IF testing and treatment w/o 7/15

Re: IF testing and treatment w/o 7/15

  • @begging4abump I second Jennifer in looking at second opinions. They can request your records from this doc and review everything and consult. Any reason why IUIs wouldn’t be tried prior to IVF if you have good sperm??

    @emeraldduchess you’re right, it’s not the first time. I just kept hoping that each time was the last time I’d have to go to a RE, and then I think, “well it’s just once more, I can put up with it.” Edited for grammar
    @jennifer_louise yes, I’m sure there are plenty of other options. I just need to start checking around to see who is available and associated with my insurance. 
    @chichiphin I thought about iui later and wondered why he hadn’t mentioned it, but I think it’s moot because I think mh is opposed. At least he was the last time we talked through it. Just getting the sa was a big-to-do, so I don’t see mh getting on board.

    I think my plan is to allow some wallowing today and make a plan this weekend.

  • @begging4abump can I ask why YH is against IUI?

  • Zero judgement from me @begging4abump! I know MH is against ever knowing the gender of embryos if we have to do IVF, so I get it in a very minor way. I’m glad Wabash can point you to someone who might offer some support in that area

  • @mokay19 I’m glad it went well and hope the pathology report comes back clean!
    @bobbyflies2020 Good luck with your camp. Hope the temps are decent if you are outside. Woohoo for good genes.

    It was 100 out today. Went to see a friend near the shore area today and it took forever to get there. Luckily they had a pool and shade. It also was a decent drive home. I have been so ragey towards DH this weekend for his disrespect towards my time and plans, so I’m glad today ended on a more positive note.

  • @emeraldduchess I’m sure you feel relieved and also frustrated at the same time. I hope you get your progesterone fast and that it works.

    Thanks, @NYTino24.  As much as I would like answers, I am relieved to rule out so much. I hope I won't need blood work again for a while.  This month alone they've taken 11 vials in 3 weeks.  My arms are quite bruised and sore!  
  • @emeraldduchess honestly, now that you mention it, I don’t know. I would assume it’s “no news is good news” but I don’t know when that timeframe passes. I have a post-op scheduled for 2 weeks from Monday so maybe I’ll hear then... good question though! I’ll have to ask DH if she said something while I was still loooooopy.

    @begging4abump I agree with others about getting a second opinion. I did three rounds of Clomid with IUI before we found out that I had endometriosis. Once my RE found the endo she told me she was switching me to Letrozole because the increased estrogen from Clomid just exacerbates the endo even more and endo patients tend to have more success with Letrozole.
