5th IUI part2

After consulting Immunologist2, I feel immunology is an intangible branch of medicine. I don't believe in those extra terrestial and unidentified flying objects. To me aliens and immunology are just fiction. I went to back to My Fairy Godmother after consulting with Immunologist2. It was day20 already. I regret I missed the IUI. She did a transvaginal ultrasound to check my Luteal phase endometrium. I told her I will believe in immunology only after I experience a miscarriage. I ignored my inner voice at that moment.

I told her my scary experience with Immunologist2. Nobody leaves his clinic without immunologic problem. Everyone needs LIT. I told her I retracted my request of having an immunologist. She asked me to consult Immunogist3. Either ways, I feel I cannot escape immunology. After more 10 days of resisting Immunologist2, I did all blood works requested by Immunologist2.

I was not able to visit My Fairy Godmother on day2. On day5, she said my follicle was too big for day5. Maybe it was a carried over effect of previous cycle's GonlF. This was not an ideal cycle for IUI to start with. She asked me to go back to her clinic 4 days after. I have no idea on what she was planning, I just followed her instruction. I was hoping she would do the IUI this cycle. Surprise! Good news: I was ovulating on the right side. She asked me to have Pregnyl shot on Saturday 5am. She scheduled our IUI on Sunday. Hospitals and fertility lab are closed on Sundays. Luckily, one lab is open on Sundays (by special arrangement). Bad news: karyotype result was released already. I did not have the courage to ask her about the karyotype result yet. I was thinking of the survival of the fittest sperm. I also inquired two Taiwan hospitals if they do abortion on grounds of chromosomal abnormalities. I cried again. But, I accepted my fate- come what may!

I thought this was an answered prayer. My husband's sperms were very motile and the morphology had jumped to 7%. This was a miracle.

The next day after the IUI, I went to My Fairy Godmother's clinic to check whether my follicle ruptured or not. Then, she shared her bad news about the karyotype. It is about my perspective, how I would see a glass as half empty or half full. She sees it as half full. She had a patient with chromosomal translocation who delivered a 100% normal baby. She extended one more IUI before we do IVF. She said my husband's sperms have improved a lot. I did not want to contest her. I was afraid she will blame me again for being pessimistic. I don't like another sermon. But, I gained enough courage to tell her that I really cannot accept the semen analysis result. How come the sum of motile and non-motile sperm exceeded 100%? For this reason, I don't believe in any of that lab's report. I don't believe in the 7% morphology.

After 14 days of waiting, I had spotting. I went back to My fairy Godmother the next day. She said my endometrium was thick and this was not a menstruation. She suspected pregnancy. I told her I have just passed large chunks of blood that morning. She asked me to come back 2 days after I experience larger blood flow.

Did I just experience a miscarriage?  Was it because of chromosomal abnormality? I guess not...  Why did she get mad when I asked if I had miscarriage? My stupidity, I did not use pregnancy kit. That product drives me crazy!  I felt guilty because I was just shopping for immunologist. I was not having any immunologic treatment. I doubted my immunology has cause the miscarriage. Did I have a miscarriage?
