You guys are all so wonderful!
I had my first appointment with the fertility Dr. 3 weeks ago. Just found out today the results of the first tests (general blood work and pap.) So frustrating that it took this long and I had to call them, they didn't call me. I can't help but think if they'd been quicker then I'd be 3 weeks closer to getting pregnant.. sigh. Just super frustrating.
My pap came back positive for bacteria, which I was originally told that since I'm having no symptoms they wouldn't treat it. But today was told that since i'm TTC the Dr. wants to go ahead and treat it. So, they've prescribed medication for that. Atleast I have no symptoms.
Most of my hormone levels came out ok, she said my DHEA levels were a bit low and that I definitely had PCOS.
He's starting me on Prometrium to induce a period since I can't even remember the last time I had one. Before I start that I have to go to the lab tomorrow for a pregnancy test, which is just silly because I don't ovulate but I guess it's a safety thing.
Once I have a period I'm supposed to call the Dr. back to set up the HSG test to check for blockages.
I'm supposed to make an appointment with a dietician for the PCOS and high cholesterol as well.
Why does it have to be so difficult and time consuming? I'm not a patient person. I've been waiting 10 years, long enough I say!
Oh, my husbands sperm results were all good so now we know that it's definitely just me. I'm happy he has no issues but it's so depressing to know that I'm the reason we don't have a child.
I'm still waiting for him to contact my rheumatologist regarding the antiphospholid syndrome. My RA Dr. had diagnosed me with it a few years ago and put me on aspirin daily (which I haven't taken for over a year..eep!) I'm so confused about that as well. When she told me I had it she didn't really go into detail about it and I didn't think it was anything serious. Of course now I know that having it is a very serious and dangerous condition when TTC.
I feel a tiny bit of relief knowing that I'm at least on my way, however small the step but it's hard to stay positive.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the prometrium will work quickly so I can move to the next step as soon as possible.
