This morning I saw a new obgyn/ fertility specialist. I was quite anxious because its been about 12 months since my 'hiatus' from the process. After finding a car park & wrangling an officious secretary, I was in quite quickly. We started from the beginning & I told her my history - I couldn't help but feel like I had turned back time 2 years & was starting again at square 1. As expected, D & I will need to re-test & I need an u/s. She suggest instead of another lap surgery (which I've been dreading), she suppresses the endo with hormones for 3 months before IVF. Then, if unsuccessful, we do another lap. I haven't processed this/ decided anything yet.
However, surprisingly, she suggest we see the bulk billing centre (who we have an appointment with next week) about IVF. She said that going through her was very expensive & (with my history) it may take several rounds of IVF. One positive - she emphasised that 29 is very young & I should not give up hope.
I feel really flat - exhausted - & don't know if I can do all this again. I can't believe this is what it has come to. I gave my niece Ruby lots of extra cuddles today.
I'll keep you posted x
I totally understand feeling like you are back tracking. I debated changing clinics at one point too. Although this process is long and stressful there is hope!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amie. Your journey is certainly reassurance of that!
