Have you had an HSG yet? I was ovulating, but my left tube is blocked and my right one is partially so. We went right to IVF because that was the only way the eggs and sperm were ever going to get together.
Is your doc an OB-GYN or an RE? If he's an OB, you might consider finding an RE.
If you should end up considering IVF, one bit of advice is to try to find a clinical trial that would cover some or all of the expenses. I didn't, but then was looking around online last night and wished I'd done that several thousand dollars ago. There's also a really reasonably-priced IVF clinic in NY. Even with travel it would be cheaper than what we're doing.
Sorry for rambling, just hoping you could maybe learn from someone else's experience if that's the boat you find yourself in. Good luck at your f/u appt! I hope your doc has some answers for you.
