My name is Laura and my husband and I have been TTC for almost 3 years. Clinic had initially thought it was non-specific but I paid privately for an AMH test (there is a history of premature menopause in my family). My score was 7
(I am only 29) and they say if we'd been a year later getting help we may be too late. Husbands test results slightly under average, so they recommend we go for ICSI and do it NOW!Before the clinic decided we should go for ICSI I started getting reflexology treatments for general health. Has anyone had reflexology during IVF? Did you stop after ET?
My reflexologist also says I am full of toxins and that I could do with doing a detox, so was thinking about starting that now. Anyone else got any detox experience with IVF? How long did you do it for?
I'm not sure when my cycle will start, we have our planning session in the morning but I am currently on day 22 of my natural cycle, so guess we could start in a week or so. Only tests needed before we start are HIV/Hep. I've already done all the others as part of the investigations.
I'm dreading injecting myself - one of my colleagues and his wife had IVF privately a few years ago and they got a machine to do the injections with rather than standard syringes - anyone know if those are available on the NHS or can you pay to upgrade? Pushing a button sounds like a better option than sticking a needle in manually!
