yet more tests....

Had my mid cycle scan and all appeared to be clear, have to go for a saline scan - where they fill my uterus with saline to have a good look round...didn't sound that nice or comfortable, but they want to be absolutely sure that everything in there is OK.  And I was right - it was awful!  The Dr had huge difficulty in getting the catheter into my uterus and as a result the saline wouldn't go in and went everywhere, and he kept rooting around trying to get it in which hurt like hell... I was in agony, I was crying it hurt that much, but he did eventually get it in and have a look around, and everything was fine (thank God).

So now we should be good to go on our last ever IVF cycle.  Though I think we may have to wait a little while before we do.

Another appointment

Went to see Dr Shehata today after another disappointing round of fertility treatment.

Decided to give it one last chance with IVF, but this time to use all available known interventions to try and overcome the Natural Killer (NK) cell problem, so have been scheduled to have a mid cycle scan done in July to double check my uterus to ensure that everything looks as it should do, and that there has been no damage done to the internal workings as a result of IVF and the 2 miscarriages.
