I had my initial consultation yesterday. Discussed everything in detail with my doctor. Took alot of blood tests and did an ultrasound. My uterus and ovaries look great. I am eager to get started but I decided instead of trying next week when I'm scheduled to ovulate we are going to make sure I am ovulating like I'm supposed to and test my progesterone levels then do IUI my next cycle.
My doctor suggested that I speak with a therapist on how to handle questions from people and how to answer questions my child will have. I'm thinking about it. Has anyone done this, or how have you handled the discussion with your child at different ages. I'm fine with telling people about it, my concern is how to talk to a young child who doesn't understand when they ask why their friends have daddy's and he/she doesn't.

A couple helpful books that I'd recommend as well:
- Knock Yourself Up by Louise Sloan
- Choosing Single Motherhood by Mikki Morrissette
I also made an appointment with a therapist for next month to discuss how to answer questions, we already spoke on the phone for a bit so she knows exactly what I want to talk about. And maybe from there I may see her once or twice more to discuss anything else.
You guys can look me up on facebook and friend me if you'd like. Melissa Prestwood in Louisiana.
Thanks for all of the support :)
