More Tests and Changes

Had a one on one with my Infertility Specialist (I.F. Specialist) this morning. DH needs to give a new Semen Analysis (S.A.) and some blood work done to check certain hormones. If the hormones test low then they want to put him on Clomid (it helps men to manufacture testosterone naturally ---- he just had a testosterone test done, which showed low levels (which is an issue we have dealt with in the past)).  I will be going off of Clomid and onto Famara, instead. We also set a time (the beginning of 2013) for a hysterectomy if that we are unsuccessful. The Famara is to help increase our chances, it has shown a higher success rate with PCOS women then Clomid does.

The Results from the HSG (Hysterosalpingogram)

Yesterday, I went in to have my HSG test done. It showed complete blockage of the right fallopian tube but the left is free and clear of blockages. This means we still have a chance but it is slightly lessened as there is no access for the sperm to impregnate an egg on the right side and no way for the egg if it was impregnated  to leave the tube and travel into the uterus for implantation. I have to set up an appointment to see my IS (infertility specialist) soon, so we can discuss this at further length. She feels that this blockage of the right tube is do to scar tissue from the 3 surgeries that I had in the last few year due to the endometrial hyperplasia. She said that there could be a slight chance it was just a spasm but she did feel that it was likely because this was the area that was problematic in the surgeries. She said that with the Clomid you tend to ovulate on both sides during ovulation. We talked briefly about doing the transvaginal ultrasound to see if I was ovulating and a shot that will help stimulate the release of the egg. I felt like I took 20 steps backward yesterday. Starting to wonder if another baby is in God's plan for our family. Trying very hard not to get discouraged or loose faith. Need to get on my knees and spend some one on one time with God and truly seek his will.

Yet another test to have done

I have to go in on Monday and have a HSG (hysterosalpingogram) test done. They will be injecting radiographic dye into my  uterus. This is to check to see if there is any blockages, or issues with my tubes and ovaries. I have had this procedure done before, shortly before I got pregnant with our son.

Side note: They upped my clomid last month to 150 mg (6x what we took to get pregnant with our son). Still not 100% sure I am ovulating. Ovulation tests are about as frustrating as pregnancy tests, they never seem to read what I want them too. If after this month (and if the HSG test, shows no blockages or other issues) we're still not sure if I am actually ovulating or not, I will be going in and having a transvaginal ultrasound done to check for ovulation. When ovulation is found then we get busy and I will take a shot that will help with the follicle releasing so it can be impregnated. Praying we'll not have to go that far but time is running out for this to happen. It's hard feeling like there is this huge clock ticking over my head, it adds so much pressure to the situation.
