Ladies I get my fertility test results back tommorow(bloodwork) i got a few questions?

Depends on what is wrong. For me, the blood work showed that I had a low progesterone level, meaning I wasn’t ovulating. If you don’t ovulate, you can’t become pregnant. In that case, they can prescribe things such as clomid or progesterone shots to jump start your period. I know this is also used to help women with PCOS.

All fertility issues now a days have solutions.

IVF is normally the last option. Most hormonal issues resulting in failure to ovulation/poor egg quality can be fixed with ovulation inductors (clomid, femera), or injectables. No doctor would turn to IVF right away.

Other issues they might spot can be fixed easily by progesterone, or even vitamin b supplements.

Just know that everything has a solution, and the first round of defense is not nearly as intrusive as IVF.

Good luck tomorrow!

the blood work test are the ones they can fix easy. but when they do hsg witch is the test to check the tubes can be trick if there block sometimes they still can be fix.but there are a lot of thing they can fix so calm down an hope for the best. we will just cross our fingers it just comes out great with nothing wrong. best of luck

Been there, done that. All the blood work shows is your current hormone levels, thyroid check and such. It’s a baseline to establish numbers with there is no “pass fail” on it. Once those numbers come back your doctor will let you know what the next testing will be and probably will have hundreds of questions more for you. You will NOT however jump to IVF as a first resort. There are other intermiate steps that will be taken first.

One is if it is determined with further testing that you have PCOS or Endometriosis you will most likely go through corrective procedures for those and do Clomid first for a period of time under a doctors supervision. If that is not the case OR the clomid doesn’t work (and it won’t for every person) then you will undergo laproscopy in some cases (yes, it is a surgical procedure and usually out patient). You may need to go for an HSG test which is where they put dye into your uterus and tubes and take a series of xrays to determine if there is blockage or pollups or other things causing a problem internally. Most likely you’ll have a few internal ultrasounds during the process of infertility assessments as well.
From there your doctor will probably go to the next level which is IUI and a painless procedure that involves a simple transfer of sperm into your body at the time of ovulation by your doctor. IUI is not always covered by insurance either, if at all on some policies and it can be a couple thousand dollars per attempt as well. It’s not the priciest but it’s not the cheapest either. If IUI doesn’t work THEN you’ll go to IVF. IVF is NOT a cheap option. The drugs you will be on prior to retrieval day are thousands of dollars and not always covered by insurance, though a few are. The drugs alone for IVF that I had done would have been $6000 out of pocket had our insurance not covered some of them. We still ended up paying $2500 out of pocket for them. It is alot of self given shots- in the stomach that have to be done daily at a set time and length of time. You’ll be in and out for ultrasounds and monitoring with blood work to keep checking your rising hormone levels.
Then it is a surgical procedure for retrival that you’ll go through. Embryos will be started in a lab and then you’ll return at a set time and day (the doctor will call you so you have to be ready to go when they do) for your transfer, which is alot like IUI only with embryo’s. It takes about 5 minutes and is painless. Then you will wait 7-10 days and go in for a pregnancy test at the doctors (blood draw) and when the result is in they will notify you. IVF can be as high as $10,000 PER CYCLE that you do in addition to the drugs. Some women do not have success with IVF the first time or even the second time. Your doctor may have access to embryo storage which will prevent you from starting completely back at stage one with it if it didn’t take but you’ll still have a series of drugs to be on after transfer that will help in the early stages of things that you will either continue or discontinue depending on your transfer results. Your doctor will let you know. IVF is pretty invasive and while it may seem “easy and quick” it isn’t. I ended up with OHS from it due to the drug combinations (a common side effect) and had to freeze my babies until I was over that and then had to go back and do certain drugs again to get ready for the transfer (something if I hadn’t contracted the OHS I wouldn’t have had to do). It takes serious committment and willingness to do ANYTHING it takes to have a child or chance for a child. IVF also highly increases your chances of multiples and most doctors won’t do more than 2 embryo’s at a time as a result. How many they put in you double the number and this is the possibility of what you could end up with in a resulting pregnancy. With my doctor we did 2 based on my age and the potential outcome. We knew that 1 could certainly be possible or as many as 4 babies. One of the embryo’s died and never developed. Somewhere there is a little angel as a result. The other embryo did take and she’s due in June this year. It was a LONG road and at times frustrating where you wonder “is this doing any good? What is the point?” but you have to stay POSITIVE through the process and keep staying so even when it gets frustrating and hard to keep pushing forward (and yes, you will have those days in the road of infertility!)
Hopefully it is an easy fix for you and a little bundle will be on the way for you, but if it’s not an easy fix ahead (and only your doctor can determine what route is best, when and what testing) then ask yourself “how far am I willing and able to go in order to have a chance for baby? how invasive am I willing to get in procedures to make it happen and have the chance?” Those are questions only you can answer for yourself. For me it was a no brainer after everything else failed. IVF was the next step and if the doctor had told me “cut your k
