Had our fertility appointment today and have now been discharged from gynaecology and have been referred to The Hewitt Centre which is the specialist IVF and IUI treatment centre in my area. It's at the same hospital but in a different building.
Filled out referral forms today. They took height, weight (ugh), BMI. Asked all the questions about smoking, drinking, how many units per week, etc. The doctor signed the forms, I signed, OH signed.
She said that the next time we hear from them it will be confirmation that we are On the List, so to speak. The time after that will be when our time arrives. She says the waiting list at the minute is only three months so we should expect egg retrieval or the like in around April.
She has also put us down for IUI. She says it's just an extra. We can have three tries at IUI, three tries at IVF before it starts costing anything.
She was also very, very surprised that Clomid did not make me ovulate.
"I see you have endometriosis and a question mark over your ability to ovulate," she said. And, then, "that's two strikes, really, isn't it?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Fingers crossed that one of these procedures works. And, that none of us are waiting too long...
