Sorry for disappearing ladies, guess I wasnt as over the miscarriage as I thought I was. Found at at yesterdays FS appt that our baby was a little girl
No chromosomal abnormalities which is good I guess, but no real answers.
We changed drs at our clinic which has been a godsend. Mike Aitken is my obs and we decided to switch to him as our FS as well, and can I say just how wonderful it is to have someone speak to you as an equal and answer your questions without playing the DR card 'I know more than you'! We ended up with an hour + consult, and went over absolutely everything in our history, the miscarriage, different ivf protocols etc. He is sympathetic about the IVF medicare issue and us being short on cash, so they are going to help us out with split billing so we can pay half, get our medicare rebate, and then pay the rest of it which is a huge help.
Am on the pill as of today, then when
AF arrives I am back in the game. Doing another orgalutran cycle with ICSI which I am happy with. Our biggest concern though is with Murrays sperm at the moment. His latest SA had 0% motility and his SCSA test came back with 35% dna damage which is 'very poor' according to his notes! Murray is understandably very upset over it all. Dr still wants to go with his sperm though and through icsi we think it should be okay, may have to result to tesa on the day though if he doesnt get a good enough specimen. Also on menevit which fingers crossed will help.
Cant believe we are going for #9. Also going down the adoption path concurrently (post over in the adoption section) which is a little crazy but I guess it helps give us hope that this isnt the end for us.
