All Clear!

So I got all the results back from my blood work and HSG test and according to my doctor everything looks fine!  (*cue mini celebration*) I looked over all my results and everything is in the normal range (because, y'know I'm a doctor (not)) and according to the x-ray tech the dye from the HSG flowed well, so there is no blockage.

I am super relieved!  So far, with the testing we've done, it looks like we are just dealing with my PCOS, so I am going to be kicking up my charting a notch.  If we better know when I'm ovulating, then we might just get lucky. :)

Also, we are still waiting for my husband's results, so maybe its a combination of factors.  We are expecting his results by the end of the week.

So far, this is good news.  So we are going to try for the next couple of months, and then we'll go back to the doctor and re-evaluate.  The next step with probably be something like Clomid to encourage (better) ovulation.  So fingers crossed!

Let the Testing Begin!

So I got my period, which means it is time for testing ... fun fun.  This morning I want in for a fasting blood draw in which they are testing blood sugar and hormone levels.  I also peed in a cup (TMI?) but I'm not sure what that was for (I am assuming sugar or something).  I have an hysterosalpingography (HSG) test scheduled for next week.  That is a dye test that check to see if my fallopian tubes are clear.  From what I here, it's an uncomfortable test and I am not exactly looking forward to it.  In fact, I am kind of terrified of the results.

Scarred tubes have been one of my biggest fears in trying to get pregnant.  I have had abdominal surgery/infection before and it is a possibility that my tubes could be blocked. I am afraid that the results are going to confirm this, and that there is nothing I am going to be able to do.  I have been feeling less that perfect lately, like I am the thing that is holding my husband back from his goals in life, and if I get confirmation of this, I might (high probability) be a huge mess.  

So wish me luck.
