Hubby never wanted kids.....to get him on board was a struggle it self,,,,.
In 2010 we decided to seek help after many failed attempts and getting hopes up every month. We made an appointment with Dr H at Kloof fertility center for the 9 June 2011 and we where very excited to find the problem and sort it out once and for all.
At the appointment Dr.H did a ultrasound which proved what i was semi expecting that i have Black Pearls(cyst) around both my ovaries and was advised to to a laprascopy and a hystoscopy and ovarian drilling.
I was devastated at the news-DH was send for an SA and we would get the results in two weeks time. The Opt was scheduled on the 19 June 2011 and i was so scared.
We did the op and it was not so bad as i expected it, and the news was good that all which must be in place is in place and in working order no evidence of endo.
Two week later we went for our Follow up appointment and it was devastating news all over again.
DH got his SA results back and his count was very low 100 000. Dr.H advised us that our only option is ICSI and that our success rate is between 60-70% and gave us a quote of R30 000.
We where shocked we didn't have R30 000 laying around spare, and knew if we would manage to get the money that we would only be able to do one cycle.

To my chock our Doctor...informed me that with my chances , he would rather suggest i buy a new car than try and get a baby. Heart shatters into pieces there.
We contemplated on all our options and this is where we started to Google.

My Mom Suggested Goverment Hospital.
I phoned the Steve Biko Government hospital and was graved a appointment three months later and was told that DH have to start stamina grow. Yay we had a plan. We met with a lovely Dr. Singe and must say we loved her compassion and determination from the start.
At the appointment DH did another SA and the results was better-800 000. It was the best feeling ever to know that thing was improving slowly but surely.
Dr Sing gave us the option to do long or short protocol cycle.
Long protocol
Price- R22000
High stimulation of the ovaries
Short protocol
Price-R8000.00
Low stimulation of the ovaries
We asked her what protocol we must do and she said we must try the short protocol because i had ovarian drilling........we where so ecstatic.
Hopefully starting our first ICSI in August 2011. Almost a year since we first started seeking help.
7 years of trying ....let the fun and games begin.
