Ok, for some reason, the March Teacups have been extra disconcerting . . . I write the rest in dialogue-ish form because unbelievably, its easier to follow that way . . .
DH calls his urologist's office on Tuesday, March 1st: "Is there any chance you would fax my SA results to my wife's fertility doctor's office?" (Our rationale was-- if they are good, let's see if my doctor would like to proceed with anything this cycle, this was my cd 3)
DH's Dr's office to DH: "sure."
Me to my Dr's office: "I just wanted to give you a heads up that my DH's post-op SA results will be faxed over and I would like my Dr to review in case they are good enough for an IUI, we'd like to perhaps try to get that scheduled, I am cd 3 today."
My Dr's office to Me: "ok."
Same day a few hours later . . .
DH gets a call back from his Dr's office: "We cannot fax your results to anyone including you until your Dr reviews the results with you at your Monday appointment."
Sigh.
Three days later (my cd 6) . . .
DH gets a call from his Dr's office now saying: "Sure we'll fax those results to your wife's doctor!"
--I think to myself, What the heck? --
So DH calls me and I then call my Dr.
--No one understands the emotional plight ladies riding the teacups go through!--
Me to my nurse: "I don't know what the results are, however if they are good I'm sure if we can still look at an IUI this cycle since I'm already cd 6, I haven't been on clomid or anything, perhaps at least next cycle"
My nurse to Me: "Since you're O'ing regularly and because we know there is male-factor, sometimes just the IUI is all that is needed to help."
--I can accept this (I'm sort of crunched for time, do I have any other choice than to accept).--
My nurse to Me: "We will be closing today at noon," [Its 11:40 am] "we are having a half day today, so call back on Monday to make sure we got DH's results from his Dr's office."
My brain: --Gah!!--
My Nurse says: "Why don't we assume they are good results, and schedule you for an ultrasound on your cd 11, and try for an IUI on cd 12?"
My brain exclaims: --What?!--
So I have an appointment on Wednesday, March 9th for an ultrasound. This appointment is my first ever scheduled ultrasound for an IUI. I'm slightly over-elated at this fact. I understand it is a little like putting the cart before the horse; my Dr still hasn't seen the results, DH and I haven't seen the results, so Monday is still the tell-all if we can proceed with said appointment. I also understand that if the results are not yet IUI numbers, I will have to cancel the ultrasound and thus, the IUI. I explained these scenarios to DH and we are like always, cautiously optimistic.
I just wanted to share my exciting little ride on my ever so nauseating, teacups. Monday is almost here. Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
