New Li/IVF

Hi I just started with Dr. K and so far she and the nurses have been nice. I have had a HSG and day 22 and 3 testing.. My DH is testing this week. I am nervous to begin this process. At this point it's a lot fo testing (-:

Re: New Li/IVF

Good luck! I go to Dr. Brenner. I have found the nurses to be great and the office staff to be very helpful. I hope the testing goes smoothly and that your time on this board goes quickly!

Re: New Li/IVF

Good luck with the testing. I see the same dr and she and the rest of the staff have been great. it's natural to be nervous but it's also kind of exciting bc you're making progress!

Re: New Li/IVF

GL! I go there too, the staff is great and very helpful. it is a lot of testing at first but its a good thing b.c they get things moving right away.

Re: New Li/IVF

It seems like a lot at first but once the testing is all done you'll get into a routine. Everyone there is super nice and I love the staff as well. Best of luck to you!

Re: New Li/IVF

Good Luck!!!!!!!

Re: New Li/IVF

I started seeing her last month as well. So far everyone there seems super nice.
I agree with you - the initial testing is so overwhelming and kinda scary!!!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

Re: New Li/IVF

Good Luck to you! Once you get all the testing out of the way you can get a plan going!

Re: New Li/IVF

Best of luck to you!

Re: New Li/IVF

I go there also.....the staff is great. Good luck, I hope you stay is short.

Re: New Li/IVF

Hi Again,
Well I am going back in tomorrow to discuss the " next step" we got DH's results today and it seems his sperm count is low not motility but his numbers were something like 12 million. It was all so fast on the phone. I always suspected we would start IUI but now I am not even sure what we do? I am waiting for DH to come home to discuss. Dr. is doing an ultrasound tomorrow which will be day 12 to see where we are.. just needed to vent and get some advice?
THANKS

Re: New Li/IVF

Don't stress yet. My DH's #'s were low the 1st time he tested. After they tested again, his #'s were better. Lots of things can effect the test (stress, sleep, what he ate, etc).

If his count IS low, she still may start w/ an IUI. It's a quick and pretty painless procedure (I was shocked at how simple it was the 1st time I had it done). Dr. K. will go over all of your options with you.

Hope it goes well!

Re: New Li/IVF

I agree with everything Jen said. The same thing happened to me...I was shocked when the RE called me to tell me DH's count was low (9 million per cc). I always thought I was the problem!

She will most likely have you do an IUI this month. Hopefully you won't have to do anymore but if you do it will be much easier since you'll know the routine.

We are here if you have any more questions!

Re: New Li/IVF

Another LIIVF girl here! I see Dr. Brenner but I think Dr. K is awesome!

Re: New Li/IVF

Where did DH produce? My DH has normal counts at home but very low when its done in the office. There are also many factors involved. He should probably go for a second SA. GL!!!!!

Re: New Li/IVF

I went to LIIVF and saw Dr. Brenner and was very happy with him! I am a success story and have a beautiful 6 1/2 month DD because of him! I hope your stay is short!!
