My fiance dropped me off at the general hospital of Brugge. He has a meeting so I have to do the first meeting with our new fertility doctor alone.
He's a skinny, not-so-tall man who wears eyeglasses. He called my name and I was really surprised it did not took me forever to wait in the waiting area. He has read my files already and went straight to how he would handle our situation.
He would want to:
- do a hysteroscopy to check if everything is still okay with my uterus and see how the salpingectomy was done.
- do a series of blood tests to check if i have clotting problems, hormones that are not being produced sufficiently
- start of with a whole new hormonal stimulation layout
- in case of overstimulation, he will wait for a month before he will do the transfer. That way my ovaries will have the time to go back to its regular size and my uterus will go to normal as well.
A few weeks later my fiance came along with me and met him for the first time. He is a bit sceptical about starting up with a new hormonal scheme because we are never really sure how my body reacts to it. He would as much as possible want to avoid hyperstimulation and avoid another losing cycle. So our fertility doctor said, "I work part time in Jette at the university hospital of Brussels. I will take your medical files in there if you agree and discus it with my colleagues to be able to provide you the best treatment possible." Which we agreed on. The fertility clinic of the UZ Brussel is very well-known however it is 105 kilometers from our home.
Whilst waiting for further information from UZ Brussel, we started with the tests that Dr. Van De Vijver advised us to do. My hysteroscopy was normal and my blood tests as well, except for my Thyroids that is having troubles producing enough hormones causing my TSH gland to work at its maximum to cope up.
On our third meeting with Dr. Van De Viyver, we both decided to have our third cycle done with him. UZ Brussel suggested the same procedure as he would but with higher dosage.
