Iui cancelled, onto IVF due to genetic carrier issue
My husband and I have been experiencing infertility after having a 21 week loss back in April, and then a 6 week mc in September. We started seeing a fertility specialist to do all the testing and come up with a plan, and we were supposed to do an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> this cycle. We got our genetic screening results back last week and after starting Letrozole, found that we are both carriers for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, which can apparently be very bad. Our future children have a 25% chance of getting this disease (we already have a 2 year old son who does not have it).
I went in for my ultrasound today to see if I'm ready for the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>, and even though I was ready to do it, my doctor advised we don't do it, to give us time to think about if we want to continue with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>'s or go right to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> since we could test the embryos. I'm so upset, the 21 week loss was devastating and it's been almost a year now since we got pregnant with her, I was excited to try this step to have a better chance of getting pregnant this month. Now to go through <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> and testing it's going to take 8 weeks to even be able to transfer anything....ugh!
This whole year has been one disappointment after another. Obviously I'm glad we caught this and can try to avoid future children getting this disease. If we didn't see the doctor and get tested we could have potentially conceived naturally and passed along this disease. Maybe the reason I've gone through everything I have this year is so we could find out about this and prevent passing it on.
Has anything been through anything like this? And had success with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>?
