Jacq, the first RE I saw did a clomid challenge and said in oct 2005 that i had a level of FSH 14 - he did not want to ivf as I was discriminated against my hep c status and CDN laws don't allow storage in their cyro banks..
So he told me to move on with donor eggs and that we wold have the best success rate. In nov 2005 I got pg which resulted in a blighted ovum and then a missed m/c Jan 2006 and then stat d/c in April 2006.
At that time I felt I had no other choice but to go to extreme measures and go for de. Hence Cooper came into place.
This RE is very proactive and does not discriminate although he cannot fo IVF with my own eggs he thinks I may have a chance still with my own doing IUI, funny thing the doctor in NJ said the same thing although they did offer my IVF using my own eggs as their laws are different.
So the game plan is go to NJ and do the transfer and use up all viable embryo's if BFN we move on IUI and then if BFN move on to our sole donor. Time frame to ER for sole donor probably late summer early fall.
We will do a clomid challenge and if I am growing follies we will move to an IUI that cycle immediately.
We are also looking at male factor cos Mark has never had any live births, up to now. He has to do a sperm donation for a motility count etc, he wasn't to thrilled LOLOLOLOL
In fact the clinic is called Southern Ontario Fertility Clinic if you google it you can see how Dr. martin has treated HIV discordant couples with perfect live births that are HIV negative. he is a wonderful man with a great personality.
The other nice thing is that ,most of all we are receiving is FREE with Ontario health care and we get to try for bio child!!! So as you can see he is willing to try for what we really wanted to begin with for a fraction of the price as some things are not covered, and he is also willing tom bring our embryo's up to Canada although I don't we can.
So we have a few more options and I think we all the back up plans we have a pretty good chance at getting a BFP EVENTUALLY :-)
I am not as worried and stressed as I once was.
I just finished paying off the entire cycle for NJ and we are ready to move on, with the upcoming cycle.
It was ALOT of money but the journey has been worth it, no matter what the outcome.
The investigative reporter is making air flight plans to co,me and interview our family and THAT is stressing me LOL - she is also coming with me to NJ as you know.
As I am on paid medical leave until Dec 2007 I hope to get all this fertility crap out ,my system by then and let well enough alone, perhaps we will still get a miracle - we are having unprotected bd this cycle LOLOLOLOL
Dr. Martin is VERY supportive of us, and willing to move ahead with us no matter what the circumstances, which of course is the OPPOSITE of of our past RE - and that terrible experience.
We now have 3 computers up and running and so hopefully the kids will let me on once in awhile LOL
I appreciate all your support as well as all the ladies here and ya'll have saved me many time from deep depression and self pity LOL
