It was funny because as I was sitting in the waiting area I could see my folder then other couples come in and their folders are put next to mine, well mine looks like a novel to them...lol
When the Dr came and got me I commented on how thick my folder is looking she laughed and said yeah we seem to be getting to know you well...lol then she went on to explain that they color code the folders for the year they/patient came in (which I noticed be cause mine is pink all the other were green & red) She said that way they know how long the patient is with them in 2003 the folders were yellow now there is no yellow left, meaning it was a successful year... I have been with them since 2001
The Dr said that they are stumped with me that they normally get a patient pg within a the year with a healthy baby at the end & that she also has a couple of staff members with a Unicornuate Uterus that even had Ectopic on the good tube side went on to IVF and carried babies with no problem, She even has one of the Dr’s dd as her patient that has a pencil thin UU and it did not look that she'd be able to carry a baby so they set her up with a surrogate but she then became pg and carried her baby to term. (She said that with that girl’s UU she had a hard time getting the HCG catheter in because it was that small) Dr said my UU looks good not to small but not so big.
I asked the Dr 4 questions:
1) Can I still do the IUI if I am not on the clomid?
She said “well yeah but chances are better with the clomid.” Then I said “Well our chance is still better if we do even if not on the clomid.”. She said “Yes, so does this mean you want to do the IUI the next couple of months while off clomid?” Of course I said, “Yes”
This makes me feel better since I still “Have a better chance”
2) I had a friend mention to me about MTHFR (Metylene-Tetra-Hydro-Folate-Reductase) http://www.fvleiden.org/ask/51.html , was I tested for that? Yes I was came back normal. (of course)
3) I asked about my uterus lining being thin? She said they are going to keep an I on it the next couple of months if it proves to not thicken most of the time they can fix it with meds, but if that does not work and if they can prove that my UU and lining won’t hold a baby I can go thru there surrogacy program. But she is confident that I/we will have our own baby one day and that it comes from my body. The 81mg of aspirin should also help the blood flow to the uterus.
4) I asked about my right Ovary because it to be becoming more dominate then the left? She said “that is confusing because when I had my Ectopic surgery in 2002 they remove some of the right ovary because I had a cysts on it also that my right is smaller then the left because it did not migrate down to where it should have been so like the right side of the uu it did not from right. So therefore it should not be the most dominate side because they have messed around next to it(I guess when they do that the ovary is not happy) So why is it still dominating over the left…..lord only knows.
She also has me set to see a specialist for when I become pg, she said some Dr’s do not know what to do with a pg women while she is on the IVIG program. ( I did not realize that IVIG was that confusing…lol)
So finally I left that clinic in good spirits with a little smile on my face knowing I am not doomed yet, she said we are taking steps and there are other steps to get you your baby.
So now I sit and wait for AF to find me, then onto IUI without the clomid.
And pray that my time has come to be a mummy & DH a daddy.
Some nice yummy cookies to you for reading all that...lol
