Hi ladies,

DH and I are going to see the Genetic DR tomorrow at 2:30. I'm getting pretty nervous about it. I'm praying there is nothing wrong with our genes. I mapquested the driving directions there today and found out we have a 2hr and 30min drive there one way!! That will only make me more nervous b/c I have more time to think about all of it. LOL I also went and saw my infertility DR and he said that he would do my uterus evaluation for me. I go on Friday for that at 11 am. Then he told me that he really would only feel comfortable doing IVF and not really wanting to do a Femara& Follistim cycle. I feel pretty crushed about that. Our insurance doesn't pay for IVF at all and the DR charges 15,000 per cycle. I'm not sure what we are going to do to pay for that. I feel like we have hit that brick wall and we can't get over it right now. He also said that if I miscarry again I shouldn't get pregnant anymore, and we should look into a surrogate.

I feel pretty defeated and not sure where to go from here. I am hoping for a good visit with the genetic dr tomorrow. Sorry it was long, I will update you with what the genetic dr says.




Update:
Thanks ladies, the appt went well! The genetic dr was very nice. She is running a few tests on us. She is testing to see if our cells are made up properly and then something called MTTK I think that is what it was called. LOL Not sure on that one and then she is also testing us for Fragile X. She said she would just call us with the results so we wouldn't have to make that drive again. She is also recommending that we see an IVF specialist and I need to see a high risk OB next time. We are going to try to see if Tricare will pay for some of the IVF with two dr's recommending IVF.

Good Luck hun!
'
about the dr who would prefer to do IVF, i think that is not entirely up to him even though it would be hugely financially beneficial to him. if you want to try a cycle or two on femara and follistim, that should be your choice and IVF should be the absolute last resort.. just sayin'...

Good luck tomorrow I hope you get answers!

Update in original post, thanks ladies!

I hope they can figure out what's wrong and fix it! I don't believe what the doctor says about not getting pregnant again and I also don't understand why he just wants you to do IVF. I wouldn't think that it has much less chance of m/c than getting preggo from old fashioned BD. I just hope and pray that your next pregnancy is that sticky

Have they said why they think IVF is the way to go? Is it to watch for quality of the egg and sperm or something?
