So it was a very long day today. We left the house at 8:30, and I just got home (I spent an hour at my sister's house though tutoring her in math). They did a V/U and she said that my uterus and ovaries look excellent. Then lining was perfect, and I had just ovulated from my right ovary, and I had 3 follies on my left side. One of them measured at 22. She looked over my DH's SA from last year, and decided to run another one. She said that it is pretty normal looking, but that his PH was etremely high last time, so we did another SA today. Seeing how I am 2 DPO, and she wanted to check my progesterone, so I go in for blood work this Friday. She is checking for thyroid issues, genetic issues, blood issues, etc.. I have it all written down somewhere. Then I should get the results back that same day, but we scheduled an appointment for next Monday to discuss our plan of action. She said if everything else looks fine, then we will do a cycle of IUI with no fertitlity meds. She does not want any multiples. All she will do is give me an O trigger shot, and then do the procedure. Then I would be on progesterone and some estrogen pill, just in case. She said my eggs look fine, so no clomid or anything as of now.

I guess it is a wait and see to find out why we cannot get pregnant and what we are going to go forward with.

Here is a funny for you ladies though. (May be TMI for some)

I love to embarrass my hubby any chance I get (believe me, he returns it as well). So he was dreading another SA, especially in a doctors office. He was so nervous about what the nurses would say while he was behind the closed door. He said, "They will be laughing because they know what I am doing in there!" Of course this was him serving himself to me on a silver platter, so I teased him the wait before the test. I even asked the nurse what kind of reading material they have in there. He turned so red. Finally as the nurse told him that his insurance cleared him for one and told him where to go down the hall, I yelled at him to hurry up, because I was hungry. The nurse starting giggling and he shot me a "go to h*ll" look. Anyway I paid at the counter, and walked out to the car. Not 5 minutes later he was walking to the car with his head down. So I asked him how everything went, and he just said the job was done. Of course he got teased the whole way home. Especially when he told me that they had some good quality reading material and that's why it did not take that long. Lol.

Sounds like your dr has a good plan of attack in mind. I hope that it only takes one cycle for you to get pregnant and stay pregnant. Sorry you are having to go through all this. Glad you got to give hubby a hard time. Makes life fun.

He threw a fit about it too, but the doctor told him that it would be better to get it ASAP. Plus he would have to miss more work to bring it in during business hours. Lol. He is all about his job. In fact he is staying until 8pm tonight to make up the hours. He has your typical 8 to 5 too.

Happy to hear your appointment went well. Sounds like you have a good plan of action.

When we did an IUI last year Dh had to do both of his little sample at the office. We live to far away to get it there on time. He always went ahead of me so I wouldn't be there to tease him. My ob does two IUI's. He gets better results. The second time I met Dh there before my appointment and teased him.

Well my husband would probably kill me if I put what happened at his other SA. Lol. Let's just say that there was no in house lab and a sample had to be dropped off well over an hour away.

Hooray for a good plan. It took me two years to convince DH to go for his SA. He did not want to do it at the hospital so I had his sister call him and offer her appartment for him to do the deed. He was so embarrased that he just went to the hospital to do it.

Sometimes we have to give men a hard time too...haha
