We had an issue with Dr. Fulk that threw me over the edge. Since our 2nd try didn't work I started doing a daily ovulation test which would only give me 24hrs notice to do the insemination so I had asked the nurse how long they could hold the speciman in the office since I would have such short notice. She said they could hold it until I came in so I ordered it on day 5 of my cycle since that is when I started the ovulation test. I called about a week later to ask another question and the nurse told me that the speciman was bad and had only lasted 7 days. I was furious! She had already received 2 shipments so she should have known how long it would last. So there's $610 down the drain. Erica and I discussed things and decided that I should make an appointment with Dr. Weaver because she is listed as a fertility specialist. So today I had my first appointment and I really liked her. She said she has done hundreds of inseminations and that sometimes they have containers lined up in the office because they do so many. Plus, she already uses the cryobank that we chose so there is no paperwork for me to do. So at today's appointment she said my uterus looks great so she decided to test my progesterone levels. (insert a squirm because I hate needles) I should have the results from my blood work back by Tuesday. If the levels are good I will go in on day 12 or 13 of my cycle for an ultrasound to see if I have produced enough follicles and if I have it's insemination time. If the levels are low I will take a pill for 5 days starting on day 5 of my cycle and then on day 12 or 13 I get a shot and the next day I go in for insemination. She said the average fertile couple takes 6-12 tries before things work and to not get discouraged. I love that she has a plan and was so welcoming and nice about everything. Ahhhh < that's my sigh of relief. I think we are on a great path with Dr. Weaver!
PS - Erica should be excited it looks like May is a boy month.
