We have our first appt. with a RE soon...
This is my first time on this website. A friend at work suggested the site. I have an appt soon with a RE and I was wondering if anyone had some advice about the appt. or questions that I should ask that I don't know.
This is my story:
I had a normal cycle before I got on birth control at 17 because of heavy periods and cramping. I using some form of the pill till I was 24. In Jan 04, I started using Depo- Provera and got off of it in Jan 05 because of swelling and weight gain (60 lbs). While on the pill, I had a normal cycle every month and on Depo a light period for a week before my next shot. Now that I stop taking a form of birth control no cycle.
In Oct 05, I started seeing a ob/gyn for the lack of a cycle. It was my family doctor that put me on the shot and didn't seem concern that I wasn't have a period in 10 months. The ob/gyn started me on 21 days of estrogen, then 7 days of progesterone and we waited 14 days for a cycle. I did this for 3 months.... nothing. I was a hormoral case with all the crying through the whole thing. I am surprise my husband put up with me. The third month I had a little shedding, so the ob/gyn put me on birth control... nothing after the 21 days... so then, progesterone... nothing. We did this cycle of hormores for about 7 months with no cycle.
I almost forgot... some time along the way there were US and Sonograms of my tubes and uterus. Everything was normal. We even saw my eggs, just hanging doing nothing. When my husband saw my eggs he responsed "there's our kids". We didn;t know then what we know now.
Last month, I had an HSG done. It was horrible! I don't wish that on anyone. I didn't do well at all. (I also have vestibulitis which made it worst.)My co-worker had only a little discomfort. The test was normal.
I then had a full blood panel done. My FSH levels was the lowest my ob/gyn had seem. All other levels were within normal range. So, she referred me to a RE. We have our first appt. July 13. I am a little nervous about the whole thing.
