When our Reproductive Endocrinologist's office called to schedule our initial consultation, they gave me two options. I could come in in 6 months which is when their next available opening would be or I could fill the cancellation they had for the next day. In my mind, there was only one real choice, so I called Aaron and told him he had to take the next day off and (because he's so wonderful) he did without any hesitation.
Going to any new doctor is intimidating but I felt extremely overwhelmed by this appointment and when I say I was overwhelmed, it was so noticeable that my blood pressure was up when the nurse checked my vitals. I had so many emotions all at the same time and honestly, I still feel most of them every time I visit my RE. I was so excited to hopefully get on the right track to having a baby, nervous about what she might find or tell us and how much everything might cost, and worried that maybe this doctor wouldn't be a good match for us. I prayed and prayed and prayed a little more for this appointment.
(Let me just throw this in for those of you that live near me, this office is wonderful. The receptionist and the nurses are all so sweet and my doctor is incredibly knowledgeable. I would love to give you their information, so feel free to contact me.)
Basically our first appointment was just a whole lot of information. My doctor explained in more detail what PCOS was and the things we could do to help it. She looked over all of our test results from our previous doctors and gave us a list of things we should have checked next. I had to have additional blood work done and Aaron had to do ANOTHER semen analysis.
When those results came in, we went back to review them with her. She found that Aaron had more sperm than the first two samples had shown, which was good news. Unfortunately though, his count was still extremely low. Based on the numbers from those three samples, his count was below 5 million per milliliter. That sounds like a lot, I know, but let me put it into perspective for you: a normal sperm count range is usually anywhere from 20 million to 150 million per milliliter.
Remember the analysis Aaron did for the urologist? The nurse finally called Aaron TWO MONTHS LATER, to let him know that his sperm seemed to move well and looked healthy.. what about the count, you ask? She didn't even mention it and we were so done with that office that we didn't even bother to ask.
Our RE decided the best thing to do next would be to send Aaron to have some genetic testing done since everything seemed to be okay aside from his count.
Genetic testing is far from cheap and sounds so intimidating so my mind automatically began to imagine all the terrible possibilities those results might bring us..
