Follow Up With RE

Ok so I realized I havn't posted in a little bit, so I will be back tracking a little.

On October 14th, 2010 I had an HSG done, initial diagnoses was that everything looked good. No tube blockages. On October 16, 2010. I started bleeding mid cycle. Stopped bleeding by Tuesday. Monday October 18, 2010 I went in an had a pelvic ultrasound. So with all my tests completed I scheduled a follow-up appointment for November 9, 2010.

Which brings me to today!

Our follow up appointment went great. HSG was normal, DH's sperm analysis was normal. I did have elevated levels of Testosterone and still show many follicles on ovaries.

What the Dr. explained to me is that my body is not producing a mature follicle each month. There for I am not ovulating on my own. So we have to make my body ovulate.

So this cycle I will be taking chlomid 100 mg on days 5 through 9 of my cycle. Having a mid cycle ultrasound done. That same day we will trigger ovulation. The next day we will be doing IUI.

Monthly Update

With AF arriving a few days ago I feel like I can breathe a little sigh of a relief. We can officially start over. I am temping this cycle and any following one's to get a better idea of what my body is doing.

Yesterday I went in and had whats called a 3 day blood test. I scheduled my HSG and pelvic ultrasound for the same day next week. Really hoping they will be able to do both. Didn't think to ask if I could have the ultrasound the same day as my HSG especially a few hours after I just had the procedure done.

As soon as everything is done I will be setting up an appointment to see the RE again to go over results and treatment plans.

First appointment with RE

So today I had an appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinologist. They asked some pretty simple questions. I am pretty thorough with my medical history. They had access to all my current medical records so it made things easier.

They had me take a urine pregnancy test. Came up negative.

I then had an exam where they did a simple swab of the cervix to make sure i have no STD's. I don't! They just want to make sure. Ugghh!

I consented to the Endometrial biopsy so they did that during the previous exam. Basically they put a catheter in your cervix suction out some cells. Takes about 30 seconds but its quite painful/bad cramps the 30 second suction I was squeezing Dh's finger.

After the Endometrial biopsy they did a sonogram took pictures of both fallopian tubes and look at the uterus, lining. Defiantly no baby in there right now.

They went over some things with us. DH was ordered to get a sperm analysis! He so didn't want to. Oh well hon. The RE wont even proceed till they have the results of it. Can take 2 weeks.

------------------

The RE prescribed me 10 days worth of progesterone to get period started.

So I am waiting for AF to start when it does I have to call the Doctor's office to schedule an Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test that will be done between days 4 & 12 of cycle.

Day 3 of cycle I have to go in and get blood work. If day 3 falls on a Saturday I go in Friday if it falls on a Sunday I go in Monday.

Also on the first day of my cycle I will be scheduling a pelvic ultrasound to include pelvic/abdominal. Not to sure what they are looking for then.

My blood pressure was pretty high today 139/82 so I have been ordered to keep an eye on it. Not sure how I can do that. Might have to make a few un-necessary trips to walgreens right down the road.

------

Dh's sperm analysis is scheduled for 9/30.

Anticipation

September 20, 2010 is drawing near. DH and I are looking forward to starting our journey with the reproductive endocrinologist. His command is allowing him to take the day off so he can come with me to my appointment.

Breaking News:

Apparently I am " Pregnant " and its not my husbands!

Can I please slap a bitch?

So whose baby is it then ...... THE GAY ROOM MATE slap ... slap ...

Just Because you cheated on your husband does not make us all cheaters you d'oh d'oh head!

Update

9/20/10 is the day of my first appointment with the infertility Doctor. Defiantly looking forward to it. Hoping my husband will be able to come to the appointment with me chances are he will not this first one, but will come with me for other one's.

We also put in an offer on a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath house. Double the square footage of what we are living in now.

Patience Is a virtue

This past Monday I went to my Dr's for a follow up appointment from last month. Aunt Flo still has not made her appearance. She last visited in May.

So with the history of PCOS and us trying to conceive for 6 months I finally convinced the Doctor to give me a referral over to an Infertility Specialist. A must for Tricare.

On Wednesday I called Tricare to set up an appointment with the referral. They gave me some disappointing news. There are no appointments till October. They would not schedule my appointment but in 2 to 3 weeks someone will call me and let me know when my appointment is! Wonderful! Ok not really but we are getting some were. Just not at the pace we want to be going.

Last night Hubby got a call from his Chief asking if he would volunteer to go to Bahrain for 270 days. Starting October 10, 2010. My husband turned it down. So proud of him!

Dissapointed

Yesterday I drove up to my obgyn's office and demanded a blood pregnancy test. Also inquired about my 6 month follow up appointment.

Nurse's words, "They did blood work at your last appointment, said everything was normal. No follow up needed."

Excuse the 'F' out of me. My Dr. told me she would see me in 6 months if I was not pregnant by then she would refer me outside the clinic. As they can pretty much do everything an ob does except pregnancy related issues.

Also told the Nurse look I am trying to get pregnant not prevent a pregnancy. I am a month and a half late. I have taken tons of pregnancy tests and they have all came back Negative. I have been diagnosed with PCOS.

So after demanding that they do a blood pregnancy test so I can see what is going on. They made me wait in the waiting room for an hour before they told me the Dr. put it in. So I walked over to lab they took some blood. I went home.

I have to call back next month to schedule my 6 month follow up appointment because get this I was 3 days early? Yup they only schedule appoints 30 days in advance. UGGHH

Woke up this morning called an on call nurse. They told me the test was NEGATIVE.

Not the best way to start off my day.
