Well...

Well, DH's urologist could only offer Dec 17th as an alternative if he can't make Dec 3rd so DH is going to try to move his Totonto meeting to the next week - which causes other issues but I guess that's life. I spoke to another RE about the situation and he felt that DHs hould have been on the parlodel, but he assumes that the urologist has his reasons for doing it this way. I just hope that the results show that it was worth the 3 month time investment!

Timing sucks!

It looks like DH will have to go to Toronto on Dec 3rd. He'll be gone until the weekend, I think. He'll also have to change his urologist appointment.

Check-up

I went to my nephrologist today. My kidney function is good but my cholesterol is up and they still can't give me anything since we're still TTC. They said that if I have to take fertility meds that it won't interact with my current meds or affect my kidney finction too much. They're going to get me some genetic counseling info from Brigham & Women's in Boston since we'll have to make that decision if we end up doing IVF. So all in all, pretty good!

Clomid it is...

DH started the clomid on Saturday. Thus far, no side affects. He wasn't supposed to drive during the first few days but I let him drive to church yesterday and to work today. So far, so good.

Who knows...

Still no movement with the 2 doctors. I think DH is just going to start the Clomid and if the urologist changes him to the medicine the RE wants him to take, it will be because the clomid isn't working...

Clomid vs. Parlodel

Agggrrrhhhh - this clomid vs. parlodel thing is driving us nuts. DH's urologist wants him to take the clomid and not the parlodel while the RE wants him on parlodel. DH just wants the two doctors to talk to each other and not through him. All of this is just delaying his treatment..

So Confused...

Our NJ-based RE called DH today. He was irritated that DH hadn't received his pardonel prescription yet - apparently he should have been taking it for a month by now. He sent a note to my OB/GYN to remind her to issue the prescription. He should have it by tomorrow. He'll then have to do a prolactin test mid-September to see if the levels have decreased. Basically, we should be all set once he starts taking the meds. He won't have to take the clomid as they both have the same result. Our RE was quite happy with my HSG result so it looks like the focus is on DH . I am so relieved. We may be able to do this without IVF after all! Fingers crossed that the pardonel will make a difference!. We'll talk to our RE next in September before we go to Italy. I hope we can get PG by year's end!
