Hoping for an HSG baby! Anyone else?!

[DaisyQ]

Ash, I work in the city, and live in north jersey. I decided to go to a RE in NY because I'm there 5 days a week, but it seems I keep having to come in on weekends, which is brutal. A friend referred me to my doc, and she got preggers with first round of IVF and can't say enough good things about him. Also, apparently he's responible for several grandkids of the radiologist who did my HSG!

I have weird skin .. like oily in the t-zone and then dry in my cheeks and what not. I absolutely hate it! Maybe while I'm in NYC I can go to a nice dermatologist and they can figure out my skin! I mean I don't have gross skin but I hate the oily/dry stuff going on! You got your HSG today right? I think slight cramping is okay! If it continues though I would call your dr.

Daisy - Woohoo! Go !!!!!!!!!

Ash - I'm a speech-language pathologist in an elementary school/preschool. (I still sometimes don't like that I look young, especially when dealing with "difficult" parents! hahaha. I want to be like - I'm very qualified!! I swear!! Haha.) What do you do? How about you Stinas?

 

[ashknowsbest]

Daisy - Ok perfect well I'll definitely go and have a consultation with them and see what they can do for me. I just hope they keep me on the same plan or generally the same plan that my FS has me on now ... I mean I'm close to either IUI or IVF at this point so I just don't want them to put it off even longer!

 

[Lisa92881]

Woah, we're all posting at once.

Stinas - I had cramping the night of my hsg and the next day, it's normal. I also felt swollen inside, it was weird! Haha.

 

[Stinas]

Ladies want to start a chat thread? I think its allowed?

 

[Lisa92881]

Sure! How do you do that??

Lisa - interesting! I love little kids. I'm finishing up my child psychology degree (it's actually being postponed right now because of the move but once I get up there I will be back in school) But right now I'm working as a nanny! I've been a nanny for about 2 years and love absolutely love it! It's fun, enjoyable, even when the kids annoy me I still like them! But when I graduate I obviously want to work counseling little kids! I'm even interested in maybe working with just adults but I really do enjoy kids a lot more! They have such a interesting way of looking at the world and they entertain me! Oh they also say what everyone is already thinking!

 

[DaisyQ]

Ash, they won't put you off if you've been trying as long as you have. No worries.

I also have a dermatologist for you!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Here we go...

 

[DaisyQ]

I'll pm you!

 

[ashknowsbest]

daisy - yay I just looked up the rma and they accept my insurance!

 

[Lisa92881]

Hahaha Daisy you're making me laugh, hooking up Ash with all these specialists.

Ash - Yeah I love my job. The program was really rough, but it's worth it. The money's a lot better in private practice, or in nursing homes, etc. working with adults....but I love being in a school. Plus, a week off every few months, and summers off...can't beat that!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Lisa - yeah definitely my mom's a teacher and she loooves her summers off!

 

[DaisyQ]

daisy - yay I just looked up the rma and they accept my insurance!

Whoohoo!

The doc who did my HSG scan said it looked to be all clear but a panel will look at it and I will get the final results at my next FS appointment which is next Friday, 17th Feb.

I am half expecting to be told I need to wait a few months before they will offer any further help.

GL with your appointment next week!

What makes you think you will have to wait a few months before more help? What have you had done so far and how long have you been TTC?

Thanks SazraD,

We have been TTCing since last March when I had the mirena coil removed. My FS knows that I have PCOS and said last time I saw her that it will take me longer to fall pregnant. North West Kent PTC dont like intervening before we have been TTCing for at least a year regardless of age.
But now that I've had the HSG scan I am hoping to get a BFP soon. If this doesnt work then I will be going back to ask for IUI.
How is your journey coming along?

That's good that they've arranged a HSG for you before 12 months then isn't it? We were NTNP for 12 months but then decided to start trying properly and this is my 5th cycle since then. Although we were NTNP it is a little worrying that nothing happenend! I have had blood tests and a pelvic exam and do my temps every day so know that I am ovulating and DH has had sperm tests, which have come back normal so my GP has now referred me to a fetility specialist - he thinks it could be a few months before an appt though! I am debating paying private for a HSG but if that is all clear then i presume I will be back to square one on the NHS again so not sure what to do!

 

[DaisyQ]

Update - so I've FINALLY peaked on the monitor (and got a + OPK last night, and it's still positive today). So the big O is impending! SOOOOO glad I will ovulate this cycle, scared it was going to be a wash. So basically... HSG on CD 9, heavy spotting from CD 9- CD 14, expected ovulation was CD 15-17 but actual ovulation (predicted) CD 20. FX this is the cycle so I don't have to go on to clomid and IUI next cycle!
