Hi,

I am seeing Dr LOK at liverpool SIVF. He is so kind and tries to explain everything he can in simple terms he even goes to the effort of drawing things to help explain what he is talking about.

I am 24 and hubby 28 and have been married for two years. We have been ttc for 1 year and have had two miscarriages both at 5 1/2 weeks.

Dr LOK has been the only person that has taken us serious due to our age. On My first appointment I took an ultrasound from 1 of my miscarriages and he said, "You have a septum in your uterus" after looking at the scans for a few seconds. You dont understand how angry I was. When i had my miscarriages I went to hospital and had ultrasounds done and no-one mentioned it just said, "Miscarriages are normal, your young, you have plenty of time."

Anyway I had some more scans done which confirmed the septum. I had an appointment with Dr LOK on the Monday and he booked me in for the surgery that Thursday. My DH and I couldn't believe it. Anyway the surgery went well and the septum was removed.

I thought that was it but Dr LOK wanted to make sure everything else was okay and sent my DH and I for blood test and my DH semen test. My blood tests came back normal but to our surprise my hubby's semen test wasn't so good. From what I understand what Dr LOK explained my DH semen does not contain the information required in his sperm to create a successful pregnancy which may have been a reason also for our miscarriages.

So my DH has to take vitamin's C & E and some folic acid and repeat the test in 3 weeks to see if there is an improvement. So that is the stage that we are currently at.

Sorry for the long post

Tamara
