Im a newbie as well at all this infertility stuff and still trying to piece the lingo on here together.
I am a sad military wife that seems to be the only childless couple in our neighborhood. My husband and I went in this Mon to get tests taken and all that so the specialist could see where we were (after being on the waiting list four months to get in). We left feeling like the three and a half hour drive was worth it and that this guy really knew his stuff and we were going to get help and fast!He told us he would like to try some meds in pill form and a cocktail shot of sorts to get things jumpstarted. I kind of already knew the drill as I have already taken several rounds of provera and clomid (no luck)
Part of our test results came in a day later and my husband was the one to talk w/the doc as I was out of the house when the phone rang. In a nut shell the doc said it wasn't just me is was also my husband that had a problem too. Something about mobility still not sure what the whole story is there I have to wait til sometime in the middle of next week to figure out what he was even talking about because he is on vacation until then.
Basically he isn't even going to try giving us drugs or anything he strongly recommends IVF. We have no money for that whatsoever all we have is being routed to paying off student loans. This is one of the few things that military med. does not cover. What is sad is I can have a free tummy tuck or a boob job but there is no financial help for childless couples to have a bundle of joy. I have stayed close to my house these past few days because in all the new shock I never know when my water works will start and I don't want pity from others and I don't want to talk about it because I don't want to hear dead baby stories or miraculious miracles about other people getting preg.
Topping it off There are knocked up ladies EVERYWHERE right now. I had to listen to a lady over the phone complain about being preg cause it was a surprise and they already have two beautiful children and she didn't really want anymore. Of course I had to remain as sweet as possible being the ministers wife and all. There is always this unexplainable pressure to be june cleaver in the flesh with these type cast molds. ARGH! DOUBLE Argh that im going through this in a fish bowl!!
Anyway I am very glad I found this group of ladies. I hope to glean from the discussion threads on here.
