I think we can officially say that E and I are BFFs with the urologist. Today, we had yet another appointment with him to get an update of E's testosterone levels. It has been 8 long months of appointments, surgeries, and follow-ups. Urologists appointments are awesome because I feel like over 50% of the appointment is devoted to you and your husband talking about your sex life - fun times!
The Good News: E's levels have increased by 100 and is now at 470.
The Bad News: We will not have a SA until July because it takes 3 months for sperm to mature. We were really hoping to start a fresh cycle in July (assuming my colposcopy goes well next Friday). It now looks as though we will need to push it back to August - the same month that my sister is due with her first child.
I am really hoping that the third time is a charm for us - fingers crossed!
So over the course of the last month, I have had to go for a lot of preliminary testing so that we can start a fresh cycle in end of June, beginning of July. I had blood work done, a saline sonogram, and then a bunch of tests to check for STDs.
Everything came back fine except for my pap. I have been getting pap smears done consistently for the last 15 years and everything has always come back normal. Of course the one time I NEED a normal pap, I get abnormal results.
Side note: I was not even up for a pap until July 2014 (according to the new guidelines). My advice ladies - do not follow these guidelines - go EVERY year.
My obgyn's office at first says the first appointment for a colposcopy is not until June since one of the doctors is going on vacation - Are you kidding me? After talking to the nurse, they were able to fit me in in 3 weeks instead of 5.
So, now we wait. My IF clinic said that if everything comes back normal after the colposcopy then we can still cycle this summer. Fingers crossed!
