Tests before IVF (what do we need ?)

Post by Sillylally »

Hi girls,
I had sterilization reversal 18 months ago & now have blocked tubes. Just had dye test on them 2 weeks ago.
Only option now is IVF & I have the Dr tomorrow. But does anyone here know what blood tests etc I'll need before IVF can begin, just so I am prepared when I see my Dr?
I have tried to find out but there seem so many tests I'm thinking "how are we ever going to get through all that lot ?"
Wonderful website & great to know you girls are here. Thanks x Sally x (UK)

Hi Sally. Before we started IVF we had to have blood tests for Hep B, Hep C, HIV and me for Rubella. Good luck with your treatment.

sally,
please dont worry about the tests,they really are a doddle.we both had hiv,hep b,hep c,and i had rubella immunity.it only takes a few minutes,and although we had to go private,my gp did all the tests for free.
good luck,hope all goes well for you
