Well i bit the bullet and rang my doc today and he is eager to help me in my quest to have a procedure called hysterosalpingography. Basically its a high resolution ultrasound with radiopaque medium to see if my tubes and everything are ok before we embark on IUI. We basically had a consult over the phone and he is sending me out a request form in the mail. I have to wait for AF to come and go before i can have it and the ultrasound place said to ring them when i am day one. Kim got AF yesterday so it won't be long. Even so we are having a rest cycle this month, because of all the different drugs i was on in trying to prepare for the ET that was never to be.
I thought long and hard about changing specialists and i figure that my doctor knows me and my uterus etc better now and by all reports he is very good at what he does and has the highest success rate in the clinic i go to. We both agreed last cycle was a disaster and he went into bat for me getting my refund and he is going to bulk bill me for any other procedures because he knows that we are low on funds and that it will take longer for me to get pregnant with IUI and the fact that if we import semen from the US it will be alot more expensive than using a local donor. I think after last cycle he will be doing everything by the book so to speak so i am sticking with him after all. I'm putting the past in the past and looking upward and onward.
Thing is the sperm from the US is of very high quality and the count is 3 to 4 times higher per vial so its value for money in my opinion. With the money we got back, we will be able to have about 6 IUI's in total, so we will be reserving 6 vials. After that, if i'm not pregnant, we will consider another IVF cycle, but that is over 6 months away...
Thank you all for your advice and support through all of this and i hope everyone is going ok, thinking of you all..xxx
