My Fairy Godmother's plan: 2 IUI first before IVF.
She believes immunologic factor is a secondary cause of infertility. She had requested my husband to have chromosome karyotyping because he has OATS oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Hormones for husband and me...LH, FSH, Prolactin, Estradiol, etc...
Anti-mullerian, etc... For me. The only proven treatment for APAS (anti-phospholipid antibody) and ACA (anti-cardiolipin antibody) is heparin and aspirin.
It was one day prior to ovulation when I had my first consultation with My Fairy godmother. We did the IUI the next day. I love about her aggressiveness. She suggested a double collection. Double insemination. But unfortunately, we never tried it.
I had a delayed period. I thought this was my fairy tale pregnancy! After I had endured the pain and bruises brought by heparin, but there was no reward. It was devastating to learn that my endometrium did not get thicker after 2 weeks.
Don't question why heparin... Heparin injection can be done after confirmed pregnancy but she prefers it to be injected immediately after IUI. She wants to improve pregnancy chance.
I ovulated on the left. I suspect my left fallopian tube is blocked. I hope my problem was fallopian tube not immunology. I did my HSG with OBGYNE1. She believes my fallopian tubes are not blocked. Because she did the procedure but the radiology report shows otherwise. OBGYNE1's statement still reverberates at the back of my mind. No iui or ivf shall be successful if I have immunologic problem. For this, I requested My Fairy Godmother to hand me over to a reproductive immunologist. I just have the feeling she played blind on my LAT.
