Ok girls although hubby and I are not in the financial position of private Fertility treatment either finance wise or done with the NHS we had decided to go for an initial private appointment. The reasons we did this was basically to see uf the advice would be any different from the NHS dr as I feel that we are cinstraned by departments and budgets etc. i wanted to make sure that we hadnt missed a trick due to money basically.
The appointment was 35 mins late which really annoyed me actually. Paying £150 for the priveledge I expected better service (dream on Laura). Anyway the women was lovely I went through everything that has happened and all my previous treatments of clomid, letrazole, 3 shots of menopur and my low AMH. She was impressed by all my knowledge.
She agreed with the other dr that it would appear as though my pituitry gland has just shut down. When asked why she said this can just happen. She aaid no to it being weight related and stress. The AMH level of 5.9 didnt seem to worry her (did me). She did agree that if the 3 shots of menopur I had last week started ovary growth that it was positive and that they should have continued with more shots. This was a busget/legislation thing.
Low and behold she says ovulation induction with menopur injections is definetly the way to go. She said she would be optimistic it would work for me. IVF not being the best option at least yet.
So happy to hear that really as this is the process Im getting with the NHS come June anyway! So we said thank you keep is on file and that we were going to go with the NHS fitst. So my mind is at rest really. If in the future we need to go back private we can but the NHS is worth atry and in the grand scheme of things 3 to 4 months is waitable I guess to avoid big debts. Ill be near my summer hols by then so relaxed. I just need to enjoy my new house till then! So in short Ive got a wait but a hopeful wait I think!
