...and the flowers and the trees and the egg and the sperm
Oh the clinical nature of this baby-making activity!

So we met with Dr. Paul (that's his first name to protect his anonymity :) yesterday.
Dorkyfaerie is going to undergo a battery of tests to make sure everything in there is working correctly. That's hormones and parts and everything.
These people do everything to help you make a baby. I feel like we're in really capable hands now. They're doing all the things I thought should have been done BEFORE we tried everything. At least we're doing them now. It totally feels like we dicked around for four months, though, and we should have gone to a reproductive endocrinologist to begin with.
However, when you're dealing with someone who is ostensibly young and healthy, they generally suggest you just go for it. Plus so many people we know just bought their sperm and did their insems and in one or two cycles - bingo, bango, bongo - baby!

I feel a little bit like we're at square one, but also like we're in super capable hands. Hooray for that.

Regardless of how capable the hands are, there's still the reality that using frozen sperm only gives you a 12% chance of getting pregnant each time you try. Those odds are kinda crappy. Not that live sperm is much better, but at least it is 20%.

This is gonna cost us a lot of money, but it is going to be super worth it. 

Fingers crossed!
