Ok so I know I intro'ed then didn't post again, so...Hi! I haven't even been posting on GKU cuz we've been OOT the last couple weekends, busy during the week, just...gah, nonstop! But anyway...just wondering if anyone has any experience....
1. So H is on a combo Lexapro and Seroquel. Per Dr. Google, these really shouldn't have much affect on sperm quality but I think I saw something about affecting motility? Just...ya know...anecdotal stuff if anyone else has an H on SSRIs or antipsychotics lol. He had his psych appointment this morning and it was the one.fucking.thing he forgot to ask! He never writes down his shit so I was impressed that he actually asked his dr the rest of his questions but this was the one I, of course, was waiting on. We've been TTC for 11 months now and I'm pretty sure I can chalk it up to bad timing and all, but ya know, just one more piece I guess.
2. Also, I need to get back into therapy. I definitely like talking through how to work through my anxiety and anger and I know that getting back to a therapist will help; however, NOW, I'm dealing with DS, whereas before, we didn't have kids so it was a non issue. So, for those of you with kids, when do you see your doctors? DH's work schedule is unpredictable so it would be hard to do evening appointments (if I could even find a dr that does them); I work three days a week, but the other two I don't have childcare or anything. Do you hire a sitter? Are there therapists out there that allow kids? Would that be counter productive? Ah, so many questions lol.
And here's cats in hats as a thank you
