The Eternal Guest Room

Hello to everyone visiting from ICLW! I can’t even being to tell you how much it means to have this community; I honestly don’t know how I’d manage without it.

Just to give you some history:

My husband D and I have been TTC for 4 years next month (which I honestly cannot believe). Our first roadblock was a varicocele, which was repaired, and now we’re dealing with a low count and some other parameters on the low side. Our official diagnosis is “mild male factor.” Then I had a hysteroscopy to remove a huge polyp in my uterus in January 2010 – we thought that was the magic ticket. We then tried 4 IUIs and were about to start IVF, but discovered the polyp had grown back in the same spot as last time. I guess it just really loves me. So I had surgery again last week. We’re currently in a three-month holding period before we can jump into IVF, mandated by insurance even though the only thing they pay for is the occasional office visit and some of the bloodwork.

So we’re just waiting again, waiting for the time to pass so we can actually do something. In the meantime we have 3 chances to “try on our own,” which we will, with everything we’ve got, but we’re planning and ready for IVF at the end of it. It’s good to have a solid plan for once.

Thanks for stopping by!
