IVF assessment

by on Jul.19, 2010, under IVf

Wow that was good! We had our IVF assessment tonight and it was really good.

We got there quite early and everyone was so nice, I don’t like hospitals at the best of times but this was fine :)

The chap who saw us was very informative and went over all Liz’s prior surgery, I didn’t realise she has had 3 laprascophys already he did want to do another one and clamp Liz’s tubes as he read her notes wrong! It was a relief to hear only 1 tube was blocked and she doesn’t have Hydrosalpinx like he thought…. Liz looked a bit worried when he mentioned that :) She does have some fibroids but only in the muscle so they should be ok. I guess the endo will be the biggest obsticle but the fact Liz has had 2 baby’s and 2 miscarriages is positive apparently even after 7 years of no success :(

I had to give a blood sample and the big baby that I am didn’t enjoy it at all. All in a good cause though, I was going to ask for a Cholesterol check on it at the same time, get my moneys worth :) I now have an appointment for a seaman sample 2 weeks tomorrow, I had one in 2008 and the result was excellent so I hope that is still the case :) Me and Liz then have to go back on the 20th from a group session to answer some questions we have hopefully :) Liz cant give her blood sample till the end of august as we are on holiday during her period this month :(

I really hope this IVF works.

We also had all the costs of the IVF pointed out and the extra hours we have put in to work should cover this :)

We have a few IVF leaflets to read through and I guess I can get all my results sorted before Liz has to start her test’s/drugs.

We think they are going to start an IVF cycle for real in September time so if it works that would be a summer 2011 baby, if only :)

I took a few pics of our trip tonight and I will upload them with my post tomorrow, just wanted to get something in writing before my brain turns to jelly tonight :)

Thanks for reading

Max
