Know a good Fertility specialist in Seattle\Redmond\Bellevue\Kirkland area?

Hi ladies.. hope u all r well.

I am residing in Bellevue\Redmond and would really appreciate if anyone could suggest me with confidence, a good Fertility doctor.. We are ttc for 11-12 months.. i did see a specialist and came to know that my DH has low sperm count and 33% motility. For me, she just did intravaginal ultrasound and told that my follicles are 12 or 13 whereas it should be 18 or more. I was suggested to go for IUI.

Dont get confused with my city/state.I moved to Bellevue 2 months back and dis not change the details since then.

Plz share your experience with any Seattle\Redmond\Bellevue\Kirkland fertility docs and suggest best one.
Thanks

Hello Girls, I have some news to share. Finally the fertility treatments worked and am pregnant and things are going smoothly and I have crossed 3 month mark. My problems have been recurrent miscarriage and unexplained infertility. After almost 2 yrs this method gave us the news we were waiting to hear. I am disclosing it here so that it might be useful to some fellow TTC girls. Am sorry to give too much of info, but if atleast one person found this protocol useful, I will consider myself useful. This is what the doc recommended for girls nearing 30 and are in TTC. So..some of us in that situation and TTC, please consider Injectables and IUI for quicker results PLEASE.

1. Injectables - Follitism 700 IU divided amongst 5-6 days
2. Husband on Dabur chavanprash and multivitamins for 2 months and abstained from ejaculation for 3 days before IUI. No running, hot showers for him for 1 month before the IUI and no tight underpants for him from time immemorial.
3. Observed good quality cervical mucus - Egg white consistency during injectable and 1 day after.
4. U/S for follicle growth regularly.
5. Injection HCG shot.
6. 2 back to back IUIs - Gap of 24 hrs.
7. Cut down coffee and tea completely after periods.
8. Drank lots of hot water throughout to improve CM.
9. Had Panneer and tofu rich food after IUI
10. Rest for 3 days after IUI. Not even cooking and going near hot stoves.
11. After 2 days of second IUI, started taking progesterone supplements - Vaginal supplements. Oral supplements also help if you are unsure and worried about vaginal supplements. But..Please ask your doc about this. I really think this helped save my baby. Took this for 10 weeks and then progesterone injection for 2 more weeks. So..12 weeks progesterone protocol continued.
12. I had some mild clotting disorders ( Women suffering from Miscarriage - PLEASE check for this). So, took an injection called Lovenox everyday for this for 2 weeks from 31 days of pregnancy. This is probably the most painful part...the injection itches and burns like hell and you have to do it everyday yourself around your stomach or your thighs. Women who have had miscarriages or unexplained infertility - Please check for this specifically with your Obgyns. These disorders are easy to fix, but when unfixed can cause very early miscarriages and can be a pain in the wrong place.
13. 2 days after the IUI, started having a slice of pineapple everyday for next 8 days. I finished 2 whole pineapples in this time. Stopped it after that. Try this girls..It has worked for many friends of mine and now..for me.
14. No hot water showers and baths during the 2 WW.
15. No lifting heavy weights during 2WW.

Well...This is all I did and after the initial scares and heartaches things are now going fine and doctor has reduced the miscarriage chances as I have crossed the first trimester. Just wanted to inform this to our girls. Do not lose hope girls...I have been there....Done that...Gone through many miscarriages, many more heartaches, have given up hope manytimes...have been frustrated many times...but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Some aggressive help from our OBGYN is all we need. Please ask any questions regarding the procedure..Will try to give answers as far as I am aware.
