We just got done with our first appointment with Dr. Kaufmann!!
What started out to be a pretty good morning quickly took a turn:
We show up to the location that was on the buisness card I was given by my OB, we are a bit early so we sit outside and wait....David looks at the door and the name of the Dr on the door and Dr. Kaufmann's name is no where on there.....we start to worry! Once this office opens we walk in and I ask if Dr. Kaufmann was still at this location- he is NOT! Great!!! So we are trying to call his office to get directions and all I'm getting is an automated person telling me that I can leave a message....no option to talk to an actual human being! GREAT!! So I call my mom to look up on her computer his website to get his new address (we tried with our iPhones but it would never load) I plug in the new address into our GPS....and for some reason it still thinks I'm in GRANBURY!!! As I'm driving in the direction of his new office I have to turn off the GPS and turn it back on to see if it can now find me!! We finally make it to his new office...only about 12 min late....and if you know me I can not STAND to be anywhere late!!! So we get there and I'm pretty flustered...then comes all the paperwork! But once we got into the room I settled down and was fine!
I will say his staff was pretty quick and got us right into the consultation room! We were not even finished with the paperwork and here comes Dr. Kaufmann in to talk to us. We go over medical history and all that fun stuff....then into the exam room for a check of my ovaries and eggs and uterus! He did see that my egg count was not where a normal 28 year old should be....I have slightly less than normal but he was quick to say this is not that big of an issue and ordered some blood work on me to check more into it!
He talked about our options and really all depends on how the semen analysis comes back on David and such- He will be making his "donation" next week. Our Dr also got our consent forms so he can get all the test and notes on my previous exams and procedures as well as David's last semen analysis from our past Dr's. Our options would be IVF or IUI (insemination) this all depends on what the test come back as and if he thinks he can possibly give David something that may help his sperm count to get higher, this will determine the % rates on what IUI and IVF will be for us and from there we will make the decision.
We were given paperwork on both procedures and the cost and all this fun stuff.....so much information in a 2 hour time span that it is making my head spin!! LOL but I'm confident in Dr. Kaufmann- he has a great personality and bedside manner and he is certain that in the end we will have a baby!!!!
That is all of the update I have for now....kinda have to wait and see what all the test come back as, before we can make a good decision on what we are going to do!
