This doctor was referred by a girl in my
office who was trying to get pregnant and
they did the laproscopy (sp) on her and
had been working with her for a
while...she ended up getting divorsed from
her husband, so she isnt trying anymore.
And a guy who I work with, his wife was
having trouble getting pregnant and she
went to these doctors and she eneded up
getting pregnant.
Mainly I am doing this because I HATE
where I am going right now, and I want
something better.

Sure, PM away!!!
I only asked because the wait time for an
RE is normally longer then a month, so you
may want to call sooner then later for an
appt. But if this practise specializes in
fertility as well, they may have a long
wait list too. You might just want to call
and see how long it is. (I had to wait 7
weeks to get into mine)
Personal references mean a lot. I hope you
like them as much as the other ladies that
have gone there do!

I am sure that I will have to wait a while
to get in to see them. I am going to call
them and see how long it would take to get
an appointment for a consultaion visit.
Hopefully that won't be that hard to get.
