Voicemail from Dr1

Just a quick update, because really all the info we have is from the voicemail he left.
So here it goes:
  • genetic testing is in and all ok :-) (we knew that)
  • we can go straight to the donor gamete option
  • 50% chance of finding what we need for an IVF cycle is probably "overly optimistic" (I guess it's good that we're not getting our hopes up? Except that, they're up... way, way up)
  • we can do a "concombinent"(?) IVF cycle and risk not finding anything - they'd want a donor backup available
  • it is not "unreasonable", with the information we have now, to meet with Dr1 to discuss the details and more of what is involved
  • go back to Dr 2 for biopsy before attempting IVF (this might give us an indication or our chances of being able to complete the cycle)
So we are going to schedule an appointment. I'm still praying that we at least have all of the ingredients to attempt IVF. AND I have my hopes up and am praying that we make the right decision. We're still undecided about what we'll do if we can't complete an IVF cycle. It's that step where I worry that we won't make the right decision. Whatever right means these days.

I'm not sure which gamete you'd need, nor the extent of your issues, but they can do fabulous things with donors. I'm hoping you can do IVF, either with your own eggs and sperm, or with donors of either. I hope you get some claification of where you're at soon.

I am glad you finally got some answers, and I hope IVF is an option for you. If not whatever decisions you make WILL be the right choice for you.
