Why you don't post incomplete news....

Ok....I've been sick since my last post so I haven't had a chance to update.....so here is what has happened since "Oh Happy Day" LOL

Debbie (from the Dr's office) called me back at about 1:30 - 2:00 PM (after faxing me the SA results) and said that the lab had just called Chelsea (another girl in the office) and said that they are sending over a new “result” for it and all it says is that it has to be repeated and that THIS new report supersedes any and all previous reports. Debbie has no clue why they are saying this and they didn’t tell Chelsea. Debbie says she is going to call the lab and ask and call me back.

At about 2:45 PM Dr. himself called. He said that the total count was low (low being 23 MILLION in 2 cc’s of specimen) and that is partly because the sample was little and the sample was little because of the method of collection. He would prefer to see ATLEAST 3 cc’s to feel it is an accurate analysis. He said the sperm that ARE there are “GREAT” just that it would be better to have MORE. He said that it is likely if we can get me to ovulate that we COULD conceive naturally (keeping in mind that it only takes ONE sperm) but if we confirm I ovulate and time BD appropriately for 3 - 4 months with no conception…..then he recommends IUI (and he can do this…no RE). He said that it is HIGHLY likely if we collect under better circumstances (no lab screw ups) that those counts will improve and he would like to repeat it in 2 weeks. If counts still come back low it is very probable that there is a tube slightly twisted or a varicose vein pressing on a tube….both VERY easily diagnosed and corrected. THEN, after all that, I asked him what about what the lab was saying about it having to be repeated and that superseding any and all results sent before??? He said he was not aware of that, that he called me first thing after walking through the door and no one had told him about that. Now he needs to go find out what that is all about and he will call me back.

Well, he nor Debbie ever called me back and at this point I was tired of worrying about it...especially if the results that we did have were "worst case scenario" so I figured I would just wait until my appt. today (Monday 3/2) to find out. So, I went to my appt. today and they said they never found out what the problem was. Grrrr. He wants us just to repeat the SA anyway to see what kind of results we get this time. And nothing much else to report. My HSG is this Thursday and then I have another appt. scheduled with him next Wednesday. I am HOPING that THAT is the appt. I will finally get my scripts for Provera and Femara!!! (as long as I have pretty tubes) Oh, I did find out, tho, that OB/GYN's aren't allowed to prescribe/give HCG triggers anymore. You have to be "certified in fertility treatment"....AKA an RE. Grrrr. But I am not too worried about that.....I may not even need it.
