Hey girls! Well everything came back clear today on the HSG!! I don't know how I'll ever handle child birth, because that was PAINFUL. She could not get the thread or whatever it's called into my cervix, so it was REALLY painful. But once it was done I felt better instantly, no cramping. She said sometimes the tubes have what she describes as "snot" in the tubes and this helps clear that all out. She said initially it was hard getting the dye in, so she said it's very possible I had a lot of that in my tubes that got washed out. Soooo....excited, but yet kind of wondering if that's not the problem than what is?!? She said that she does not think at this point I should go to a FS, that I should try a couple more rounds of clomid. She said she's only had about 10% of women be unsuccessful with Clomid (although that doesn't make me feel better, because so far I've always been the 10%). I mentioned that I read so often about Clomid not being effective unless done with IUI, and she said that's totally not the case. She said it was odd how hard it was to get into my cervix, and she said that could be the problem with getting pregnant taking longer, but she said it should not prevent me. She said we should not try this month (which is actually a relief, for the first time in 16 months to not have a bd'ing schedule and not have a 2WW) and then call her when I get AF and I'll try clomid again.
I guess here's my concern. You're only supposed to take Clomid 6 cycles total, because some think it increases your chance of cervical cancer, although again my DR. said she does not believe that and there's not enough evidence of it. So I worry that I'm wasting months of just clomid, when I should be doing Clomid + IUI. We don't really have the money for that though....what do you girls think, see the FS or go with the clomid. She said she wouldn't do the FSH test because of my age and my Progesterone numbers.
Sorry this has been such a ramble! I'm just so mixed, I really thought they would see that at least 1 of my tubes had an issue, and then I'd at least have an explanation. (Also, I was thinking about Messina's prediction telling me I'd soon hear news difficult to take, but that didn't happen today!---maybe the news will be the bill for this because they told me today it may be $1200!!!) From what I read, unexplained infertility is the worst to have because there's no treatment then!
Anyway, enough of my rant.
Jessie---
yeahhh for AF! So is this your first month back to TTC? Like the other said, I count CD1 as first day that I have full flow (no matter the time). So then is Thursday your FSH test?
