Lovingwife, I hope everything works for you...
How often do you have to get the injectibles?
I've decided to stay off the clomid until I see the RE. But I fear that I will be diagnosed with something. I'm not a hypocondriac, but I can't help but wonder if it might be a hormone problem or insulin problem...
It makes even simple daily chores difficult, since my mind isn't in it.
Best to you!!!
Sandy

The RE may ask for another SA and the results from your HSG and ultrasound. They will probably do bloodwork to check for STDs and hormone levels and they should do day 21 bloodwork to check your progesterone to make sure you are ovulating. My RE did and internal exam and found some tenderness on my uterus. He suspected endometriosis and I just had a lap (laproscopic surgery) to diagnose and treat it. Not everyone has a lap. Only if your RE suspects endo. I had none of the classic symptoms and was completely shocked to find out that I had it!
I go to my OB/GYN in a few weeks for my annual. I'm really looking forward to telling her about the endo. She kept telling me I was fine and to just keep trying. Ha! I'll show her. Good luck and keep us posted. |
