We had our consult today and scheduled an HSG for friday. Our dr pretty much agreed with our game plan. He didn't think that taking any vitamins would help his count but said it definitely couldn't hurt it. So we are going to wait a few months and do another SA and if things are the same we will continue with the IUI and clomid.
We did get a copy of the actual SA results and it said DH had 21% abnormal morphology. Is that high? The nurse didn't really say if was or not, they just focused on the count mostly.
Good luck on Friday!! I also took...3 or 4...ibuprofen about an hour ahead of mine. I was so nervous but it was fine, a little uncomfortable but really not bad. And I'm the queen of being a baby about stuff so this surprised me.
My H wasn't allowed in, not sure if yours is going or not, and luckily they provided giant granny pads because all that dye had to leak back out somewhere 😕
Thanks everybody! I'm not terribly worried about it during the actual procedure, but I've got a business lunch later that day and I don't really want to be hunched over in pain the whole time so I hope its tolerable.
I didn't have any issues afterword with mine. I worked after both of them. It's not a fun procedure and it does hurt during, but it's a fairly quick pain and then at least for me I had no issues the rest of the day.

diamondsndaisies , I'll hop in here - I had two HSG's done. The first one hurt like a MF. The second one was so incredibly easy I didn't really feel a thing during or after. I think it depends on who is doing the procedure. For the first one, the RE I don't think did them very often and it was done at a hospital. The second one was with a different RE and they do all the procedures in house. That I think made all the difference. There was about 6 months in between each one.
ETA: dang it. I always leave something out. I should add the first one hurt so bad that my left tube spasmed or something. That's why the second RE wanted to do the HSG. Tubes were clear.

Ok, last question. Do you get results right away or do you have to wait for them? I know they are probably looking at the x-ray while doing it, but do they tell you right away or do they wait to call you later?

Yup. What they said. They had the screen toward me so I could see the dye spilling, then the radiologist went over the results but he said the RE would go over them as well.
The RE called, I don't know, like a week later or something to let us know her review too.
Eeeekkkk. So today is CD1 so I called to ask about IVF and BCP and they said I could probably fit into the February group, starting stims 1/31. I'm all kinds of nervous and excited.
The nurse was like "from your charts it looks like you've waited a long time for this".

YAY! So exciting!
I'm seriously shaking. They were like, we can order your meds today.

More and more things are coming up with the kids we had for respite (and have again this weekend) that to put a bug in our ear per our caseworker that it may be leading to being placements for us if we choose to. So basically H and I need to have that conversation so we are prepared for when that happens (if it happens of course)

I had my HSG this morning and everything was clear. He did mention that I have a slightly tilted cervix but never mentioned that it was a problem.
Glad it went well! During my HSG that's when I found out I have a retroverted ute as well. It doesn't affect TTC or anything but it is useful to mention when a doc is trying to put a catheter in for an IUI!

If you don't play on 3T, someone else posted this grant opportunity there -- a good number of us may not be looking at IVF or adoption currently, but there are different application times throughout the year so it's worth bookmarking (and hoping that IUI or TI works before that, of course!).

I'll have to research but just glancing at the application, it seems to allow for other treatment costs not only IVF. But I haven't looked at the fine print. One section of the application asked what treatment type you will apply the funds towards and IUI was listed. But, again, I haven't read all the fine print.
Oh that'd be really cool if that's true! I just read the thread title and assumed haha
I had my Dr appointment today to go over some blood work, and it all came back "normal" (I don't have the exact numbers though). Because I'm ovulating and the tests that my pcp can do seem normal, she is going to refer me to a fertility Dr. She did mention that DH could get a req for an SA from his pcp, so we will also be doing that while we wait for the referral to go through in 2 months or so.
