I sit here as I patiently wait for B to have his TESE procedure. At 7:50am Dr. Pollard walked by. It’s quiet and lonely. The thing I like least currently is lack of communication, that is always my biggest peeve within healthcare. We have never done this before so communicate what this will look like the day of. Don’t just assume we know.

We arrived at 7:15am as instructed. The doors were locked and no one was around. Thankfully, a nurse saw us and said I’ll let them know you are here. Another nurse came out and took B and said okay wait here to me. That was it. I’m not too worried as out of all the procedures B has had in our time together I believe this one is the least invasive.

I think being in the healthcare field myself is why I end up disappointed with expectations. You cannot expect you from others. I give my patients timelines and expectations. Since our appointment last Monday I have heard nothing regarding my next steps and I’m suppose to be starting medication potentially on Monday. It doesn’t make sense to me. I figure depending on today’s outcome will determine how they would like to proceed. If anything I will reach out tomorrow. I think a week and a half is patient enough especially if I reportedly will start injections with this coming cycle in approximately a week and a half.

As of 8:30am his procedure is finished. The doctor said he has good looking, moving sperm! So exciting to hear! This doctor stated we should have an update today or tomorrow regarding how many vials they will freeze. My assumption is only one vial would need to be thawed any time eggs needed to be fertilized. I also believe a semen analysis actually gets to be performed and we’ll have additional insights. One weight off my shoulders for now.
