I've told people I am close to that I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that IVF was probably going to be the recommendation for our infertility. As I walked into the center that morning, the idea of IVF loomed in the back of my brain and approximately one hour later, after a check of my vitals and a complete review of my medical history IVF became our reality.
I am not against IVF and I wasn't against it walking in there that morning. However when we found out it was like a ton of bricks fell on us and all of a sudden everything started to happen so quickly. This feeling was enhanced by the documentation given to us to start reading the concepts behind IVF: ovulation stimulation, egg retrieval, insemination, fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer, and cryopreservation.
The doctor also performed a transvaginal ultrasound to analyze my uterus, ovaries, and fibroid. The fibroid is a little large compared to the overall size of my uterus - 3cm fibroid in my 7cm uterus. Next up is a hysteroscopy to take another look at the blockage and the fibroid to help determine if it should be removed before IVF.
