Hi All,

I'm new to this group and hope to see wonderful people here. Working as an accountant in DAFZA.
My concern is we have been trying to conceive for 4 years and last year I met Doctor Elizabeth in Medeor Hospital. My periods were irregular but for the past 3 months I have been getting my periods regularly which is a positive sign. Twice I have been given femara and once tried ovidrel injection as advised by our doctor. But all these were unsuccessful, the doctor has asked my husband to take a semen analysis and she said accordingly we will need to consult an IVF specialist.

I wanted your suggestions on if I should go for a second opinion or should I directly meet an IVF specialist. I'm really upset on this, i'm loosing hopes and desperately need a child in our life. If I should meet an IVF specialist whom should I go to? I stay in Sharjah, i'm also over weight because of PCODs and reduced upto 8 kgs but looks like my weight is stuck now and doesn't go down anymore. But I havent gained weight after the 8kg reduction as well.

Feeling really hopeless and upset. Please help me dears.

Thanks & Regards
Disya

Thanks & Regards Disya Hi Disya, I am sorry to read of the situation you find yourself in. My husband and I also had trouble conceiving naturally so we went straight to an ivf specialist. They will do all the necessary tests at your first meeting to determine if you need iui/ivf or not. They will do the semen analysis on your husband, an ultrasound for you and blood tests for you both. Once they have done these they will know how to proceed. I know how confused/upset/scared you must be feeling as I too felt that way. My advise is to go see a specialist and once you do, you will feel a lot better. You will have results/answers to consider and then can decide what is best for you and your husband. Good luck.
