Wishing you all the best! I just want to update on my previous post & say that my gf ended up doing another round of IVF and she fell pg with twins & is due very soon! (her husband had to have a biopsy). Best of luck!!
Wedding is done now!!! 10.11.12 - best day of my life!!!
I have now given up smoking to increase our chances of conceiving through IVF.
But first we need to have the biopsy done. Hopefully we will get it done mid next year (2013)!
I find i'm get anxious about the whole thing, i just want to be a mother already!
Has anyone used or heard of FSDW (free sperm donation worldwide) ???
If my partner doesn't end up having any sperm i was thinking about using the site but i would like to know other peoples experiences?
So my DH had a meeting with the IVF specialist today to discuss his Biopsy.
The receptionist told me our referral was still current, that we had until April 2013..... but the lady at the desk today said it expired in April this year. I wouldn't have made the appointment if my referral wasn't current because you don't get any $$ back from Medicare. I am already frustrated with the whole process!! LOL
Anyway The doctor said all is good, we just got to call him when were ready to have it done, Its only a 2 week wait.
We don't want to do it until Mid 2013 as we have house renovations to do first!
The specialist recommends a OPEN BIOPSY. DH will require 2-3 weeks off work to heal.
For anyone who is wondering about costs the sperm collection (assuming there is any) is around $620 and you get around $420 back from Medicare.
For the scientist to attend its $325 (no Medicare rebate) and initial freezing costs are $300 for the first 3 months and $200 for every 3 months after that (no Medicare rebate).
