Having trouble knocking her up? There can be many reasons for this, so don’t assign blame too quickly. If you have already made a gallant effort, it is probably time to go to the Obstetrician with your wife to get some answers. Chances are, the Obstetrician will in turn point you to a fertility center to determine exactly what is the problem. Our OB also suggested early on that we might want to freeze some of my wife’s eggs, in case we need them for fertility treatments. I have to say that, looking back, I am sorry that we didn’t do that at the time.
Tread carefully with the fertility clinics. These places usually don’t take insurance, and the bills can run into the tens of thousands. However, you can usually get a free (or close to it) consult. If you decide to go ahead, they will run tests on you and your lady to identify the most likely causes of your infertility. After that, it is on to hormone injections, IVF and donor eggs (and don’t forget about adoption), etc. Note that these treatments can cost anywhere between $5,000 – $100,000, so make sure you do your homework beforehand and know what you are getting into.
