i woke up as early as 4:30 this morning so i can have my hormone tests before i go to work. i decided to go to new world lab / mediscan since i knew its location. i went to taft ave branch with P who decided its time to know what his blood type is (yes, it took this long!).
i took the female hormone package and here's the breakdown:
estradiol (E2) = Php 1,013.70
FSH = Php 409.20
LH = Php 474.30
Progesterone = Php 1,116.00
Prolactin = Php 486.00
==============================
Total = Php 3,500.00
we both had blood typing with rh factor as well. that costs php130 each. the tests weren't really advised by my own RE. but since i sent out emails on ivf inquiring about the tests needed before the actual treatment, i thought maybe i should have the test now. if they found any problems, then i have the next few months fixing my hormones... and saving money at the same time. im not sure when i'll get the results but im hopeful everything will be ok.
the ivf center i inquired also required sperm analysis which P already took. he was diagnosed with teratospermia and hyperzoospermia. teratospermia means that the morphology of the sperms is low. normal count, according to kruger morphology should be 14%, hubby only has 7%. but recently i've read somewhere that its already updated by WHO and they lowered the normal count to 4%. sperm counts of greater than 250 million/ml is are referred to as hyperzoospermia and could also cause infertility.
i will post my research on the sperm analysis when i have the time.
baby dust to all!
