Hi Pixielou and trying4ever seems like we all live near each other. Hopefully are paths will cross once again when we are all carrying our bumps. I have un explained fertlity and on the 4th round of clomid. I think my next stage is IUI, I have got my next appointment on the 3rd december. We can keep each other posted xxx

Yeah that would be nice. I can feel it will be soon for all of us LTTTC hopefully. I think they said they would refer me to dr Sathanandan or something like that at Queens....do you know if he is good? I haven't had my appointment letter yet. Who are you guys under?

Hi Trying4ever

I am under dr sathandan as well. I did get offered clomid after I had all the blood test and the dye that sees if your tubes are clear. I am seeing him again in December so will keep you posted on what he recommends the next stage as I think you will only be 5 months behind me. Hopefully we all won't need it!

Oooh kool. Tory can I ask you what happened at your first appointment? Did he just send you for tests? What blood tests were they...cd2 and cd21? Did you have an USS and how long after was your HSG booked for? Did your DH have to have a SA? When was your follow up appointment with him? I thought you could only have 3 cycles of clomid or do you have a choice? It seems so laborious all this step wise thing. So is IUI the step before IVF? Sorry about all these questions!

Hi T4E

Just looked over my diary to check dates, we went to local doctors in October 07 once we had been trying a year. The doctor did DH sperm test, came back abit on the low side. I had cd2 and cd21, Jan 08, result good, then I had HSG on the 19th Feb all ok. Then I saw Dr Sathanadan on 25th April and was offered Clomid at my next period. I decided to wait a couple of months myself before I went on clomid becasue everyone said now your under the doctor it will happen. Well it didn't and in Aug started clomid on round 4 now. I thought it was standard that you get offered 6 months but was not asked. We have been trying for two years! Depending on sperm quality decides if you get offered IUI or ICIS and IVF you could get all three. Hope this has answered some of your questions. I don't know if any other factors come into play when been offered treatment age etc. As I am the ripe old age of 33 I have been told I qualify for all three treatments under NHS. Keep me posted, good luck with your

lol thats wierd I have met two other Mr Sathanandan people on this site!
Hey Pixielou have you joined our cycle buddies? I think I'm cd13 today.

aflight84 · Nov 7th, 2008, 11:03 AM

Nikki, I live in Harlow, i'm under the same PCT same hospital.
They told me IVF was my only option but after sorting hubby out i'm now on clomid.
You can get 1 round of IVF on the NHS if they approve your application you have to have a lot of tests done and have a stronge case for it though and neither of you can have had children before or they hold that against you to. it's a nightmare.
I got clomid upon my 4th visit after much nagging and 18 months ttc without AF fricking nightmare!!!
