Hi Bec,

I'm really sorry to hear about everything you are going through. You are a tough cookie!

You mentioned some 'look outside the box' suggestions, so I thought I would mention 2 natural fertility experts that I know of working in Perth. They are loaded with info and advice that you are most likely not ever going to hear from your GP or IVF specialist (no offence to them- the things I'm referring to are just not their forte).
One specialist is Natalie Pickering, of Perth Natural Medical Clinic in Mt Lawley, the other is Jane Lamprell-Jarrett, who works at both Pivet Medical Centre and Synergy Clinic in Leederville.
They conduct intensive 3 month pre-conceptual care programs (sperm takes 3 months to fully mature) which incorporate intensive diet control and supplementation tailored to each partners individual constitution, as well as rigorous detoxification. They are also able to conduct blood, saliva, and hair analysis tests to ascertain any hormonal imbalances, heavy-metal and pesticide toxicity, as well as many other common barriers to conception.

Friends of mine fell pregnant after following Natalie's pre-conceptual care program- although they had been trying for 2.5 years to fall pregnant naturally prior to this and were ready to board the IVF train.

I wish you both all the very best in your journey to becoming parents. I will say a little prayer for you, your DH's sperm and your eggs!! Remember, miracles DO happen every day........ I believe your time will come.
