just met with Dr Mohammed who seems to be great - and what i liked about him is he didnt try to push me into anything but laid out my options - one of which seems to be strongly pointing at IVF. I dont know whether to just bite the bullet and go with him (and proceed with IVF now or wait a bit longer) - or go to Dr Pankaj first for a 3rd opinion (i have already been to Dr Fakih) Any recommendations ladies? Anyone else got pregnant with Dr Mohammed? SO confused !!

Hi melinda Yes we did all 4 (actually 5 with this one!) of our IVF's through Dr Mohamed. After TTC unsuccessfully for some time we went to see Dr M for an inital consultation and general work up to see if we could identify any problems. DH is fine and all my bloodwork was ok and ovulating normally but the HSG (hysterosalpingogram - basically they inject die into your tubes and xray to see if everything's working) showed blocked fallopian tubes. Dr M said that we could either try an operation to open up the tubes and wait to see if it happened naturally or go straight to IVF. Statistically, the chances of the operation being successful were not great and we may have had to have IVF anyway after waiting another year and we were already into our thirties so decided to go straight to IVF. The first couple of unsuccessful cycles revealed that the secondary problem was my very thin womb lining which should be over 7mm in order for embryos to successfully implant (and ideally between 8-13mm) whereas mine barely got over 5. Tried various hormones and acupuncture to thicken it up but the magic cure for me was the Viagra which got it up to 9mm in a week :-) Again, this is my personal experience and every case is different but I would recommend that you have an initial consultation with Dr M to see what he says. If he doesn't think you need to do IVF yet he'll tell you - he's very good at giving you all the options and information and then letting you make your own decision. Wishing you the very best of luck and lots of baby dust :)

twinsmum! thanks so much yet again :) you are always so encouraging! i recall in a previous thread you mentioned you had 4 ivf cycles before success - would you mind me asking how you arrived at ivf and did u do you all 4 sessions with Dr Mo? Great news about their success rate - they dont publish them on their website so ive been wondering! Have my app booked in 10days - dont think i can wait that long! lol!

Hi Melinda Sorry, I meant to reply to this earlier but got sidetracked with boring old work. I've been with Dr Mohammed at DGFC since 2006 and conceived my twins with his help as well as the current one that is due next March! I can't recommend him and the team at DGFC highly enough! He is a genuinely lovely man who seems to care about his patients and you really feel like a person and not just a number with him. He's open-minded and willing to try different approaches (I ended up using Viagra to thicken my womb lining on both successful occasions which is a fairly experimental treatment although harmless but I know some doctors in the UK just refuse point blank to even consider it). The nurses are wonderful and so kind and supportive. Even the receptionists and the embryologists seem to be personally invested in the patients! I'll never forget how excited and happy they all were for us when we finally had a positive result. Overall the clinic has pretty high success rates (around 45-50%) which is well above worldwide averages. I wish you the very best of luck and hope to see you back here soon with a bfp! :-)
