IVF consultation today

Well, a few more months have passed. It seems like this kind of thing sure gets drug out. We had an office visit today with Dr. Malo at the Center for Reproductive Medicine in St. Paul. Everything went really well. We are going to do some testing and hopefully get Kathy on some meds this week. Possible first round of IVF in June. IVF sure isn't cheap, but we are thinking of doing the Attain program that has three fresh cycles and three frozen cycles for one price, with a money back guarantee. It should make the whole process a lot less stressful, knowing that we don't have all our eggs in one basket :).

Since the last post, we have learned that not only does Kathy have PCOS, she also has Endometriosis. With that and my low sperm count, IVF seems like the only option at this point. The nice thing is IVF with ICSI only requires one healthy sperm and the doctor said being pregnant can actually make Kathy's PCOS and Endo better. I was really worried they could make it worse.

I am so excited. Hopefully this year will be the year. Hopefully a lot more posts to come.
