OK, SO AFTER GIVING IT SOME THOUGHT, DAWN AND I DECIDED THAT I SHOULD GO VISIT WITH AN RE FOR A CONSULT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT ALOT OF YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO DO THE SAME SO I AM FOLLOWING SUIT. MY FIRST APPOINTMENT IS ON 9/17 AT Center for Women’s Reproductive Care OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. I AM VERY EXCITED BUT VERY SCARED TOO. I KNOW I HAVE DAVID AND FOR THE MOST PART I HAD A REALLY GOOD PREGNANCY/DELIVERY WITH HIM BUT I DID HAVE SOME "ISSUES" BEFORE AND AFTER HIM... SO EVEN IF WE DECIDE TO TRY AT HOME ICIs ONLY, AT LEAST I CAN PUT MY MIND AT EASE THAT THOSE ISSUES HAVE NOT LEFT ANY PERMANENT DAMAGE IF I GET THE ALL CLEAR FROM AN RE. THAT BEING SAID - WE HAVE RECENTLY BEGUN DISCUSSING FOREGOING AT HOME TRIES AND JUST DOING IN OFFICE IUIs - RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY TRY AT HOME ONCE AND THEN IF NEED BE IN OFFICE IUIs.
THE CWRC SEEMS TO BE VERY GLBT FRIENDLY & EXPERIENCED (we'll see how much so after my consult), THEY TAKE MY INSURANCE (my insurance does cover IUI, meds, diagnostic testing etc...), THEY GAVE ME AN ALMOST IMMEDIATE APPOINTMENT (which is impossible to get form a specialist), THEY ANSWERED MY E-MAIL INQUIRY WITHIN 24HRS (it was an anonymous question about their experiences with families like ours)AND SENT ME A WELCOME/INFO PACKET WHICH I RECEIVED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF CALLING THEM (alot of paperwork that I am not certain I filledout right). I AM FEELING VERY POSITIVE ABOUT MY VISIT WITH THEM. ON THE DOWN SIDE NEW PATIENT CONSULTS ARE ONLY DURING THE DAY AND DAWN WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT - SO I WILL BE FLYING SOLO ON THIS - BUT EVERY APPT AFTER CAN BE MADE FOR LATER IN THE DAY WHEN SHE CAN MAKE IT SO... GLASS HALF FULL.
****UPDATE - I RESCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT FOR 9/30 WHEN DAWN IS OFF FROM WORK AND CAN COME WITH ME -THIS MAKES ME VERRRRY HAPPY AND LESS SCARED.
