DH did not want to go for tests until Jan 2010 like u i am impatient and wanted to know now!
Where do you live? im in uk?
basically i had a few pains nothing major in Aug, doc told me to go for a scan. the doc there said i had a few small fibroids nothing to worry about. she didnt have a proper chat with me,so 2 months later i went back to the docs and said i was disappointed that i was not given more info and due to my age im worried about fertility.

He referred me to a gynae. ( by the way all this is private, so it happened quicky) went to gynae for 1st app, he sadi the same as the 1st doc but he noticed my lining was too thin for CD14, he suggested a lap....i was shocked. i said 'but i have regular periods' he said that does not necessarily mean anything.
anyway i was convinced he will wont find anything and my issue will prob be hormonal.
So u can imagine me shock last week when he said you have endo and will have to have IVF!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway, back to your Q, i would go sooner rather than later. But you need to have a reason to be reffered ..fertility is not covered my privtae insurance

do u have any pains or any reason why u should go for a scan?? have u had your CD2 and Cd21 results to check your hormones are ok? thats your first test and the doc will do that without question

let me know how u go, PM me if you want
sorry for the essay x

Hi Muncho

Whats a CD2 and CD21 test?

I have an appt at the doctors a week today - I am going to tell him I have been TTC for one year rather than a vague 5/6/7 months. I have private insurance but know that Im not covered under that.
How do you suggest I handle the doctors appt next week - last time I saw him he knows I am TTC and he told me to stop analyising everything and to let him happen naturally - easy for him to say!

Thanks for replying to my 1st message

ok ladies where r you all considering for ivf-i was looking at argc in london until i read a review that the average cost is 9K-so much for their #310o price list-aparently they test like mad and this is what pushed the price up I expected 4k but 9-does anyone know if this is correct? Looks like Care manchester or still thinking of Norway-just a bit dubious of being far away from home is something goes wrong! HELP!!THIS choosing a clinic lark is crap

muncho · Nov 24th, 2009, 05:36 AM

grapevine, CD2-4 and CD21 are hormone tests that you have during days 2-4 and 21 of your cycle, they tell you if you have ovulated and waht your fsh levels are. i would def going to the docs and having it done, If your levels are not normal they can give you tablets..

glitterqueen. i met a friend yetserday who has 3 kids (inc twins) and she highly recommened the ARGC...she knows toins of people who who pg who had tried OVF at other places....but its one of things isnt it....do you get what you pay for whn it comes to IVF, i dont know??

Thank you Muncho - I will ask if it is possible for me to have these tests - I used an ovulation test last cycle and got a smiley face on Day 15 - but I understand you can get a positive ovulation test but you may not release an egg??? Is that correct?

The success rates in Norway are great. I was all set to go over in the spring. There standard of care is second to none too. I also looked into egg share to reduce the cost. I know this isnmt everyones cup of tea but my oh's twins were egg share so we wanted to give something back. X Good luck!!

yes thats correct , your pituatary gland could be sending the message but your ovaries might not respond..hopefully that wont be the case x
