I'm late to the check in...oops!
Yesterday was CD2, so I called the RE to let them know. HSG is scheduled for Tuesday. So glad I have Valium to take beforehand. I'm kind of nervous about it.
I asked about startIng Med + TI this cycle, but we would stop treatment if something comes back abnormal on the HSG. RE said yes! I started Femara thIs morning, and I will take it for 5 days. Monitoring US is a week from tomorrow on CD11. They are overnighting me Ovidrel so I will trigger at some point. I'm planning on testing out the trigger. They want us to have sex the day of trigger and the day after.
The RE's nurse did say that H's morph was borderline on his SA. She said they like 96% abnormal morph, and H has 97% abnormal, so 3% normal morph. The nurse said the RE wasn't concerned about it because all of H's other numbers are normal. Dr. Google says that low morph can significantly impact fertility, so I'm not sure what to think about that.

Like I have the worlds worst UTI. I'm in bed with Powerade. I killed my lemonade and CFA. Since we are doing FET I got oxy for today and a prescription for good drugs. They also have me a bunch of heat pads.
Fun times, the power went out for like two seconds when they took the first person back. Glad it wasn't me.

Oh I'm glad you don't have to wait another cycle!!! And I think morph is one of those wonky numbers that can vary A LOT. Will they do a repeat SA at some point?
My RE wants to schedule a SHG now to double check something from the HSG (possible polyp). Prepare me, is this going to be as painful as the HSG? I still have some minor cramping from yesterday, so I'm really not looking forward to more.

Thanks! I'm glad too! I'm not sure if they will do a repeat SA. We will have a follow up with the RE after the HSG, so I will ask her then.

yay! Good luck! I suggest some ibuprofen prior to HSG, also.
Thank you! I will definitely take some ibuprofen beforehand!

Mine was more painful than my HSG - BUT - my HSG was totally painless so I cannot really compare the two. I read that you had a lot of pain during yours, so I unfortunately would expect something similar. Ask for a script for a dose of pain meds before hand?

Cythe and bethkate, thanks for the feedback. When I scheduled the nurse said that it's typically not as painful as an HSG for those that have pain during an HSG. It seems like everyone's experience is so different. They didn't want to give me a prescription, but they ok'd me to take a prescription amount of Motrin ahead of time. We'll see how it goes on Tuesday.

**TW**
I tested this morning and it was a BFN. It's still a bit early, but with my previous pregnancy I had some pretty obvious symptoms by now so I'm inclined to believe the test. I'll probably test again a couple times. (Mostly so I can have wine with dinner).

*TW*
So my first appt was today. I really like the office and staff. I felt so prepared for our conversation so I have you guys to thank for that! She thought it was a bit strange that I got pregnant so quickly last year(which ended up being a CP) and nothing since then so she is going to check an HCG. I asked if I could do without the HSG test because of a traumatic experience in my early 20's when I had a similar test performed but she felt it was important so she wants to do the procedure instead of a radiologist and I'll be taking Valium. Everything seemed pretty standard and I feel like I was so prepared, so thanks again everyone!
jax1182014 - I'm glad your appointment went well today! An HSG is definitely necessary if you are planning to pursue TI or IUI; they need to make sure your tubes are open. FX this HSG will be a much better experience for you!

I talked to the prior authorization lady at the hospital today, and she said she got a fax that the insurance approved my HSG! They have already denied it twice, but I guess the letter from the RE worked! HSG will be done on Tuesday!
Today is my second day of Femara, and I'm not having any side effects so far. I'm hoping that continues!

jax1182014 I'm glad your appointment went well! FWIW, bodies suck. **TW*** We've been TFAS since September 2 years ago. I got my first BFP the following August, another in November, then another in December (all losses). Then NOTHING until...well...now. So it's been over a year since my last loss and we have no explanation why.
I also second what pps said; you definitely would want an HSG before beginning treatment. It doesn't matter how well you ovulate or how great your H's sperm is, if they can't meet then you're SOL.

thechickencoop ya bodies do suck! ***TW*** secondary infertility sucks too. We've been TFAS since Dec 2015 with only that 1 pregnancy(CP). I'm happy I finally met with someone though. I mentioned my new night schedule and she thinks it's a possibility it's screwing with things. I'll keep you guys posted when I get my labs done.

@bonzo2012 It was denied because the RE's note said I had "long-standing infertility". I had told the RE that we had been TTC for a year. I'm not sure how that equals long-standing, but that's what she wrote. The HSG was denied because it is only for an initial diagnosis of infertility (which this is). The RE's office wrote an additional letter to the ins company further explaining my situation, and they denied it again. Randomly the other day, the ins company faced the hospital an approval. I'm not really sure what made them change their minds, but I'm so glad they did!

gabride2010, ugh insurance! That's annoying that what the RE originally wrote made it sound like it wasn't the initial diagnostic. I'm glad it got fixed for you!
