In looking over your lab testing –Simi is CMV negative for both IGG and IGM.
M is CMV IGG ( antibody ) positive –which is a most common finding for this virus.
The requirements by the FDA state that all parties must meet with infectious disease counseling to discuss potential passing of CMV to Simi and the unborn baby .
Simi –you can see someone close to home. N and M – we have a Dr Rensimer here in the Memorial complex that has seen couples in this situation . Simi and Rick can also see Dr Rensimer if they choose to .
Speedbump but not a roadblock –just an FDA requirement. There will be a consent signed acknowledging that we’ve addressed all this .

I'm familiar with CMV, mostly because as a rare CMV-negative adult, the blood banks are happy to have me donate because my blood can be used with newborns and medically fragile people. I don't perceive my being negative as a significant risk to me or a baby I carry, but I'm certainly willing to have a specialist tell me about it.
The first infectious disease specialist I called only sees HIV and AIDS patients-- thankfully unapplicable. So now I've left a message with another office, Austin Infectious Disease Consultants. The front desk person referred me to the one of the nurses when she heard I was just trying to have one consult appointment, rather than to establish care (which requires a whole bunch of paperwork). Barb says that this has to be completed before we can start our calendar, so we're on a super-short turn-around. I think my next cycle will start a week from today. I would *hate* to have things delayed because of a silly thing like this. Hopefully M and I can both get squeezed in for an appointment this week.
Otherwise, all is well. Still on Provera through Saturday. Really hoping we're still able to transfer in May!
