Well I went to the RE yesterday and in the end all was fine but honestly I should have changed doctors when I had the chance. (and I do know I still can) He sat down at his desk and started talking and looking at my chart then he stopped and said why are you here? His notes said I was going to try 3 more times and then come in again to start monitoring and more meds. I had done the 3 tries I wonder why I was in?! Anyway I told him I wanted to take it to the next level and he said IVF, I SAID NO. Then I told him my plan and we went from that.
So I will go in for pregnancy test on Sat. Based on that I will know if I am starting injectables. The nurse showed me how to make the mixture and how to poke myself. I am a little nervous especially because Brooke is away for a week so I am on my own for the first ones most likely. I can do it! I just have to keep telling myself this :)
On another note we had a busy weekend. We had a new water heater installed and some other random plumbing issues fixed. We had a junk removal company come and clean out our garage and basement and the house looks good. It is also really nice to take a bath in clear hot water. It has been rusty for a while.
I also just read on baby center that we can claim sperm as a medical expense on taxes! (it does have stipulations as one would expect) Who would have thought? So any of you ladies buying sperm take advantage.
My last dilemma is if I wait till Sat for the results or do I buy two pregnancy tests today? I have almost run out to get them more than once but I feel I should just wait....but then again??? What do you think?
Change docs! And yes, if your medical expenses go over (I think) 7.5% of your gross income you can start writing off all kinds of things. Just start keeping good notes now--I'm expecting a very nice tax return this year because of TTC! I could never wait on the testing, personally...
ReplyDeleteI would take a home pregnancy test... but I am so bad at being patient. If you can hold out until Saturday though, at least you will have definite confirmation from the doc one way or another. And... I agree with Isa, I would change doctors. He sounds disorganized. You want as many good feels as possible during this process; find a doctor that you love! :)
