I'll phone my clinic tomorrow and touch base about this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1880723 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:18:07 +0000 mrs. bird 1880723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: would having one be a problem? my PCP books really far out, so it can be tricky if i need one quickly, but they can do them at my RE's office when needed. it might just be an ins thing, some ins might require it prior to authorization. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1880708 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:05:39 +0000 winter_wonder 1880708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindsayinny: Just a normal, thorough physical. My RE only required a pap, hsg, and CD 21 blood work before IUI. I guess I'm just feeling like it might be a good idea to have a physical before moving to IVF.</p> <p>@mrs. bird: I've been reading through some of the initial paperwork but I haven't seen anything about a physical. Just some additional blood work. But, perhaps they'll notify me about this (or I can ask) at our appointment about IVF at the end of October. </p> <p>Thanks for your input ladies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878605 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 09:32:52 +0000 alohaorchid 1878605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The clinic here makes you have an HSG, blood work (there's a list of things they check for), ultrasounds, and a regular physical exam before moving onto IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878490 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:09:03 +0000 mrswin 1878490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a physical with my GP about 6 months before our IVF cycle started. The only things that were required was a SHG, CD3 blood work, a repeat AMH and AFC and infectious disease screening blood work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878477 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 08:02:05 +0000 Sunshine1810 1878477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a full physical, but that's because I had so many appointments and tests run through the RE's office. They did make me do a small physical to clear me for retrieval before each of my cycles. My RE had a whole list of tests she needed to do before I started IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878426 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 07:10:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1878426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a physical </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878202 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 21:38:37 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1878202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any a physical, but I don't think it's a bad idea! Especially if you have any chronic medical issues or concerns, it's probably worthwhile to have an overall check-up (but moreso pre-pregnancy than pre-IVF). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878195 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 21:33:23 +0000 PurplePumps 1878195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a yearly physical with my primary care, but my RE did not require any sort of physical work up, only the diagnostic testing related to fertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878183 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 21:21:22 +0000 mrs. bird 1878183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually your RE has a list of things they require before IVF, i know for mine, an up to date physical was one of those things. we weren't unexplained IF, but it was required just the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878178 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 21:18:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1878178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like a normal physical or something special/specific? I had a normal physical done before we started IUIs and all was well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-complete-physical-before-starting-ivf#post-1878176 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 21:16:04 +0000 winter_wonder 1878176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering if any bees with unexplained infertility underwent a complete physical before moving to ivf? We've had 3 failed IUIs now. I'm wondering if I should have some sort of complete physical workup done before we spend the $$ on ivf.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
