Maybe it. I haven't done my enquires yet as I am waiting on news of my remaining tube. It was more for tax reasons I have it but now looks like Ill be using it. I am going to upgrade to extras I think.
Different clinics have different waiting times. I unfortunately have to use Donor sperm my DH isnt viable. Our first clinic had a 12 month to 18 month waiting list. The new clinic we have found has no waiting list.
We are going for our first appointment this friday so hopefully we can get started october or novemeber.
Thanks Redlady. My DH has low motility good everything else but he has got me pregnant 3times in 13months so think they must be ok. Its my dodgy tubes (now tube) that is preventing us from having another bubba. Do you know if the HSG (I think thats what its called) helps unblock them or cleans them alittle? I'd love not to need IVF but I and our Gyno think thats what will need to get the emby in the right spot. So I am waiting for confirmation my remaining tube is also no good and then we can head down that track. I feel like I have being waiting so long and there is still so much more waiting but I am now at the stage where I accept that (after many tears and tantrums) and have hope that either way eventually we will have another child.
Emmy, it is possible for dye studies to clear out a blocked tube, but I wouldn't necessarily rely on it happening.
I forgot to mention before that our PHI doesn't cover assisted conception, but it wasn't an issue for us. Medicare covers the majority of your cycle expenses, apart from the hospital stuff for EPU - PHI still covered some of this, but not all of it. Despite going through some pretty intense IVF treatment over 18 months we didn't think it worth the expense of upgrading to a higher cover, now worth the waiting periods we may have had to serve to get cover for assisted conception.
Thanks BW I thought the dye studies helped clean the tubes abit but I did hear once they have stuck together (or had junk in them) they are likely to go back the same way shortly after the dye studies anyway. Obviously we would like not to need assistance but after 12months of losses and knowing why now we don't want to waste another year in the hope we get UTD and its in the uterus. My fear is being in the same position in 12-18months time which emotionally I don't think I could handle. In saying this I also know IVF is no guarantee of a baby but it does give us hope. Thanks so much for your replies.
