Health / Re: Anyone Trying IVF/IUI/ICSI (Fertility Treatments)? by lahyoh24(f): 6:49pm On Mar 25, 2015

[b]Part 2

After 7 IUIs hubby and myself decided to take a breather and try to figure out what the heck was wrong. In between taking that breather we baby danced like crazy but nothing happened. 2 years ago we went back to my ob/gyn and she decided to put me on a monitored clomid cycle for 6 months because according to her, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to get pregnant. So, hubby and I went back to baby dancing again like crazy. At first, he was very happy but then after like the 3rd month, he said he was begining to feel like a "piece of meat"  grin It didn't matter what he was doing, if my OPK says it's time, he better be ready!

6 months of the clomid cycle and I was done! I was tired and I told hubby that maybe God did not want this to happen. In the meantime, I had gotten this fantastic job and my insurance was the best. It covered IVF treatment 100% plus medication. All i pay for is $5 which is my co-pay.

January of this year, i decided to go online and start researching other fertility clinics. I saw 2 that looked very promising based on their IVF success rates. Hubby and I prayed over it and we decided to try the one closer to my job. On our very first consultation visit, we fell in love with my now RE. She asked a whole bunch of questions no other doctor had asked, she listened to us, and she ordered a whole bunch of tests under the sun before she would tell us if IVF is the right path to take.

Well, guess what? I had a HSG scheduled and i actually watched the whole process on a big screen they had in the room. I saw my tubes and saw what my problem was. Right there on the screen, we all saw the HSG dye stop moving as it moved up my tubes and then I had that horrible pain again. Turns out that both my tubes were totally and completely blocked and i also had hydro on top of it. The RE looked at hubby and myself and said, "thats why the IUIs and Clomid cycle failed. Your eggs are not coming down into the uterus" . my husband was going crazy by this time thinking of all the money we spent at the other clinic and so was i. After I got cleaned up and we were back in the consultation room, I asked the doc so what now? and he said IVF was my only route right now to have a baby but even before the IVF I needed to have surgery to either cautherize the section of my damaged tubes or ties them off because i had hydro leaking into my uterus and even if the IVF is a success at implatation stage, the hydro might kill the embryo.

Hubby and I went home, talked about what we had learnt, re-watched the HSG again (the clinic always gives the patient a copy of their procedure on a disc) and decided to have bothe tubes taken out completely because frankly speaking, they are not doing anything for me anymore.

In the last part of this story of my journey, I will talk about my surgery and finally the begining of my medications.[/b]



please know that you inspire me and i know that it is never to late for God. My aunt gave birth to her baby girl last year after 23years of waiting, with no husband and 1tube almost gone too and more than 5 surgeries and Gpd knws awmany ivf BUT it did happen and shes happy. Saving up for baby no 2 now via ivf n donor. My God is wih u becos i have seen how he uses you to help many women on these forum u shld be proud

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Started from page 1 to 50+ before jumping to 100+ and with all the stories, watching Gods work manifest and how the devil have tried. The singlets to twins n triplets. The different options i can get. Knowing how long i can decide to try for and with all these army of angels, i believe i am in good hands.
i have been very silent, trying to figure out all of the story. From @psalm23 who started it n @blendy77 who pioneered the strength and so many other wonderful women and the ma, who took charge of everyfin like my hubby would.
i have been ttc 15months, seems too soon to be worried to many people around me. My Dr wants us to wait till august before we move on but i am very sure by then i have all my questions figured out. Blocked tubes got nothing on me and definitely not the cyst.

i pray that all the preggos deliver safely and all in the 2ww get their BFP and for us still waiting to decide which route i wish us all baby dusts. I am indeed inspired, i started talking abt my infertily on my blog few weeks ago to help educate pple and inspire women and also feel good about myself too www.madekreations.com and i must say this is the best forum so far, i will sure tell people about this. Warm welcomes pls wink
