An Update of Sorts

I just have a brief update, for record keeping sake. I am now on my 25th cycle of trying to conceive. After meeting with my ob/gyn we have decided it's time to move forward with fertility testing for me. But first I need a letter from G's and my GP doctor stating that his fresh sperm is relatively safe to work with due to his long-standing undetectable viral load and his good sperm analysis (including a copy of the analysis). We have an appointment with our doc on December 13th to get that information. My ob/gyn also needs to obtain permission from the insurance company to do the fertility testing so we have to wait on that. It could could take as long as a month or so to get the permission.

I am so paranoid that the insurance company will deny the testing. I'm also afraid that they're not going to be able to find any reason for me not getting pregnant. I'm hoping very, very much that we will be able to do IUI (which automatically includes sperm washing) with G's sperm.

I was browsing some of the TTC blogs and stumbled across you. I love your blog set up - My hubby is a "wolf" too and would love it.

Anyway - I hope that your testing moves forward with no hitches and you get some answers. I understand 100% how frustrating wanting to TTC is...and having no answers as to why it is not happening.

I suffered from secondary infertilty for 5 years before having my second child, and another 3 years or so of TTC after that with my ex. Now I'm re-married and we got pregnant right away with our first, but have been trying for almost 6 months for our #2 now. It's hard, and frustrating when it just doesn't happen.

I know that TTC #1 and TTC #4 is different, but it hurts the same when your family isn't complete and you know it.

I truly hope you are blessed soon. I'm going to add your blog link to my TTC Blogs I read .. if you don't mind.

How happy am I to see a post from you? I totally know what you mean about worrying that the insurance will deny the claims for testing or any sort of treatment. I think that was the hardest part of ttc for me - knowing that they might possibly be able to help me but that money was standing in our way. Anyway, I wanted to say that you are completely justified in your concerns, but I'm keeping all sorts of stuff crossed in hopes of things working out in a positive light for you guys. *hugs*
