Operation Dan

Ok, so the last IUI didn't work. Hates it. On to the next plan. I put together our list of options: adopt, another round of IUI, start saving for IVF, quit OR Dan gets surgery to correct the blockage that causes the infertility. After some thought....and sage advice from my friend Rachel...we decided to look into surgery. After all, it can do nothing but help...we open up the possibility of conceiving naturally! But they say it takes up to a year to completely restore sperm production...and we don't have the luxury of time because we are old, blah, blah, blah....So good and bad. I asked Dan to call the clinic to get a quote for the surgery. Last time we checked it was $7,000 out of pocket. So Dan calls and finds out it will cost $650 out of pocket. WHAT? WHY? HOW? Don't ask questions....we don't know. Dan changed his health insurance plan this year so we think they cover it now?! It's the first piece of good news we have ever received throughout this process. I'm still waiting for them to tell us they misquoted. But I'm putting that in the back of my mind for now. So Dan is scheduled to go under the knife on October 21. Please pray for him and the Doctor performing the surgery. The procedure is called a vasoepididymostomy. Google it. Sounds delicious, doesn't it??? Stay tuned....
