Yay!! So exciting they are going to get you answers.They drew 4 vials of blood today and did a vaginal us. That was a little awkward since I'm in the middle of AF but they were perfectly used to that since they regularly have women come in mid-AF for their first set of tests. My uterus and ovaries look good. Right now it looks like I have 7 follicles on one ovary and 9 on the other. They have me coming in for another us on the 18th. And are going to do DH's blood work and SA on the 12th. Hoping for some answers soon!
Elle - Usually LP stays the same but I've noticed mine changing over time too. After being off bcp for awhile your LP can make adjustments.
I've got a lot of appointments in the next few weeks and I really hate missing work, but at least right now it's one a week and I think it's going to work out so I only have to take half days for each of them. My HSG is in the afternoon so I am going to work my morning classes. They said I wouldn't be able to probably go back to work AFTER the HSG but there's no reason why I can't work until lunch. My next us is morning so I am going to TRY to work my afternoon classes - there shouldn't be anything painful or anything at that appointment so if I can get back to work my afternoon classes then I don't feel like I'm abandoning all my students all day for just an hour appointment (or wasting my sick hours when I only need an afternoon or morning off). 
I'm so sorry. I'm right there with you. It took me about 8 months to regulate after bcp, and I have been feeling like a failure of a woman for awhile. I told DH earlier this cycle that I felt like it didn't matter what we did this cycle, it wasn't going to happen anyway so why was I bothering to even try. On the positive side, at least at 12 months you can start ot get referral for testing so if there IS anything wrong they can find it. It's also possible you just need more time. A friend of mine told me that her sister (an RE) had said that for every year you are on BCP expect approximately a month of recovery time. I was on bcp for 15 years so imagine my horror! 
(I'm on the mobile version and not sure how to do the hugging smileys). I know you were anovulatory for a while so technically they say it can take a year to get pregnant and that's with regular cycles, so maybe it'll just be another month or 2? You WILL be a mother, I know it! At your appt maybe you could ask about a SA for your DH? That was what my doctor had recommended first. Keep your faith, I know it will happen. I know it's hard to though when you feel defeated. But I'm thinking of you! (Thinking of all of you girls actually!)
