Hello ladies,
I went to my first RE visit. He wants me to get a day 2 blood test to check FSH and Estradiol (<-sp?)and this other test called MIS which is new and very good at checking quality of eggs..Most insurances do not cover it yet but it is cheap..$75 The bloodtest will be between Aug 28-31 (looking ahead on FF for next AF)
I have to get a HSG between CD 5-10 which is August 3rd - 8th. I had it before back in '98 and all was clear but he wants me to do another one. He gave my Doxycycline to take the day before, day of and day after. He also gave me Motrin 800mgs.
He said even though I have been trying for 6 years....I should really count from DH's Varicocele surgery which was Oct '05 (about 10 months). He said if I am not pregnant by October that he will look to putting me back on Clomid.
This is what he said about my clomid history. The first and second cycle was the wrong time and wrong dose for someone who ovulates (1st - 50mg 5-9, 2nd 50mgs 2-6) but the 3rd cycle was fine at 100 mgs CD1-5.
Best part....he told me no more temping, no more OPKs....what am I going to do with myself?????? He said that its clear that I am ovulating (I showed him my charts). He told me to BD on CD 10, 12, 14, 16. I usually O between CD13-15 anyway.
So that is pretty much it. I have to call back tomorrow to schedule my HSG and I will not know for sure until at the end of the month when to schedule blood tests.
Oh, and the positive HPT that I had last month for a day..he said that I most likely was pregnant and it just didnt stick and said that is why he *tries* to tell women not to test until their period is due.
Thank you everyone for asking!!!

Hey Lisa!
Sounds like things are really getting better. I'm sure you're relieved to get the ball rolling on your tests and everything. I hope things work out for you! And since you don't have to chart anymore, you'll just have to keep yourself busy by posting here... we all love obsessing and chatting here! ;)
Good luck and keep us posted!!

Hello,
Thank you Robin! I havent posted as much lately because NY has been 103 degrees and the room my computer is in doesnt have an air conditioner...I HATE THE HEAT. I am a winter person all the way! LOL
I scheduled another HSG for Monday. I had one in 1998 but that was along time ago. I dont mind doing it again. It is weird not temping. I do use FF for the calender and I fill in everything else but my temp. I do have alot of time left before it expires so I have do something with it.
I will definately be posting here and responding other posts still.
