My Husband And I Are Trying to Have a Baby Posted: 02-13-07 15:49pm
I am so sick of everyone telling me that
if it's meant to be, it will happen. I
have already took the step forward by
going to the doctor for a checkup to see
if I am healthy enough to get pregnant.
She ran some tests and my progesterone
came back too low and she said that I
wouldn't be ovulating with my progesterone
that low. Ok, what I want to know because
I have been told all kinds of answers, is
how was I having a monthly flow if I
wasn't ovulating? She put me on clomid, I
was given the wrong directions on how to
take it ( I took it days 1-5 of my cycle
and then found out on a follow up
appointment that I was supposed to take it
days 5-9 of my cycle, that's just great).
She sent me for another progesterone level
check and it came back normal and she said
that I should be ovulating on my own now.
She now wants to check my husband's
swimmers and then if that comes back ok,
then she wants to me to go through some
horrible sounding procedure she called "
blowing the tubes" but I can't remember
the medical terminology she used. Does
anyone know what that is and what they do
in that procedure? Has anyone had it done
and gotten pregnant fairly soon
afterwards?

Hi waypastready.
I asusme your doc wants you to go for an
hsg - they inject dye through your tibes
to make sure they are not blocked. I had
it done - it is usually part of an
infertility workup to make sure your
anatomy is ok. Mine did not hurt at all,
the worst part was the needle in my cervix
to numb it so they could get up there.
Was done in the radiology dept of local
hospital. I hope this helps you. Clomid
is not for everyone so if it doesn't work
for you there are other options out there.
Be sure to ask lots of questions of your
doc.

im sorry you have to go through all that.
it is hard when the people around you are
so not understanding. the last thing a
person who wants a baby so bad wants to
hear is it will happen when it is supposed
to! i had people tell me i didn't need to
go to the Dr and it will happen, obviously
i did since i was put on clomid right
away. the clomid did work for me though, i
had ovulation issues. i never had an hsg
done but a girl i know did and she said
the same thing the worst part was the
numbing.
but at least you will have it done and you
can narrow down anything that might be
wrong and really get going on it! it might
just have been the hormone levels and that
can be treated. good luck!
