RE visit today

Well, we did it! We went to the RE. I got lots of horrible glaring from one woman in the waiting room, I brought my two little girls in, because we didnt have a babysitter and she looked at me hateful the whole time I was there. I was like, seriously lady, you dont know anything about me... and you need to drop your attitude. I didnt say anything though. I understand how aggrevating it is to TTC!!! Even though I do have children already doesnt mean that I havent had my share of rough times.... Ugh.

Anyways.... So, the Dr was awesome. I loved him, and so did my husband. He asked a ton of questions about our history and said from my previous surgery it sounds like I have a tube that is blocked with scar tissue. I told him I didnt know, I was 18 or 19 when I had the surgery and it was a 3 hour lap, I dont remember everything she told me. So he wants me to get an HSG. Its scheduled for Wed. He also did some blood work on me today. An FSH test? I think thats what he said.... Its the test that tells how hard my brain is working to produce eggs.... The higher the number, the harder its working which means its searching for eggs - meaning closer to menopause (WHAT?! IM ONLY 25!!) Well, PCOS brings menopause on early, and lots of my symptoms do say its approaching.... Oh man, I forgot to ask him about all the hot flashes.... Oh well, anyways....

So, next week I'm getting bloodwork tested for (says the paper work order infront of me) Glucose, Two-Hour Postprandial - which I think is the gross sugar stuff that I have to drink - Insulin, Lipid Panel, 17 alpha Hydroxprogesterone, Testosterone - the numbers that show how bad my hair growth is - and DHEA

Its not often that I find a Dr who appreciates BBT charts. He was very anxious to see them! And said there was a concern for all the positive OPKs and the way they coordinated with the HPTs. OPKs were negative when HPTs were positive.... Not too sure what all that means but thats what I know so far.

He wants Taylor to do an SA but also said its probably not going to be too bad because of us conceiving Xoe within the last 5 years. Our ins wont cover it, but all we have to pay is $100 for the test. OH! I also found out that the IUI is only $300!!!! Thats nothing compared to what I was expecting it to be!

So, this is it. Wed I will let you all know what the HSG says (which by the way, IS covered by insurance!!)
