Did you know:
There are actually fertility specialist out there that want to help you...
Strange I know but I think I found him.
WJ and I had our appointment at our new clinic on Thursday and I didn't walk out of there feeling like a total looser.
Our new baby Dr came out and said you do have PCO and we are going to treat that.
This is our plan so far.
1. Im doing a glucose tolerance test today to check for diabetes (have never been checked before)
2. ill be talking Metformin for 3 months and during this time get really healthy and lose wieght
3. In March we will be doing IVM with ICSI
Yes IVM not IVF its not a spelling error.. I had never heard of this before, apparently its really good for women with PCOS because it reduces the risk of OHSS. You are on less FSH drugs and then you take HRT drugs to help with the TWW.
What they do is take out the immature follicles and mature them in the lab then use ICSI to inseminate them instead of the eggs and sperm having a party in a petri dish together, then they transfer a day 5 blast about 6 days later.
Dr H said that for some women they actually fall pregnant while on Metformin. We are hoping that i am going to be one of those women. Its great knowing that for the next 3 months we have a plan. While we are in Italy Ive told my brother (who is a workout fanatic) that he needs to work me out while we are there. He was happy to do that.
Well I must be off Ive got my 2 hour GTT this morning. I need to gather some reading material before I go becuase the only magazines they have in the waiting rooms are from 1997 when Tom and Nicole were still together and when Kristy Ally had lost weight for the 2nd time.
Do you think they will mind if i paint my nails while i'm waiting?
Much Love
Luisa
