First off - thanks for the comments and reinforcement that I'm not crazy.
So we had the much anticipated appointment with Dr 2 yesterday. (anyone who has already been subjected to the vent on this may want to skip this blog entry) What a waste! First off, we didn't get called back until a half hour after our scheduled appointment and the nurse followed that up with asking why we were there. Didn't we discuss coordinate things with Dr RE's office? WTF?!? Not like DH didn't specify that when he made the appointment. There is a surgery involved - shouldn't it be expected that we'd want to discuss the details with the person performing the procedure?
So... a little over a half hour after that, the Dr actually came in and we had a semi-useless 5-10 minute conversation in the exam room. Granted we were irritated by the wait, but it just didn't feel like he was really listening to our questions. I guess I'm spoiled by our RE - it may be hard to talk to him in person, but at least the office is pretty good about answering voicemails.
It was a really disappointing visit and if Dr RE hadn't said that this was the Dr we should see (unless we wanted to go to NY), I think we'd be going to the University Clinic out of town. I've still considered that, but I'm tired of the waiting and uncertainty.
Anyway, I called Dr RE today to ask a couple last questions and ask how to handle getting the procedure scheduled, but he was out. That means tomorrow is the day. I'll have to make a decision and it is scaring the crap out of me. I'm so afraid of doing the wrong thing, even though we won't know what we should have done until this is all over. Hopefully, Dr RE will help validate our decision tomorrow.
At any rate, I hope we can get things scheduled soon and I hope the Drs find what we need. Please work, please work, please work.

I'm sorry your appointment didn't go as well as you had hoped. I also hope that your doctors can come up with an appropriate gameplan for you and that everything works out in the end. Chin up! I'm looking forward to your update.
Thanks :-) DrC called back at the end of the day yesterday and pretty much said we have to make the decision that's right for us. It's true, just not what I wanted to hear. The decision not to do a concombinant IVF cycle is smart with the odds we have and I think it will be best emotionally.
DrC said he'd let the andrologist at the clinic know we're ready to get going so hopefully we can at least get things scheduled early this week. The andrologist has to coordinate his schedule with another Dr, but I guess we can hope neither of them are planning extended summer vacations anytime soon.
