Pre-Frozen #5 Appointment with Dr Sadhana

Met my doctor yesterday and it was probably the most fruitful 10 minutes in her room since I started IVF. DH said the consultation fee was totally worth it because I asked so many questions. At first, I just wanted to go through the motion of seeing her so as to move on to the next cycle, but I ended up pouring out all my questions.

Dr Sadhana views that there is very low possibility that I have implantation issue because Frozen #1 was successful. Thus, it is more likely the embryo(s) that were not able to continue growing. According to her, there is no way to determine if the problem is with the egg or the sperm. The PGS trial is currently on hold because of the withdrawal of the test kits, so I don't have this option to test the embryos too. As opposed to Dr Roland's suggest for me to go through laparoscopy, she advised that the procedure diagnoses endometriosis and even if I indeed have endometriosis, the solution is still to go for IVF without the need to correct the problem. Thus, laparoscopy is not going to be useful for me. She would only give me the option to go for saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) to check for polyps.

Interesting, the forum was actively discussing about Dr Roland Chieng only recently. (In the past, it's always Dr HH Tan and Dr SF Loh who are often mentioned.) Dr Roland's staff called yesterday too to inform that DH's sperm DNA fragmentation test result is out. Next appointment with him at the end of the month. At the same time, as advised by several ladies in the forum, I've also booked an appointment in early July with Dr Sheila Vasoo to check for auto-immunity problem.
