The Phone Call

While titling this post, and coming up with "the Phonecall," all I could think was that it really sounds foreboding! But trust me it was a good phone call. Full of answers and hope!


Here's a picture of me and my hubby goofing off :) just cause.

I received the call from my doctor with the results from our blood tests and from Randy's semen analysis. They had not received all of Randy's blood test results back but those that they had gotten were normal! My results for the blood test came back normal as well. Along with the blood tests, my doctor also had me tested to see how my egg reserve was. She said that it was excellent and that I still had plenty of eggs in reserve! It was great news, but all I could think besides 'yay! Lots of eggs means more chances for babies!' Was 'oh no! More eggs means more periods!' Lol that tells you how much I hate having periods!

Randy and I were both worried about his results from the semen analysis. Since his test with our last doctor was so low. Well we were surprised when she told us that his numbers were now at 18 million! Slightly abnormal since they wanted them at 20 or above. The morphology and mobility were either right at where they needed to be or just slightly below! We were relieved and excited! Because 18 million is much better than 1.5 million any day!

Now that we had the results we talked with our doctor to decide where to go next. After some deliberation we decided that with my next cycle we would do an IUI (interuterine insemenation). This is where they take sperm and put it through a "wash" which makes it safe for them to place them directly into the uterus. This raises the chances of pregnancy compared to regular means. Which for us do not seem to work. We were so excited! We were finally getting answers! We finally found a doctor who is proactive in helping us to get pregnant! We had plans made for what to do next!


Now this is a side note- I have been thinking this past week about doing a highlight day. This would be a day where you as readers can share your stories! Whether they are success or like mine where it is ongoing. Let me know in the comments of you would like if I did this :)

Til next time!
