I really don't have a lot to say today so I won't bore you with a lot of babbling. However I just wanted to say that our new clinic has impressed me again. Along with having a phenomenal Nurse Practitioner they are also on top of it! I got a call today following up with our appointment to see if we had any additional questions to address along with the name of another urologist that specializes in fertility for a second option on Mr. Lost's man parts and swimmers. My heart about jumped out of my chest when their number popped up on the caller id thinking the results had come back in Jimmy John speed (freaky fast).
Still hoping to get my AMH results back on Friday. I am seriously freaking out with the wait.
Serenity now...serenity now...serenity now..

Our first RE appointment
We actually met with his nurse practitioner but she was extremely knowledgeable. It was pretty funny because she would ask a question and I would hand her a spreadsheet or chart to answer her questions. She just kept saying.. well, it seems as if you have done your research. I told her that I had a lot of friends going through infertility so we help each other out. I didn't tell her that my friends were all through blogs or a group on Facebook because I don't want to make you less important than the friends I actually see and have met. All of you get me. All of you can say you understand and feel my pain and I know you do. Even if you don't comment, I know you are here for me and I am here for all of you as well. We all have one common goal which is to be a parent and bring a healthy baby home.
We talked about all of our other test results, IUI and IVF. With my husband having a low count IUI doesn't really seem like a great option because he has 5.4 million that are actually swimming so after the wash we would have a very low chance of it working. SO upsetting since it is only around $700 to give it a go. I had blood drawn as well to check my AMH and should hear back by Friday and she may actually have the RE call me to discuss the findings. I am praying that we get good results because something has to go right at one point?!?! She is confident that my insurance will pay for around 3k of the testing but not the procedure so IF this is true it will be around $11,500 for IVF. Of course I asked about their success rates for a woman of my AMA (aka old ass) and she said it was between 50-60%. Of course I added my two cents when she said that by adding "our odds would have been a lot better at 30 when we started dating but someone took 7 years for us to get married!" On the way home my husband just couldn't get over the odds. He kept saying that he had better odds playing blackjack than us getting pregnant. And 12k is a lot of money for a "chance" at having a baby with no guarantee. FINALLY he is starting to get it. He would always shrug it off when I would talk about getting older and having a baby. He figured it wouldn't be that hard because people are having babies at an older age now. The odds are those older people took a while to get pregnant, or they are movie stars and have unlimited funds, or they are just lucky.
Anyway... I will let you guys know the results from the AMH test as soon as I find out. Until then I will be trying to relax. Trying being the key word. Please send good thoughts our way!

Between WTH and WTH
Nothing. I really have nothing to say. I am in between WTH and WTH. Makes sense right?
I have been temping this month and now I'm pissed that I haven't been doing it for the past year to have more insight for the Doctor on Monday. My chart is almost identical to a pregnant chart on fertility friend but my mind/heart/spirit thinks nothing of it because I have spotted brown blood from 4dpo-11dpo. Today is 13dpo and there really isn't anything happening anymore in regards to the spotting (insert WTH). My temperature has stayed above the coverline but I suspect it will be dropping any day now.
I know that I don't sound very positive right now but I'm not really down either. I am so ready for Monday and I'm ready to bring out the big guns weather that includes big old PIO needle or a million drugs that make me look like two ton tessie. The circling with that damn stork and not going anywhere is the problem right now.
