While on the subject of doctors....

One of the contingencies my OB/GYN threw in to the whole thing was making sure that A was healthy as well. She told me that if it came to them having to do and IUI or IVF that it would be considered a donation from him, and they have to make sure he is healthy before moving forward.

Which, yes, it would be good to know.

But that required him going to see a doctor as well.

The physical happened in late May. With work being slow he’s gained weight, his cholesterol is high, and with the family history of migraines they wanted him to have that looked at. Oh, and there is apparently some cancer there somewhere as well, so looking at his skin is something that needs to be happening as well.

My beloved went from not going near a physician in as long as I have known him to now officially being treated by not just his MD, but also a neurologist, dermatologist, and almost a urologist. So, an MRI, CT, and 3 blood tests later we know that everything is where it needs to be, nothing is going to break, and he is healthy as an ox. We are both on a lean diet, cutting out red meat in favor of chicken breasts and fish, eating more veggies, and actually reading the fat content on everything we buy.

He still needs to meet his dermatologist in 1 week, but that should be a pretty simple appointment and neither of us is worried.

The things we are willing to do in order to help bring a healthy baby into this world….
