Oh ... he had it at Monash inside Epworth!! ... I will tell hubby to do another one at RWH!
I asked the same question in another thread but thought I'd ask again here ... has anyone had experience with Dr. Whitehead at mivf? Just would like to know whether she had much experience with male factors ... it seems from her bio that she specialises in PCOS ...
Glad to hear that they would discuss some options as well ... does IUI require the self-injections phase?
Secret: Ring Julie and ask if they will accept your DH's SA from Monash, perhaps my FS only likes RWH Andrology, Julie may be different, even though they are in the same clinic.. I was dissapointed we had to get another one, only to show the same results.
IUI does require injections to stimulate your ovaries, it may be inconvienient for you, however a tip, if the injections are worrying you, I used to call into the Satelite Clinic, and the nurse would "supervise" to ensure I was on the right track, or they can do them for you..
When I was with Dr McBain he only wanted to have SA through RWH also. We had previously had one done through our Gyn. The one through the Gyn didn't show up any problems, but the one through RWH showed that my husband also had some morphology problems (I have PCOS which we thought was our only problem), FS then advised that we go straight to ICSI.
I think that I had Dr Whitehead once as a fill in for Dr McBain. Seemed really lovely, but I couldn't tell you of her particular experience with male factor as we were going through OI at the time.
When I first started with Dr McBain, we went through OI (ovulation induction). We did about 4-5 cycles of that before moving to IVF/ICSI. It worked in the fact that it got me ovulating, but obviously didn't get us pregnant. The really good thing though is it got me used to injecting etc. It was like "baby steps" towards the IVF.
