We’re doing it. IVF.
Telis and I signed the paperwork for our health service sponsored treatment. At least our taxes are going towards something worthwhile for us. Thank you “free” healthcare.
I had another prolactin blood test this week, my results were higher than before. The doctor called to tell me she’s referring me to an endocrinologist as well as a breast doctor – cool. Except, in my medical file, she put “Fast track referral for suspected breast cancer”. What the fuck!
Breast cancer??? Suspected?? Why??!
I had one case of nipple discharge and higher prolactin levels than normal. To me, that equals infertility, not cancer!! Can’t believe I have to go through with it but I guess better safe than sorry.
Lord have mercy.
At the beginning of the week, we also spoke to a doctor from our fertility clinic about what went wrong with Telis‘ numbers. We found out his total sperm count was actually 30 million but literally only 0.06% of his sperm survived the washing process. We don’t know what that means about his sperm but they didn’t cope too well and most ended up being unhealthy or dying.
If out of 30 million, only 180 thousand were healthy it just makes you wonder what the hell has been going on inside me. Of course, I’m probably not without fault and have my own thing contributing to our infertility so the only logical step now is to just await our IVF treatment.
I can’t say I’m not excited though.
In other news, I’m starting a tutoring business. Hehe! I’ve put an ad online on a classified website but it’s yet to garner any interest. I think I need to work on my marketing either way. I always seem to come back to teaching. It may be my calling – I love it. I’m thinking about starting with 1 to 1 tuitions in WordPress website development and then maybe branching out to craft tutorials, like I did with my YouTube channel, but in person.
I want Telis and I to be able to be that little bit richer so we can afford things quicker, like a mansion.
I’m definitely charging a very reasonable price because not only are they gaining knowledge but they’re also getting a fully functional website at the end of it, and websites cost a lot, so I’m definitely a cheap alternative. I just don’t know where people go to look for in-person tutors. That’s probably research for this weekend.
I guess I better get back to my shitty life.
Caio!
