Hello Dr.
I have a couple of questions Re IVF/PGD that I would like to undergo at the end of this year at Genesis.
I have two sons and no fertility problems that I know of. My only issue I had in both pregnancies was I suffered with Obstetric Cholastasis in the last trimester of both... the after effect being I can't go back on the combined pill because the hormones would have a similar effect on my liver. I can however go on the mini pill.
As far as I know with IVF/PGD you're meant to go on the pill (combined or not I'm not sure) to regulate your cycle and therefore know when to start the stims/drugs etc. What are the options for me??
Also, are the stims/drugs safe for me to take given my history/liver during pregnancy? It is safe for me to say that my liver is absolutely fine and I had a scan etc post pregnancies.
Will this condition (that I have a 60-80% chance of getting in subsequent pregnancies) have any affect on the IVF/PGD procedure?
Many thanks for your help.
