Well my DH got back he's 3rd Tunnel assay test (DNA Fragmentation test).
For those of you who don't know the 1st was done at a different FS and he got a glowing 12.5% which puts him in a HIGH fertility potentional. Then we went to a new FS and he did the test again and he got an appaliing 36% which puts him in a very bad fertility potential. Then we demanded another test because of the huge descrepinacy and it came back at 22% which still isnt great but its OK! Half way I guess. So im still a little concerned but also I feel a little better that its not so bad! Has anybody elses DH had this test done?
Dr called and she thinks I might be spotting due to the internal scan, as she asked me whether my DH and I were doing the deed (no) and she feels that the scan could have done the same thing! Its quite normal she said but she's going to look at my scan next week to see if the follies are growing like they should! I know that my follies do grow as Ive had two IUI's and they grew perfectly for that! So heres hoping!!!!!!!
Thanks for all your support! I really need it as Ive told noone Im going through this! Except my mum of course!
Kim - I don't know anything about the DNA test, sorry. That's good news from the Dr. Try not to worry and just visualise what should be happening in your body! I'm sure all will be fine at next week's scan.
That's what we're all here for - support! Glad to be of some help. I actually told 2 people yesterday - one friend who's been through IVF and so I feel very comfortable talking to and also a friend at work. The friend at work is pretty understanding, she's also ttc. Didn't talk about it much, just told them. I feel like I should tell my Mum but not sure when I'll get a chance...
HI Girls - Thanks to all for your support after my BFN.
Been back to the FS today as he we didnt catch up yesterday after my test results. I am not sure how I feel after talking to him, he is definately still hopeful and is really one of the best around. He is going to consult with Dr DeAmbrosis on my case and offered for me to see him (same clinic) for a second opinion. They know that I am now turning in to a bit of a mess - Ive been toughing it out for 11 cycles and frankly I want answers.
I asked him again for Metformin and he is still reluctant to prescribe it as I have no insulin resistance and am not overweight at all. I also have a healthy diet. Is anyone else in the same boat but HAS been prescribed Metformin that is not overweight and does not have insulin resistance?????????. I do have problems with excess hair (which costs me a fortune to maintain with Laser!) and my scalp hair is really weak and fine and getting worse. Skin is OK. He also told me my PCOS is quite serious and affecting the quality of my eggs. He told me that the Cochrane assesment of Metformin is that its not proven to improve egg quality?? I didnt ask at the time wether this was only tru if you are NOT insuling resistant? Even after my 10w misarriage last June I was hopeful that it had worked and that now i was on the right track it would be fine. Ive done two full stim cycles since then and still nothing Dr Sacks has answred my e-mail suggesting that I dont use my single snowbub until after my appt with him, so thats a delay I wasnt wanting to happen.
Lou - Hope you are OK. Not sure exactly what tests will be done at this stage but will make sure I post them once I've been . They are also listed in the book I am reading called "Is your Body Baby Friendly" by Dr Alan Beer. SO might be able to list them from the book, Ive also seen a great post by Suzi Q(Ithink) in another forum which is what started me on this path.......
2mums - could well be implantation. I hope so. Fingers crossed for you both. My acupuncturist is David McLeod in Wicham Tce - Healthwise clinic....Just checked my last receipt and it was definately $46, more for your first visit.
Sorry for the long post and the venting - I usually keep it in, not wanting others to think it might be getting to me and it might be time I gave up.
