I was debating on how to start out this write-up because I did not want to start one thing with a unfavorable connotation. I wanted to discuss with other Lesbian couples how to know when it really is the suitable time to switch from one particular Fertility Clinic to another.

Let’s start off by speaking about why we choose, as Lesbian Couples, to go to Fertility Clinics. We go for these factors:

1). It really is a sterile atmosphere with doctors and nurses who are educated in how to do IUI and ICI procedures. I, myself, do not really feel comfy utilizing a method on my partner in the comforts of our residence for the reason that our residence, no matter how clean, is not a sterile atmosphere. So I’m willing to pay someone to do that service for me.

2). We use sperm samples that we invest in from places like California Cryobank or Fairfax Cryobank and the like….those samples call for thawing and preparing. I am not a trained scientist and I am no professional at doing these varieties of issues. Also, how would I be certain that CCB is sending me a great sample if not for the experience of these labs in letting us know if we had a good sample with fantastic motility and reside sperm swimming around in our sample? So I am willing to pay a person to do that service for me.

3). Fertility Drugs….when you use drugs like Clomid or Letrozole, you make extra eggs, providing you extra of a likelihood of insemination, as opposed to just relying on the one particular egg you generate naturally every month. So I’m willing to pay somebody to present that service for me.

four). Fertility Clinics have ultrasound devices which can look and see if you have developed additional than one particular follicle and what size those follicles are and at least give me a greater timing of when it’s fantastic to truly inseminate my partner. So, again, I’m prepared to spend someone to do that service for me.

5). Ultimately, if there is some variety of fertility issue, such as Endometriosis, bad ovaries or one thing that may well prevent you from having pregnant, that can be diagnosed and taken care of so that you have more of a chance of achievement. So, I am willing to pay an individual to do that service for me.

For those reasons I listed above is why 99% Lesbian Couples seek out the expertise of a Fertility Clinic. What we do not want is for a physician at a clinic to choose for us what service they believe we really should have as a couple. I have identified in my knowledge so far, most Fertility Clinics push you toward getting IVF which is a extremely highly-priced process. With no far more of a assure than if you had an IUI done. But it is much more expensive so that is what the medical doctors push you toward.

If you really feel that your physician keeps pushing you toward those procedures and you do not want to do it, then say so and be prepared to leave that clinic if the doctor’s persistence continues. Fertility Clinics all have distinctive procedures they use to attempt to enable couples get pregnant, but you ought to under no circumstances really feel bullied to do some thing you cannot afford and are not willing to participate in.

We met with our 2nd Fertility clinic the other day, and after speaking to him for an hour, he had currently decided that we need to have to do IVF. So once again we come across ourselves getting to explain to another medical doctor the only purpose we sought out the help of a fertility clinic.

Not all ladies have fertility problems. And those of us who do not are willing to take the time to do the procedures we pick, IUI, to get started our household. No matter who you ask, only 20-25% of girls get pregnant inside the first 6 IUI tries….that number increases to 60% for the subsequent 12-18 tries. The numbers are no different for IVF procedures, but the expense absolutely is a lot more high priced. But medical doctors will try to convince you that it is a significantly greater rate, when in reality it is not. As couples, you must decide which process fits your price range.

If you believe you can afford a process like IVF, by all signifies attempt it. But if you can’t and you will need to be more accountable with your revenue, then IUI is your most effective bet and patience will be your companion. As with all InVitro Fertilization methods it takes time. It is a incredibly uncommon occurrence that you will get pregnant on the initially try.

I really assume doctors ought to cease pushing patients into costly procedures, for the reason that the only individual it helps is the medical professional and his or her bank account. Now if a lady actually has some fertility challenges, IVF could possibly be a answer. But I’ve talked to females who do have some challenges and IVF was no assistance or guarantee for them either. Every single lady is an island. She is various and exceptional in her personal way. You can not use a cookie-cutter strategy on every woman.

But please recognize it is critical for you as a patient to keep vigilant in your know-how of what goes on and stand rapidly in your solutions for your personal fertility. We only use these fertility clinics to help us in this process. It is essential to communicate with your physician, but you do not have to live as if his word is bond. You can query his diagnosis and you do have a choice. You can say NO. And as a qualified he need to respect you and move on.
