Today was my first appointment with the fertility specialist. I knew after the 3 rounds of Clomid (50mg) with the trigger shots and ultrasounds didn't work then we were going to have to do something else.
So, for starters she took my history. I have hypothyroidism as well as PCOS. It took my mother 5 years to concieve me and she was never able to have children after me.
Next, we discussed medication. She wants me to start taking Metformin now and then add the Femera at the right time. (I'm on day 18 of my current cycle). If on cycle day 30 AF has not shown and my pregnancy test is negative then she would like me to take Provera to bring on my next cycle. On day 3 of my next cycle I will need bloodwork and then on day 5 she will perform an HSG in order to make sure my tubes are open. My husband will also need a semen analysis although he has two kids from a previous relationship so, she doesn't think he will be the problem.
She also looked at my bbt chart I have been keeping up with this cycle and said she thinks I may have ovulated on my own and that it looked really good. So, that could be good news although I am certainly not getting any hopes up there!
The whole visit made me feel better. She seems to think that I'm not a totally severe case, not yet anyways. Tomorrow marks one year of ttc and I feel like we are finally getting something done. I'm ready for the next cycle to start so we can get started! (Never thought I'd say that!)
