Consultation Update - Infertility Message Board

Brownie110 · 06-28-2007, 08:32 AM

Thank you all for your responses....me and DH went to the RE which we thought was our IVF consultation....but basically we (again) just sat with a different Dr. and discussed my case.....We told the Dr. that we were thinking of doing the IVF in October..(after our cruise)...he then said since we are thinking about October...there is no need right this early to have IVF consultation (thats not what the nurses said) anywho 2 out of 3 Dr.s (same practice) suggested that since we are waiting till October for the IVF...that I should get a Laproscopy (had one in 05)to remove the endo that came back and to clear my tube, try IUI for 2 months and see what happens...then move on to IVF....which makes sense...the first Dr. said go right to IVF...cause of his counts and my FSH high (16).....So I think Im going to do the Laproscopy which in turn will up my % a little to get pregnant .....Also from all the advice that I got on here for Acupunture.....I asked the Dr. about it...and he right away gave me a Dr. they use (he even used him)....so Next week I have my evaluation.....Thanks for listening

Hi Brownie,

It sounds like you have a good plan ahead of you. I also am in a waiting pattern to start IVF, not until January, and was wondering if there was anything to keep myself busy w/until then. I was also considering acupuncture, as there is a facility in the same building as my RE. I would love to hear any updates on what they tell you, especially if starting acupuncture ahead of time increases your odds or anything. I wish you good luck on your journey, and hopefully the IUI's will bring success and you don't have to move onto IVF!

Christin

HI Brownie! It sounds like we have a game plan going! That is great news, cherie!! So when do you go in for the Laproscopy? And we're always here to listen and support!! Keep us posted! *****BABY DUST*****
LOL, I just posted that exact same post on the other thread replying to you. An dthen I found this one!! But in all seriousness, this really does sound like we have a game plan! I hope the IUIs work, or good old fashioned BDing!

Christin, definitely think seriousnly about acupuncture, that is my advice. I'm using it right now, and it's AMAZING. it hasn't done much for my fertility yet, but I've only done it for about three weeks. But where it's done here, they had a study , and by the end of it 56/57 IF women were pg in a YEAR. And they had undergone IVF treatments (one had 3+ treatments!) and IUIs! even if you just go for the relaxation, it really helps keep you calm and focused, we all know that relaxation is the best way to kill stress!

Dr. told me t hat I would be getting the Laproscopy during the first 2 weeks of AF.....(which Im due on sun) so Im assuming within the next couple of weeks.. I cant wait to hear what this acupucturist has to say....Im willing to try anything at this point....the only downfall...is my insurance company doesnt pay....they want $80 a session

ooh, too bad your insurance won't pay. Mayb eif you just did one session a week, it could work out. Or check around for other ones in our area. Or other alternative treatments, like reiki...ther ewas one woman on this board who got pg and has a 7 month old girl righ tnow who suffered from IF and attributed a lot of her success to reiki. I'm looking into western meds as well as alternative as well.....just to cover all my bases *****BABY DUST******
