Chronic Ama

Another expensive, failed test at returning to normalcy. FML.... The HSG test a few weeks ago came back normal. I have a healthy uterus and no blockage. Great news! So, I started ovulating on the 15th, which was confirmed with ultrasound. On the 19th, I got a shot of HCG to help with ovulation. Yesterday, I went back for blood work to check my progesterone levels. The level came back at 0.9, which was negative for ovulation. Really?!?! I feel like what's the point now. I've also been miserable for going on three days now with horrible nausea. At least I'm not puking anymore. I think my drop in hormones is making my stomach do turns. I have to wait two weeks to get back to the doctor to see what the next course of actions is. I fear it will be a laproscopy, which they put off since it looked like I was ovulating. I would love to go back to a regular doctor that won't cost me an arm and a leg, but I know that no progress will be made. I just need it suck it up and play th

I spent the first part of my day nervous about this HSG test. Luckily, I have a friend who works in radiology and I was able to call the tech doing the test to ask questions. It helped put my mind at ease. The test was quick and easy. My husband, Mark, got to be in the room with me. He made everyone laugh with his quirky little comments. He also got to wear an ultra-cool superman lead apron. Yes, there's a picture of it on Facebook. I got a few bad cramps during the test and I'm still having bad cramps. I'm just mostly cranky and uncomfortable right now. The doctor said there were not blockages in my fallopina tubes and everything looked fine. Now, we just need to get me to ovulate like normal. I have a follow up appointment this Thursday to see what we do next. It's time for me to get back to the couch. Moving around isn't helping the cramps and I need some good brain rotting TV to relax me. Haha! We shall see what this week brings...

Yesterday I had my second appointment with the specialst. Things look good. My bloodwork came back normal, but of course, I was told that it could be the metformin that's making me normal. I'm staying on the metformin and trying another round of clomid. In the next week I have to have a hysterosalpingography (HSG) or what they call a dye test. Thet shoot dye into my uterus and fallopianubes and look for things that can be wrong like scarring, fibriods or blocked tubes. I'm supposed to have this done by next Friday at the latest. I have my follow up appointment next Thursday, so before Thursday would be better. I just have to wait for them to call me and schedule since I have to go to the hospital to have that done. I was hoping it would be an in office procedure. Depending on how the HSG and the clomid go, I may have to have a laproscopy done as well. Not excited. I'm going to try to get to my old doctor in the next week to request a copy of my medical records since the
