Starting from zero :Doctors Appointments Dr Gamal Mathias

I had a little break , I came back  to the gym to try to loose the 8 kg I gained  at the end of  the last pregnancy .. I think  I actually  gained the more  weight when I was winding down from the prednisone,

I think december  was very hard for me  .. not  only  because of my lost,   but  because  I had " retained product  " in my  uterus ...  I was very  stress out ...  I didn't know what  to do... do  what your  doctors  tell you or  just   follow  your  heart ....

So this month I did had a little  break of  thinking about  babies  or having a  family  :-P , but  who I am lying to ,  If I don't look for possible  treatments  myself , nobody is  gonna  do it for me .. 

So 15 days  ago my husband  read and article about surrogacy and then we  watched a bbc  show about  surrogacy in India ,  he though that surrogacy could be a good alternative  for us  as we dont  know whats  wrong with my  uterus ..  so I  actually  wrote to some of the surrogacy leaders in India, I contact  Dr Nayana,   they  were very helpful and  gave me some info  online  about their  surrogacy programs 

but at the end  . I really like  it .  but  at the end  $28k  is just too much for  us , especially  right now that only  MrB is working and not me , I have  been  working  super hard  sending my  cv's and selling things in my  2  ebay sites  but is just gonna be almost impossible to pay 28k in 9 months ... 

I did  contacted other surrogacy programs in Thailand, Vietnam  , India, but all of them   are  about the same  price   :-(  .. I am still waiting for a ivf clinic in Colombia that has a similar program , but they haven't answer  to me yet

So I came back to  plan A :  investigate  what's  wrong with me .   Should I go overseas,  Should I stay , I am so  confuse I dont  even know where to start again .

so I called Dr Gamal Matthias  in sydney , I will have a phone appointment with the doctor , this will cost me $300. Dr Matthias is an specialist in Reproductive  Immunology, I choose him  coz I read about him in some of the forums ,  I wanted to see  Dr Sacks  but  he doesn't do phone appointments  and It would cost me at least  $1000 to travel to Sydney and back and then pay for  tests on top . 

with doctor mathias  I will be  discussing  new tests  and possible  treatments .

I also Contact  Ivf Australia , I will be having an appointment with  Dr Ron Chang , it will cost me  $190 .  With Dr Chang  I will be  discussing  if is possible to have a Hysteroscopy /laparoscopy to check that everything is alright  down there  and that I don't have  any  Fibroids  (as one of the  ultrasound technicians  suggested  I probably had , as  he couldn't  see properly lining of my endometrium .. this happen at the ultrasound of the 31 of  december )  I am just  hoping  Dr chang has  successful experiences in women with Unexplained recurrent miscarriages .

with  doctor chang Ill be  discussing the possibility of  having  Ivf  with PGD/PGD-aCGH , prices etcetera. 

So , my ebay sales will be all going to  this specialist appointments I guess  ,

 I am very  interested in the Ivf  with aCGH  to be able choose the best embryos  and ruled out the possibility of  chromosomal abnormalities .

I feel little bit  left  behind  because  I know  all this treatments are very expensive, I know that we can't  afford them right now  :-( 

Thats why I also contact  some of the clinics in thailand , they seem to have very update  technology  and more reasonable prices than Australia .   I particularly like  one  , they seem to be  quite complete , joining the  immunology and the ivf in one same place , but I still have to  register with them to  know the costs . 

I also contact  some of the clinics in Colombia , I found  one  to be the most  I like , their  Ivf includes aCGH  cost about  8k  so is  not  that bad .
