Hi,

I have just been referred to IVF Canada and wondered if there was anyone else out there who has recently been there or there right now. These posts are a few years old so I figured I would start up a new conversation. I will be going for an ultrasound very shortly for my tubes and then my first consultation.

Anyone else out there? :)
Me: 29 DH: 31
Dx: Husband's count due to radiation treatment when he was 20
(He banked before! Thank goodness for good doctors! We are blessed that have the option)
TTC: since April 2010
April 2011: recommended straight to IVF (best use of the banked "men", esp. if we are planning on having more then one)& have made the decision to be referred to Mount Siani.
May 2011: Sonography & u/s completed
June 7: Tubes are open, we are heading to IVF
Waiting: referral to Mount Siani, July 13 (5wks) still nothing :(
August 4: consultation complete! heading straight to IVF/ICSI using banked men.
August 11: Day 3 u/s & blood & met the nurse for my calendar
Start bcp for 27 days
September 2: start 0.2 suprefact
September 6: stop taking bill
September 11: cycle u/s & blood work complete and I'm on track start 100 Puregon
September 15: u/s & bw lining looking good, 10+ measurable on each side....here we go
September 18: u/s & bw lining on track, 10 follies measuring between 1.0-1.6 on each side!
September 20: u/s & bw lining on track, 10 follies measuring between 1.6-2.4 on each side! Trigger Time....9:00pm
September 22: ER complete.....23 eggs, 17 fertilized and made it to D4
September 27: ET one perfect grade embryo transferred. 5 made it to freeze
October 7: beta 275 BFP
October 9: beta 585!
October 10-26 - continue to experience issues with OHSS and bursting cysts in my right ovary. 3 hospital visits in a week. Put on Tylenol/Gravol/Oxycodone combination for at home pain management!
October 22: got to see the baby on u/s and heartbeat

Hi!

I cycled at IVF Canada for a few years & left this past year after several unsuccessful attempts.

If you want details, you can PM me & I'm happy to share my experience there.

Update: received our IVF Canada paperwork last night. It was very informative and easy to understand. It was weird to read about all the non-funded fees we will have to start paying. Makes you appreciate OHIP! To bad OHIP doesn't cover male factor issues. Seems a shame that they will cover if a women's tubes are blocked, but not if the male has a low sperm count....ponder
