Going back to fertility clinic for one more round. And perhaps the life insurance from my mom's death can pay for Dr b to do his testing. So much money :/

So sorry to hear of your mom. Thinking of you.
Thanks Atomic.
Im not throwing in the towel yet. Going back to my fertility clinic in march, they listed off all the immunology tests they did (wow there were a lot!) And all was good. Maybe my eggs are crappy. Im going to ask for clomid, i hear it increases egg quality.
Anyone know if a CT scan with injected dye can wreck your eggs?
Sorry to read this. Have you had tests for other possible causes?
Your eggs are pretty well protected from all but the most horrific nuclear accidents. THey have us wear lead shields for X-rays as preventative measures, not because one such procedure will hardboil your eggs. :)
Clomid is not always best for older moms - can you ask about Femara, it may be better (altho not all docs will prescribe.) It also sways pink and is better odds of conception than Clomid for those over 35.
Huh. Thanks for the femera tip.
The ct scan they injected the radiation dye so it went through my entire body. They inly scanned my head. But the dye circulates everywhere which is why i wondered. However the mcs started before that anyway, by a couple of years. Just wondering if anyone knew.
So sorry, that's beyond devestating :( First thing that comes to mind is you may have clotting issues? But only a doctor can tell you after testing if that's a problem for you. I wish you all the best and hope you'll have another healthy baby.
Im sure this is going to seem very obvious, but you have had progesterone all checked out and thyroid for that matter? I don't know a lot about fertility beyond my own experience so just wanted to throw it out there. So sad that you can create the babies yet they don't stick :( x
The dye that they use for a CT is not radioactive. It does go throughout the body and is filtered out by your kidneys but the only radiation (x-rays) come from the CT machine itself. It's relatively safe unless you are allergic to it or your kidneys aren't functioning properly and the body just sees it like a waste product and excretes it.
I really hope they can find a simple cause for this soon. I'm so sorry you had to go through this :(
OMG! I'm at the regional fertility clinic in Calgary too! Or at least I was. Sorry, I never had to go the immunology route, so unsure if they do those tests, but I have a feeling they do.Quote:
