Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.
I am 30, as is my dh. We've been TTC about 20 months now, with no hint of a bfp. We were found to have mild male factor/unexplained, but after three months of hundreds of pills, dh's morphology is now 10% (was 3-4%). So I guess now totally unexplained.
Anyway, we are going for ivf soon, and are private as we live abroad. In our consultation the doctor said he'd recommend long protocol for us, but the reasons he gave were
-easier to time around commitments we have
-potential early natural lh surge on short protocol
Re the first, we only have issues with timing in April (if we do LP), as dh may have to go abroad at short notice. My understanding is you need 2 weeks notice to stim even on LP.
So given this, that we'd rather do it in March, that there are less drugs involved, and a quicker process my question is:
Does anyone know why you'd want to do LP? How common is the second risk? Our doctor would do either for us, and I will email with these questions, but just wondering what other people know, and your experiences.
Thanks!
