Morning ladies
Okay yesterday myself and hubby went for our private consultation at Harley Street. I have had the majority of my tests done, ie all bloods, AMH, scan and my hubby has had 3 seman samples. (2 NHS) and 1 private.
Basically in a nut shell there is no reason why we cannot have a baby and no reason as to why we have not conceived over the last 2.5 years. My scans are clear, my periods are regular (over the last 2.5 years every 25/26 days) my AMH show a high egg reserve as does my scan and my bloods/scan show that I ovulate. I know I ovulate becuase this month I got a strong line.
Hubbys seman samples are fine. We were worried as the NHS ones showed poor morthology but last night they said that the NHS still go by the old WHO standards and not the new updated ones. In any event there is nothing wrong with his swimmers.
So what next?? Basically we can carry on and keep trying, or she basically said that we can start IVF in January. She did not recommend IUI (as she said the sucess rate is so low) or ICSI (as there is nothing wrong with hubby's swimmers)
Problem is that IVF is so expensive, so do we just go with it and take out a loan, or do we just keep trying! She did say that IVF sucess rate is 50/50. I think the frustration with all of this is that there is nothing wrong with either of us so it could happen next month but after 2.5 years clearly something is not clicking. I am nearly 32 and hubby is 34. We said we would sleep on it and have a good think about things over the weekend.
So there you go... we keep on trying or IVF! I should tell you that we are also going for our first referel on the NHS next week so it will be interesting to see what they say, but needless to say it will certainly give us somehting to think about over the weekend.
Have a good one girls
