I think it was the amount of information and tests that were ordered coupled with the emphasis on testing out the genes for deafness so our child won't be deaf that got me. I really think she is a good doctor that knows her stuff. Maybe her bed side manner needs a little work. It was just so so much at once. locopollo I'm assuming the genetic testing is only for IVF? Can you opt out of that? Morally I don't feel right choosing my child based on genes. I will love a dead child just as much as a hearing child and I will under no circumstances choose to select embryos or whatever based on that gene.
My understanding is that you can always opt out, even for IVF.
Eta: I would tell the RE how you feel and seriously consider checking out a different practice. At my appointment IVF was barely mentioned.

cycle/Month: 10 and counting...
CD: 9
What are you doing to get knocked up? Pomegranate juice, EOD, BBT, digital OPKs
R/R/CS: I switched from Levothyroxine to Synthroid today. I can't believe how much better I feel!
GTKY: How do you learn about current events? Print, TV or Online? Which channel, website, or magazine/newspaper do you like best? I go to MSN or CNN online. Also, I've subscribed to their facebook pages along with my local news stations.
@asoneil - I'm with you on being anxious about exams. I went home and cried in the bathtub after my first one (still was a virgin). Now I make the last appointment available for the day and make sure to do something "fun" after like go to a craft store and for sure pick up dinner.
mustloveerica I'm sorry that your doctor was so insensitive. I too would feel that I couldn't choose which genes to toss or keep. The RE should be more aware of those implications. Hopefully they meant it more to let you know that they wouldn't judge you if you wanted to be selective.
It was worse than I hoped and better than I feared. It was pretty painful while they pushed the dye, but it was fast.
Glad to know. I had a pretty good experience and I hope that others have similar. This is also good for @wallflwr926 to know
Good for me to know too. I'll have mine at the start of next cycle. I think it's too late in my current cycle to have the HSG so ill schedule it next time I get my period.
What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPK, HIO, triggered last nite
R/R/CS: IUI was canceled due to the mature follies being on the wrong side. We are going to still HIO and hope for a miracle. I heard about a theory where eggs can switch tubes and also that sometimes blocked tubes are caused by spasms during the HSG and are not really blocked, especially if there's no risk factors. We are just going to hope and pray that that's the case.
GTKY: How do you learn about current events? Print, TV or Online? Which channel, website, or magazine/newspaper do you like best? Most of the time I learn about current events from my Facebook feed, what coworkers are talking about, or what my husband tells me. I don't really read celebrity magazines or watch TV for those kinds of things, it's just more in passing.
I'm crossing my fingers 'til they are fucking BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many fucking hugs mustloveerica. I am so sorry it was so overwhelming, I can relate. My thoughts and happy vibes are with you as you process all that information.
I swear, they should really be better at bedside manner of they are going to be REs.

@cakewench, moar hugs, honey. I'm so sorry for your anxiety and embarrassment. You're not alone, even though I can imagine that these experiences can feel alienating.
mustloveerica, I am also so sorry for the insensitive remarks from your RE, even if they were unintentional. I've heard similar remarks and people just don't get it.
Glad to know. I had a pretty good experience and I hope that others have similar. This is also good for @wallflwr926 to know

What are you doing to get knocked up? sex, bbt, opk
R/R/CS: Getting tired of these longer cycles happening more frequently.
GTKY: How do you learn about current events? Print, TV or Online? Which channel, website, or magazine/newspaper do you like best? I check yahoo and bing headlines when I get in to work every morning.

Hugs to everyone who had a rough day today!
Cycle/Month: 2 AL
CD: 8
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, PNV, water, green tea
R/R/CS: No. I just hate this part of my cycle.
GTKY: All online from many different news outlets. Our local newspaper has a Facebook page that I check pretty often. I never watch the news on tv unless I'm planning to watch for something specific I know will be on there. Honestly, the TV is rarely on in our house and if it is its for Netflix or shows we have on the DVR.
I have a saline sono next week to confirm if I have uterine polyps.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that whatever they find can be easily remedied for you.
Thanks. I honestly don't know what to want right now. Surgery scares me, but otherwise polyps are relatively straightforward and could make the difference. I am trying to stay off dr. Google till my appointment next Weds.
