I was finally able to schedule an initial consultation with the recommended RE, Dr. H!! :) ...I was reassured that they are, in fact, the only RE in Small Town, TN that openly & happily sees LGBT patients. I wasn't at all surprised by this & you know what? I am happy they are the only ones, because that means they know what they are doing and they are good at it!! When she asked about the sperm donor or if we had any donors in mind from a bank, I told her again that we would really really like to use our KD, even knowing it could be a longer process & there are quite a few hoops to jump through...she said they are more than willing to go that route if that is what we want to do. She was sure to tell me again some of the cryobanks they are very familiar with just to have an idea of what all is out there. I appreciate her being thorough & wanting to make sure we are ready for the June appointment. Of course, I have had a list of questions to ask on our first appointment for over a month.
What I am REALLY hoping for is to get some insight (or at least a blessing of sorts) for 'at-home' inseminations.
**I am open to any an all suggestions on what we need to ask and anything maybe you thought of after your first appointments that you wish you knew?**
OPKs & BBT thermometer came in the mail, buy in bulk save dollars (in this case at least)...So I am ready to wake up every morning to that alert on my phone telling me to chart!! I also started taking prenatals last night. To my surprise they really aren't that big. I have always read about them being way too big to even bother taking, but I had no problem! Cool :)
Also, another CD1 should be in a few days. I sure do have the PMS crankiness to prove that. I can't wait to see what for real BBT temps will do as opposed to a regular thermometer.
I have my follow up appointment with my PCP about my under active thyroid issues, or lack there of. This appointment will be the judge of that! Fingers crossed it can all be easily taken care of, whatever the outcome.
I am beyond ready to get this ball rolling. A baby really is the only thing missing from my life. I have the perfect girl, perfect family, perfect friends, all we need is one little squishy, pooping, crying, bouncy baby to complete this perfect life!!
Baby Dust :)
So here we are...over a year later.
