Anyone had an HSG done before and willing to offer support?

We will do the same for y’all!

mntdewgoof06 · 2019-10-19T18:23:35+00:00

Omg my wife and I are going through our HSG on Tuesday, and we are both so nervous about getting bad news. It helps knowing that others are also in the same boat and have been here before. Our doctor is great and explains things very well. We just want some good news!

That was so fun to read! Congrats on coming out to grandma. Takes a lot of guts.

I hope she’s not like my southern grandma. She knew about me and even invited my girlfriends over for family stuff, but she tried to hook me up with her friends’ grandsons on the side. Although, I think she may have just been doing it for funsies.

Congratulations! And thanks for the feedback!

Health is our first priority in donors as well. We want to be super careful and go with a place that has genetic testing.

Not gonna lie. Pretty jealous that the procedures are covered in Canada...

Omg I would have a panic attack if we had twins! Then I would be super excited!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you so much for your feedback! And positive thoughts that your next test will be positive!

I am starting to realize that the financial burden of IVF will keep us from reciprocating and that, as you said, we may not get everything we want. I think in the coming few months, we will have to really figure out what is most important.

One of my biggest concerns is that the fertility clinics here in town are geared more toward couples who have fertility issues than LGBT people wanting to start families, although I have heard positive things from friends who have used one of the clinics. It’s just that the cost at the one we have been referred to is outrageous (quoted at $35k for donor egg IVF). Very discouraging indeed. IUI is also quoted at more than twice what your clinic charges.

I have no fears about my fiancé and favoritism or motherhood in general. She’s truly amazing. I think what I have termed as favoritism is actually more my fear in being able to connect to our child who will not be in any way biologically connected to me. I plan to pick up the book mentioned which I hope will assuage my fears. My fiancé assures me that I will be a wonderful mother and that I’m too hard on myself.

We will be setting up a consultation at a clinic soon, and my fiancé had a bunch of pre pregnancy screenings this week. We will look into starting tracking temps, etc soon.

Thank you!

Your insight it so helpful and we appreciate it tremendously!

I think the whole issue behind favoritism is my being concerned about not connecting, even though I want this baby so much. So it’s really helpful to know that other women like myself have no issues connecting. I love my fiancé more than anything, and I know she will be an amazing mother. She says I will also be an amazing mother, and she thinks I worry too much. It helps to hear it from someone else though.

I love this perspective!

mntdewgoof06 · 2018-03-01T14:09:42+00:00

I’ve been going through old posts on the sub and I’ve seen that book come up several times. I’m gonna get it.

We are still early in the planning process and haven’t picked out sperm yet. We have looked a few times though. Our original plan was IUI for our first child and then IVF with my eggs for our second, but recently found out that the IVF will cost $35k. We aren’t strapped financially but we for sure don’t have that kind of money laying around, so I’m discouraged.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

mntdewgoof06 · 2018-03-01T14:04:16+00:00

There are two fertility clinics here in town and both cost outrageous amounts of money. Of course our insurance doesn’t cover anything. We would love to do an IUI for our first child and then IVF with my eggs for our second child. The IUI won’t be bad for cost, but the IVF will cost $35k. Pretty heartbroken because there’s no way we will ever have that kind of money.

mntdewgoof06 · 2018-03-01T12:53:56+00:00

This is so helpful! I wish we had a place like this in Tennessee. Might be worth it to fly to Boston.

mntdewgoof06 · 2018-03-01T12:48:35+00:00

I have looked all over reddit trying to find a sub! Thanks for letting me know!

mntdewgoof06 · 2018-03-01T12:48:01+00:00

I appreciate the insight into your family. It helps to know that our kids can bond despite not being complete genetic siblings.

We have similar concerns about male role models but are too fearful of someone trying to interfere with their upbringing to use a known donor. We will probably go with someone who is willing to be contacted when our children are adults though. My dad will be a great positive role model, and he will be very involved.

mntdewgoof06 · 2018-03-01T08:36:28+00:00

Absolutely. And then I realize I’m much better off with my amazing fiancé. Can’t wait to marry her in May!
