First Visit

Will and I made the decision to use fertility treatments 2 years ago.  Because of Will's back injury, he does not ejaculate at all, making it impossible for us to conceive naturally.  We have researched and made the decision to go with IVF before ever visiting the doctor.  Well, last week we decided to finally start the process.  We went on Thursday for our consultation.  The doctor asked us a ton of questions (which I only knew the answers to about half!) and ran lots of tests on me.  Everything looks good on my side.  They took about 8 tubes of blood from Will to test his testosterone levels and check for diseases.  We also have to make and appointment with the urologist to get a sperm aspiration and check his sperm count and quality.  I go back in 3 or so weeks to get an HSG (blog more about that later).  It is going to be a long journey, I'll keep you posted!!

Here is a picture of us at our first appointment :)
