The results

So today I went and saw my Doctor to go over our test results. I am just going to warn you that to explain what I was told there might be uncomfortable ( after all of this I am totally used to it!) So it turns out that my testing came out good. From what he ran he does not see any problems. With Aaron's testing (seaman analysis) it came back showing that he has a low sperm count. The Doctor said that this could be an isolated thing so they are going to run the test again and see what the next set shows.
He explained to me that if it comes back that it is still low then they can do what it called an IUI or Intrauterine Insemination. I will not go into details but if you want to know more here is a great link that I found! So we are again waiting on the results of Aaron's next test result. And from there we were make the next round of decisions.
As I was researching about IUI I came across The National Infertility Association website and there was a wonderful article on what to tell family and friends and Infertility Etiquette when you are dealing with infertility. I thought it has some wonderful information and is very useful if you know anyone that is dealing with what we are. We are sure grateful for those of you who are concerned and ask how we are doing. It seems difficult to talk about it, but I always feel a million times better once I do. I am truly amazed at the wonderful doctors that we have and the medicine that is able to fix so many infertility issues. We are truly blessed to live in such a time.

Thank you so much for all those links! I read every one of them and they were very helpful. I know we're not super great friends (yet!) but please do let me know if there is anything I can do.

From my experience, IUI's are a lot cheaper and less stressful then the next option, IVF. Hoepfully your insurance is able to help out. Good luck! I'm so glad you're talking about this because I'm starting to (It's hard).
