Chad's repeat SA is scheduled for March 11th at 1:00. This will be a huge deciding factor as to how we move forward. On January 17th his sperm count was between 100,000-200,000, but we really need for them to be around 6-8 million this time so that we can at least qualify for IUI. Huge jump, I know. He will be doing this sample from home this time which will definitely help with the awkwardness of having women cackling outside of the door while he is trying to "rape himself," as Chad calls it. We are really hoping that his low numbers were due to the Testosterone Boosters from Walmart that he had been taking for about 2 months. As soon as we got the call with his low results those pills were thrown in the garbage and he immediately started taking Fertilaid. Chad isn't anticipating them rising significantly and feels like we are destined to have an IVF baby.
I also decided to bite the bullet and scheduled my Lap surgery for March 15th. I'm not sure about my coverage information yet, but I should be receiving that any day in the mail. I'm anticipating about $2,000 out of pocket expenses. The Dr really thinks I have endo.. so Lord, let there be endo that he can get rid of! I really wasn't looking forward to having exploratory surgery (that still has it's risks) that costs as much as (2) IUIs, just to see if I MAY have something only for it to be able to come back! He did say that if we do IUI or IVF we could "bypass" doing the Lap of course because I could still get pregnant, but I know it's probably better to start off with a clean slate NOW rather than 3 or 4 IUIs in. Stab away Dr!
