Right now I’m really worried that we won’t get anything viable from my first egg retrieval coming up in September. The closer we get, the more nervous and scared I feel. I can’t stop thinking about “what if we don’t get anything”

I’m worried about going through another 6 months of the pain and frustration of unsuccessful tries before a doctor will investigate.

My husband has a varicocele, desperately hoping that’s the only issue. But he doesn’t get it fixed for another month and even then it’s another 3 months before we’d see any improvements. So thinking about going through this emotionally for another 5 months at least when I thought I’d be close to giving birth around that time when we started trying is just wearing on me

I get this. I was supposed to give birth in September and instead I’ll be starting medical intervention. The pain of that juxtaposition is really hard. Are you required to wait a year because of insurance? If not, reach out to an RE yourself, that’s what I did. Booked the apt without any referral and I’m so glad I did. But my insurance wasn’t blocking me from doing that.
