RE, here I come!

I had my appointment with my OB yesterday. Nothing to exciting to report. They took my blood for the cd21 progesterone draw, I should have those results Monday. I met with the doc, and she said that she would recommend Clomid for another few months and she would like to do a HSG. Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that examines the inside of uterus and fallopian tubes and the surrounding area. It often is done for women who are unable to become pregnant (infertile). During a hysterosalpingogram, a dye called contrast material is injected through a thin tube that is inserted through the vagina into the uterus. Because the uterus and the fallopian tubes are connected, the contrast material will flow into the fallopian tubes. As the contrast material passes through the uterus and fallopian tubes, continuous X-ray pictures are taken. The pictures can reveal problems such as an injury or abnormal structure of the uterus or fallopian tubes, or blockage that would prevent an egg passing through a fallopian tube from reaching the uterus. Blockage also could prevent sperm from traveling into a fallopian tube and fertilizing an egg. A hysterosalpingogram also may detect abnormalities on the inside of the uterus that might prevent a fertilized egg from attaching (implanting) to the uterine wall. See an illustration of a hysterosalpingogram. (taken from webmd)

I am scheduled for the HSG March 9th. She said that if all appears normal, she would then refer me to an RE. I called the RE's office that I had been in contact with last week, and scheduled and appointment for the 23rd. That appointment is a 2 hour appointment to take a history and develop a game plan. I am looking forward to that!

In the meantime, I will not be continuing the Clomid. The side effects were just to much. I have a herbal supplement called Ovulex that I have about a months worth of, and I will take that next month in addition to an herbal FertiliTea. This next cycle should be a bit of a relaxation before we start with the RE.
