We had our first fertility doctor's visit on a Thursday. I was excited and nervous all at the same time. Luckily, I am familiar with the doctor and I love her, so that made things a bit easier. She was very positive and had a great plan.
Since my major issue, as far as we know is the lack of a monthly cycle and ovulation the doctor came up with a plan of progesterone and clomid. This is a pretty standard plan of action. She also said that my hubby needed to give a semen sample. She also shared that she had taken clomid as well.
The doctor went over the possible affects of the drug, which the major one is an increased chance for multiples. Which the possibility is only doubled from 4 to 5% up to 8-9%, so I'm ok with those odds. When we left the doctor said she was looking forward to a spring pregnancy.
I was on top of the world and so excited to get started. At this point it is the only way we are going to have a baby. With no ovulation I cannot get pregnant naturally.
The very next day all of my happiness and excitement was shattered when I found out that my insurance will not pay for anything and that we are going to have to pay out of pocket for everything. This was a huge shock. I was crushed. I had no clue how we were going to make this happen. I was at work and I ended up breaking down and bawling my eyes out.
In less then 24 hours I went from being on cloud 9 to having my world turned upside down. This is where our road to pregnancy got even longer and way more complicated.
Like anything else, I to would rise above this. . .
