Q: Update - visited endo...no cysts, tubes aren't blocked!

Haven't posted here in a bit, but figured I would update a little.

My husband and I were referred to a reproductive endocrinologist once we hit our 11th cycle of trying. We went and saw her a couple of weeks ago and she's great! She did an ultrasound and said my ovaries and uterus look fine. I don't even have any cysts and she did see follicles. The next week I had a hysterosalpingogram. Which was an awful experience that I hope to never go through again. But, she told me right after I had it that my tubes are not blocked and my uterus looked good (no abnormalities). I think the next two things are getting blood work and a semen analysis. So, that's it!

Hopefully everything turns out great and you get your well deserved BFP soon.

I wondered were you had run off to. I'm glad you will be getting some answers. I know how frustrating it can be wondering what can be wrong. But, it sounds like your tests have been good so far.

My dh is having his semen analysis done on Monday. So, we are pretty close in our ttc journey.

I hope we both get our BFP's soon!

Has the doctor discussed any possibilities of treatment? Or is she waiting for the results to mention anything?

I just had my HSG on Tuesday. Everything looked normal for me as well. My dh had his SA. His volume and count are extremely high, and his shape and motility are normal. The only thing that was outside of the normal range was his pH level and the pregression was borderline. I don't know what those things mean, but I'll do some internet research when I get a chance.

Our bloodwork came back normal, so we don't have any diseases or infections to worry about.

I just need my FSH and then we sit down with the doctor to figure out whether we are candidates for IUI or IVF. Based on the test results so far, I don't think there is a reason to skip the IUI and go directly to IVF.

I know what you mean about the HSG. That was painful. I didn't mind the catheter too much, but the pressure from the die. Ouch. I wonder if the catheter part is similar to what is used in an IUI. I hope that doesn't hurt.

She hasn't mentioned anything about treatment yet. I feel like if there is nothing wrong with either of us, then I don't need to worry about being treated for infertility for awhile.

The catheter was a pretty bad part, but she actually said she numbed my cervix before she inserted it. I agree, the pressure from the dye was the worst!

HSG pressure
Hi ladies, baby dust!

What does this pressure feel like. I had a transvaginal ultrasound and all is good and not sure I want to do the HSG.

Did you have pain when you got home. I just had a gyno exam and she must have been looking for pelvic pain etc. cause I just don't know what she was doing with my cervix but I got home and had bad belly pains. I hate to think what a HSG does to you.
