[quote=jindc][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with this.  (And I was at G W, not Shady Grove, so I think my problem was with the whole IF field in general, actually.)  I wanted a more comprehensive, "let's see what your medical problem is," type of approach.  I felt (and continue to feel) like the IF field just pushes us all into the lockstep march of "Ok, let's do these tests, get you on clomid, that doesn't work?  ok, then we'll up you to IUI, that doesn't work?  ok, then we'll move on to IVF," routine.  I wish this field were better about looking into WHAT IS THE CAUSE of a particular couples' IF and TREATING THAT and then letting you go, problem solved, to happily procreate on your own. :)

I didn't feel that - we had a pretty comprehensive Q&A session with Dr G at GW.  But, IVF is our only option with the MFI we have, which I gather is much easier to diagnose than unexplained.  However, I do with there'd be a bit of "well, for the next three months try this (supplements, put him on clomid, whatever) but our morphology is so poor I doubt it would have done anything.  Which is eactly what Dr G said.

I do think that a husband providing a sample that day can save you a lot of heartache and time just in case - you never know.  My DH was born with undescended testicles, so we knew there'd be a significant chance of him having issues which is why went in right away when we started TTC - time is precious in fertility IMO so the more you know early on, the better.[/quote]
