RE initial consultation appointment

EJsMommy · #1 July 12th, 2011, 03:52 PM

I just wanted to give an update on my RE appointment today. It was very informative actually. The RE doc was very understanding and wants to make sure that we do all that we can do to get us a healthy baby in the end of this.
My insurance covers all the diagnostic processes but non of the other types of fertility treatments. I figured that it wasn't.
My RE said that a HSG (xray) can make it appear that the uterus is one way but it could be on a closer look something different.
According to my obgyn he said that I have a bicornate uterus when doing the HSG procedure, but the RE said that it could be a deep septum that makes it look like a bicornate.
The diagnostics that we will do is the:
FSH test on day 2, 3 or 4 of my period (blood test and ultra sound to make sure follies are there
HSG test again
Then my DH will do the sa again as it has been a while since.
If I have a septum that makes my uterus look like a V inside the uterine wall. Here is a picture of a septum in a uterus(6th picture on the page): Problems With The Uterus and Fertility, Infertility
I will keep you posted on how it will go. I know DH has scheduled to have the sa done next tuesday. I will have to wait until next period coming along which is next month.
Also need a pap smear done as well from my regular obgyn.
No more clomid in my regimen. RE would not have done 9 months of clomid.
Thanks for reading.

Thank you! I was a great appointment. They took a picture of me for my journal and medical profile and I had red cheeks and i called them apple cheeks. Everyone close in the office chuckled. So now I have a nick name Ms Apple Cheeks.

I'm glad that you like the Dr. Good Luck!!

EJsMommy · #12 July 13th, 2011, 09:04 AM

Thanks ladies! I am hopeful now. Just need to take one step at a time as I can work myself up in the details of the cost etc as that may not even be needed. I will wait until the updated HSG, FSH bloodwork and ultrasound to see where we need to go next.

Thank you! It is actually a lady doctor but there is a male doctor in that office as well. Regardless I am getting help.

9 months of clomid? Oh my... that is way too long. It could also be that the clomid thinned out your lining so much that you would never have had a chance to implant. That is what happened to me after just 2 cycles of it.

It sounds like you have a good doctor and that is great. I remember when I started the whole MA process, I felt so hopeful and refreshed - like I would get pregnant and have a baby someday.

I hope your FSH and HSG look great and they come up with a good (and affordable) plan for you!

EJsMommy · #20 July 14th, 2011, 01:07 PM

Missy thank you. Yes I realized after the RE said that it was way to long too. Now no more of that but onto better things.
We (DH and I) will make sure it is affordable and I hope for sure that the HSG can reveal what the deal is with my uterus.

Thank you for all your good luck wishes from all the ladies that responded.
