We're back in the game!!

So we've been down this road before without success.  Back in 2008 we did IVF & due to OHSS we needed to freeze all of our embryos.  We then did 2 FET cycles and both BFN's.  I couldn't take it anymore so we took a year break.  Not to mention the RE & staff just wasn't doing it for me anymore.  In the past few months I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease.  So along with my PCOS & DH's male factor we have alot of things to overcome.

Fast forward to last Friday.  We had a phone consult with an new clinic.  The RE was AWESOME & we both feel like we are in great hands.  He went over our history and said since my lining was a little thin he thinks natural killer cells can be attacking my endometrial lining.  WOW, why didn't anyone ever tell me this before dishing out thousands of $$$!!!!  He thinks doing intralipid therapy will fix the problem.  Since we live about 2 1/2 hours away he said as long as he can trust the place, I can be monitored locally & travel down there for ER & ET!  What wonderful news!!!!  After that I spoke with the clinical manager.  She is sending out a packet & I am to call with CD 1. 

On Monday AF made an appearance.  I called and left a message for the nurse with that.  Then I also spoke with the office manager to get all the finacials under control.  As much as we liked the RE & staff, money is a big factor since we don't have coverage for these services.  After speaking with her we decided to go for it!  They were decently priced.  I got a call back from the nurse & she wanted me to get day 3 labs done.  I also need to get immunology labs for me & DH and they will check ovarian reserve, do a fluid u/s & mock ET.  For all of these we need to go to the clinic.  We are heading there next week on Tuesday.

Since today was day 3, I went to get the labs drawn.  I also am to start birth control pills starting TODAY!!!!  We are planning a January IVF cycle so this is definitely exciting.  I'm hoping we have made the right decision & this RE make our dream ome true of becoming PARENTS!!!
