First off, I LOVED Mr. Scuba's MFI (Male Factor Infertility) Urologist. He was amazing. He spent over an hour with us explaining anything and everything we could possibly think of.
Now, cue the end of denial, and onto acceptance that IVF/ICSI is truly our only option for conceiving a child. It is devastating, but wallowing won't do us any good anymore. It is time for action.
Now for the decisions. We can either put Mr. Scuba on a medical protocol that gives us a chance of having his sperm count increased for a better chance at a successful IVF. The problem is that if we do the protocol, we have to wait for the IVF cycle. While waiting their is a possibility that Mr. Scuba's condition could actually get worse. There is absolutely no way to know either way. We still need time to get some money for all of this and I need time for my head to stop spinning.
It's so tough to know what do to. Do you trust the doctors, others that have been through similar things, your heart...or God?
ReplyDeleteIt's a combination of all of it, but I wish I had an easy answer for you.
We are currently in a similar situation. I don't see the point to try IUI, I want to move forward to IVF. But do we even try to do it while we are in the states, or wait until we move overseas this summer? Time is not on our side, either.
I am thinking of you, S, and still praying for you.
