Double whammy

Well, we finally sort of got the results of J's semen analysis. (He talked to one of the nurses from his doctor's office on the phone, but he didn't take any notes so he doesn't remember what all she said.) It looks like he's got a low sperm count and poor morphology (I think that's what he said). He's picking up a copy of the results from his doctor's office tomorrow. But in the meantime, I'm three weeks into my cycle and not showing any signs of ovulation. I'm not quite sure what that means, other than reinforcing my previous opinion that me ovulating last cycle was a fluke.

When you add those two things together, I think it spells big trouble. I won't know anything else until we get a copy of the SA results to my doctor and I talk to her again, but I would imagine that she's going to refer us to a specialist.

So much for being pregnant before I turn 30...

As an aside...

I have a history with Magic 8 balls. A Magic 8 ball partially led to me dating my first love, and they have been eerily right about me about other things in the past. Now the Magic 8 ball that I keep on my desk at work (the one that helps me make the tough decisions) has told me that I'm not going to get pregnant on my own, but that Clomid will work for me. I guess we'll wait and see...

04-23-09 ultrasound results

My doctor called on Thursday afternoon with the ultrasound results, and the first thing she asked was whether I had had a period since the ultrasound. When I told her yes, she said that was good, because the lining of my uterus had been really thick and it would have been worrisome if I hadn't. She said that other than that, everything looked good.

So...now we wait. J finally got the referral he needs to get his swimmers checked out, and hopefully he'll be able to take care of that this week. After we get the results from that, I'll get back in touch with my doctor to regroup and figure out what else, if anything, we can do now, and what we'll have to wait until next month to do. I don't know if the fact that I had a real cycle means that my body is finally starting to do what it's supposed to do, or if it's a fluke. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens over the next few weeks!

That's pretty much all I know. J and I went to St. Louis this weekend to hang out with some friends. It was totally a baby-filled weekend...the friends that we primarily went to see are expecting their first baby (a boy) at the end of June. Another set of friends that we saw have a 9-month-old girl. My best friend checked in to her hospital tonight to be induced, and is expecting to have her first baby (a boy) sometime tomorrow. (She and her husband are in Texas, though, so we didn't see them this weekend.) I'm looking forward to going down there in a couple of weeks, so I can see them and help her out. J and I also went to dinner with my mom and my brother last night, which was good. All in all, it was a good weekend.

And now I need to go check on the stuff in the dryer, so I'm going to bid all of you good night!
