Follow Up July 7, 2004
I’ve just returned from my husband’s follow up appointment. The doctor went back over the results of his surgery and why the reconstruction was not possible. We found out that the sperm that was retrieved during the surgery and subsequently cryopreserved, was frozen in only 2 different tubules. The doctor said they can refreeze the sperm if there is some left over after using them for IVF/ICSI. I guess they wanted to make sure that there were enough good quality, motile sperm in each tubule.
The doctor ordered the blood tests that my husband will need before we start IVF. My hubby will have those done tomorrow, and we should be able to get the results sometime early next week. I’m glad my hubby will not have to have any more tests, surgeries, etc. after tomorrow, but that makes it official that we’re moving on to IVF. No more appointments with the urologist = no more chances that we can avoid the trying world of IVF.
I came home from the appointment and cried on the bed. It’s just hard. Then I treated myself to one of these for breakfast. Not so healthy, but definitely yummy.
My kitty still isn’t doing too well. We’ve been giving him his medicine (which he detests) but haven’t seen too much improvement in him. He still won’t eat. I hope he gets better soon. It hurts my heart to see him sick.
