Am I missing anything?

So the first step was to get my blood testing done for hormone levels. Check. The second step was for me to get an HSG done (ouch!). Check. The OB said there was one tube with some blockage but the dye pushed it's way through, so now all we have to do is wait.

She also recommended a fertility moniter, ClearBlue Easy. I just got it the other day and am waiting for my next cycle to start using it, if this time around is unsuccessful. And DH is going in tomorrow for a SA test

Are we missing any steps? I always feel like I could be doing something more, despite what the doctors tell us. Also, has anyone ever used the Clearblue Easy fertility moniter? rants or ravs?

I hear the Clear Blue Easy monitors are very good, but have never used them myself.

I had a friend who had the dye to check for blockage, and her RE informed her that she needed to try to conceive as soon as possible. For some reason, having that dye run through makes you a little more likely to conceive! At least that was what she was told.

Honestly I think you've covered your bases. You've gotten a good start on the testing. Praying your hubby's sperm analysis comes back normal!
