Tests, tests and more tests

Well, the appointment yesterday went well. I really like this Dr. He's quite nice...has a horrible comb over, but he's really nice. Actually, all the staff that I met yesterday was wonderful and helpful.

So he went over my entire history and pretty much said that he is going to be putting me through more tests. First, he wants to check my hormone levels on the third day of my next cycle...on that exact day, no earlier, no later. I guess that determines how many good eggs I have. Then on the 7th day of that cycle, I am to go do a hystersalpingogram to check and see if my tubes are in fact open. He was really surprised that my prior doctors had not performed those tests on me. Once those are done, he will most likely start me on fertility shots. I guess that clomid increases your chances for pregnancy just the first 3-4 months, after that, it decreases your chances. Go figure.

So that's where we are. If I don't have a period by September 25th, I am to do a pregnancy test. If it's negative, I am to start progesterone again to get my period and then do the tests like he said. If it's positive, well, our work is done. He does not want me to use clomid anymore, but he does want me to continue with the dreaded Glucophage...and the gassy-ness continues!

I just hope that my insurance covers some of this stuff. Thankfully, it covered yesterday's consult. As for the hystersalpingogram, they put my diagnosis as "irregular menses", not 'infertility" so hopefully the insurance will cover it.

So, once again, it's wait and see all over again
