Holy crap! We have a plan!
Gary and I met with Dr. Vandermolen at The Center for Fertility and Reproduction today. It was an all day event. We left the house at 8am for our 11am appt. I was afraid to be late! Ha! We got down to Shreveport plenty early, had breakfast at IHop and then headed over to the clinic. We got there super early and I thought it would be a good thing. Well... we were still sitting in the waiting room at noon. Note to self-- getting there early does us no good.
Dr. Vandermolen was a nice guy. Spent lots of time going over our medical history, current history and past tests/ procedures. We were armed with it all. :) I think he was a little surprised! Based on Gary's numbers he suggested that we do IVF with ICSI. Basically this the IVF where they inject the sperm right into the egg-- therefore increasing the chance for fertilizing (which is the goal).
So... it is a 6 week prep period which includes everything from blood work, birth control pills (regulate the hormones), daily injections, ultrasounds and eventually the egg retrieval. It really is all very amazing and this clinic has pretty standard success rates. I have done research and they are tied for 1st in success rates in the State of LA-- so that is good!
So... if all goes well... Baby Robinson will be here with us at this time next year! :)
