It seems more fitting...last year everything baby that crossed my path just made me want one. All the cute baby clothes, nursery stuff, all those damn pottery barn kids catalogs and the sight of all our friend's little ones. Now it seems getting this baby is going to be like a science fair project with me as the main subject. As noted before, PCOS seems to be to blame on my end. Had the HSG and that was all clear (finally good news! and it really didn't hurt as much as I was thinking). My husband repeated his SA, much higher sperm count (tho still a bit lower than normal) but still less than 1% are good. This weeks tests include blood sugar and Jewish genetic disorders for me and hormone levels for him. Though non-practicing my family is from eastern Europe and if I'm a carrier dh will be tested because his has Jewish heritage too...funny that he is Greek orthodox. He is half Greek and half polish, I am Hungarian, Lithuanian and German...our kids are pretty much guaranteed dark hair and have a small chance of getting my blue eyes. If I was Greek we would be tested for Greek genetic disorders, this is all due to family marring family back in the day. Read Middlesex (an Oprah book club book), very good book about what inbreeding can do. I'm not too worried about this but if we move forward with IVF and we are both carriers for certain genes they will do tests on the embryos. When these test results come back we will decide how to move forward. Until then I am awaiting AF but since I didn't O this cycle not sure when she will show...if I get to 42 days I can take progesterone to start.
Now, doesn't this sound like a science fair project more than baby making?
