I was wondering the same thing. Last she posted she was going through testing and would have an answer within a month.
I cannot believe our follow up appt is in 10 days. I am extremely nervous, but hopeful that they'll help us. I want to test prior to the appt, but I highly doubt it'll be anything other than a bfn.
Hi Ladies! Sorry I've been MIA. Honestly wanted to take a step back from the forum because I was getting too worked up over reading too much, driving myself crazy, and feeling like a failure. I've stopped using Facebook for the same reasons - too many people's kids and pregnancy announcements - just depresses me. Anyway I saw this randomly in my email notification and thought, "they couldn't be possibly be referring to ME" and sure enough, you were. It makes me feel so good knowing others, especially complete strangers, care enough to wonder about my well-being...so thank you so much. It really made my day.
So...update in order I guess! The first thing was my doctor looked at my summer bloodwork at that appointment and saw my FSH level was 25. Apparently that is like the level of a menopausal woman (according to my googling...) and indicated "diminished ovarian reserve." Strange, since I'm 34 (not really young, but not terrible I guess). So he retested me for that and other things on day 3 of my period (which was last Saturday). This time, it came back 12.8. Still not great, and still indicates "diminished ovarian reserve" but I don't think it's a death sentence at least..... Monday, DH submitted his semen analysis. No word on that yet......Yesterday, I took the day off to get the HSG procedure done at the hospital. I was dreading it so much, almost didn't go, but my husband, always the logical one, said "get out of bed and just do it." Ironically, the PA who was supposed to do it was delivering a baby, so I had to wait over an hour after my scheduled time. The tech was so nice and checking on me and kept saying things like "that's going to be you next year!" Anyway, the procedure was literally like nothing. No pain, cramping, or anything like they were preparing me for. So easy. They had the screen next to me, and when they injected the dye, I could see my "insides". Great news is that everything was clear and good and healthy. The PA and the tech were both very encouraging. The PA said don't be surprised if you get pregnant in the next month or so - that the procedure seems to clean out the tubes and help with getting pregnant - that 4 people he did last year to got pregnant soon after the test. Let's hope! I was so relieved that went well. So, the last thing is to get one more blood test on Dec. 30, and then we should know more. When I told him about my FSH level, he didn't seem concerned. He said they'll probably end up putting me on Chlomid and joked that I'll end up with twins. haha wouldn't that be a kicker? Anyway, I'm feeling a lot more positive now that the tests are over and I'm taking steps to get answers. I'll keep you posted once I know more. In the meantime, Ov date is soon approaching, so next week and up to about Christmas day (predicted Ov date), we'll be getting busy! I'd so love for this to happen without medical interventions, but if we have to, so be it. We are lucky to live in a time with such great medicine and doctors.
Thank you all for your concern. How bout the rest of you? I thought someone else was waiting for similar test results??
.
. I did another opk and it's definitely negative so I'm done, I should've trusted my body in the 1st place. Maybe due to Ohio's crazy weather my chart has gone crazy as well.
