[aneageraussie]

when is your appointment coming up bobo? i hope u dnt need to go to the appointment and u get ur :BFP: this cycle...

 

[bobobaby]

My appointment is next Friday. Its just scheduled as an annual, and the nurse said I can talk to the Dr. about fertility issues then. Hopefully he'll take me seriously!! I'm going in with my charts and everything!

wishin2bmom, since you are in the US, did you have to get a referral to get a SA for you OH?? I have my OBGYN ppointment next Friday, but I want to make an appointment with a urologist for my DH's SA. But I'm not sure if I have to wait for a referral or if I can just go for it.

 

[aneageraussie]

exciting days coming for u too bobo.. and yes i am also going with all my charts and all to appointment.

I had to get a referral for the urologist after the SA results came back bad. It was faxed off today supposedly. So hopefully it won't take to long to get him in to check for any reasons as to why his SA's came back poorly.

I O in another 6 days bobo so not to to long after you. Good luck catching the eggy!

 

[wishn2Bmom]

we are actually going to a fertility clinic for the SA. I asked my gyno back when I was planning the surgery and stuff if I should get OH checked out as well. She said it wasn't needed just yet, but that she would give me the number of they place that does it for them if I wanted it. When DH called to make the appointment they asked him who referred him. He said no one, but they said they had a "standing referral" when they found out who my doc was. So..... I guess he did need a referral, but we didn't know that was what we had! haha

 

[wishn2Bmom]

Kelly~ how long did it take you to get the results of DH's SA results back?

It took a week both times. It's pretty fast!

Hi girls, I still haven't been to the Drs. office so don't have any more news yet. I'm a little worried as my lines are still very faint, but I guess we'll see in a few days time!


I saw that you were discussing the SA. My OB/GYN gave me the paperwork for hubby's SA. I'm not sure what it's like in your area, but you may have to go through the specialist. It only took a few days to get the results back. Good luck!

 

[bobobaby]

Hmmm, I think I'll just wait for my appointment next Friday then before trying to schedule a SA for my DH.

BizyBee, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and hoping those lines darken for you and this is it.

 

[aneageraussie]

hi ladies... how r we all..

bizy bee- i hope those lines getting darker for you
bobo - how was all ?

so in about 4hours i m off to appointment with IVF specialist.. i knw she wil lask for some more tests... but i will gladly do that as its all for start of IVF...

 

[bobobaby]

Aussie your so funny. No complaining over here! We have one more round to go tonight until I think we've gotten enough in.
Oooh I'm so glad your off to the IVF specialist today. hopefully they can get you guys started up soon!! Lets us know what they say asap! I'm getting excited for you!

 

[aneageraussie]

bobo , get as much as you can ...
i know your appointment is coming next friday.. i seriously hope this will be lucky for you

 

[Kelly9]

Aussie how long did it take you to get in? I am still waiting for my appointment... 4 month wait, it sucks! The another 6 months for IVF after the initial appointment and thats private! But on the plus side will do IUI during that 6 month wait.

 

[aneageraussie]

hi kelly,

thankfully it was not a long wait for me. what i basically did was made appointment with Melbourne IVF specialist, they promise an appointment within 2 weeks and i got in 10 days. which i m going today
Then after that i went to my GP and asked for a referral to the doctor i made appointment with.
I think the process from here is that i go today and IVF dr. will ask me for some more tests and next appointment may be in 2 weeks wil ldiscuss the test results and the options we can avail - IUI/ ICSI/ IVF and we can start when we feel we are ready.. of course its all private, but thats not a long wait.

 

[Kelly9]

I wish we had a program like that out here! It's such a long wait and there is only the one clinic in calgary or so I have been told so I can't even "shop" around. Well I hope all goes well and you start soon!!!

 

[aneageraussie]

thanks kelly... im so scared.. so many questions to ask... may be i will be a bit settled after this appointment

 

[Kelly9]

well let us know how it goes!!! I'll be there eventually, unless IUI works.

 

[aneageraussie]

ok so im back from the appoinment and it went pretty smooth.. dr was wonderful and im happy i selcted her
she discussed the test results which i already had (blood works and U/s)
and DH's SA which she thought is not "very"bad.. took a detailed history and ordered some more tests.

she told me given my age (29) , she wont be too worried if i keep trying..
or else she told me we can start the proces of IVF.. i told her we are financially ready for it.. she then sent me to IVF clinic to make appointmentts with counsellor ( which is mandatory) , nurses and accounts department.
She made sure they are on the same day and she will be seeing me too on that day to review my blood tests and DH's SA which she ordered today she told me that day we will sign the consent form if we decide to go ahead with IVF. Also she said i have to wait for atleast 6 weeks for that. which is not too bad
my next appointment with her and nurses, counsellor is on 19th August..
so i am aiming for a late september aur early october cycle..
i feel so releived now ..

sorry about the long post....
