First of all Deidre don't feel crap! Thank You!!!! This is a POA even if we will have to save for it. DH is allergic to Debt so we are going to have to save.... He hates lending money and will never ever borrow from the bank of wherever for something like this.
The test he wants to do are:
FSH
LH
Oestradiol 17-B
Prolactin
TSH
Free T4
HIV
RPR Only
HEP B
Rubella
Bloodgroup + Rhesus
Inherited trombophilia screen
Phospholipid Antibodies
ANF Only
AMH
POA is to mail him again and ask whether all these are absolutely necesarry and tell him we will be waiting a while before we would like to go ahead. Also, what should I do in the meantime? Should I do what Dr F says and go on the Climen?
I think you should ask Dr V if you should use the Climen in your mail. Have you had any of these tests done before? I think you should get hold of your previous tests(if you had any) and mail them to Dr V, so that he can use it as a comparison
ReplyDeleteMandy did he say why the clomid wouldn't work? My cycles were the same as yours and it worked well for me. Shouldn't one at least try? I am no FS and I have a lot of respect for dr V, I knew him before when he was still specializing! To be very frank I personally think a lot of the tests that VL run routinely is too much for the average patient. That is just my opinion though. For instance I had none of those (nada zilch zip!) of those tests at my clinic, and here I am, with twins. Basically we did a therapeutic trial I guess, and it was clear that the clomid was doing its job. I mean you have been pregnant twice, clearly although there is some problems with that (same as me) but not that bad!! Sorry I know I am not helping that much. Perhaps you could email my gynae too? He is also excellent? For a third/fourth opinion? Sorry you are having such a hard time! xoxo
