Infertility doc appt

We went to the Center for Reproductive Medicine for our first consult today. Doctor is very nice, has lots of ideas. Going to check all of Garths hormone levels, not just testosterone like the other doctors have done. Then he can determine where things are going wrong, in his head or other areas. From that he most likely will be prescribed Clomid...its not just for girls! He said that increases testosterone and sperm whereas the injections Garth was getting was only for testosterone and actually can decrease sperm. He wants to see his levels 800-900 and not 200....maybe Garth will get some more energy finally! I am getting a hysterosalpingogram done in about 2 weeks just to make sure everything is clear for when we do get pregnant. We get all of those test results and then consult again. If it looks like Garth is a candidate for Clomid then he takes that and we recheck in 3 months. Maybe we can get away with no help or just insemination instead of IVF. Wouldnt that be nice?! And less expensive...

Our renter has not been able to close on the house in AL because hes been stuck in the driveway since Sunday with all the ice. Keeping our fingers crossed he was able to get out today and sign the papers so we can close by Tuesday next week.

As for the home we're buying here- there is some serious miscommunication going around. The underwriter says the apraisal was supposed to be done the 11th, our realtor has not been told anything (and shes supposed to be there for it!) and he has yet to verify for me whether it was done or not. And I defintely don't remember having to submit the amount of information 1 1/2 years ago for the other house that I have thus far for this one. It's insane! Hopefully we'll be in our own place by Valentines Day.

Garth also found out that despite his lapse in employment with USIC he was able to keep his vacation so he has 3 1/2 weeks of vacation this year which is wonderful!
