I'm back!

I was here for a while before our wedding. Then DH and I took a break in preparation of the wedding. The wedding was 7 months ago today and I am on CD 1 of our seventh cycle since the wedding.

I guess I should start at the beginning for those who don't know me. Chris (my DH) and I have had four miscarriages in a 3 year period. Immediately after the wedding, I went to start testing. It was determined that I have two MTHFR mutations (making me compound heterozygous). I was immediately put on extra folic acid, B6, B12, and baby aspirin. Then we discovered that I don't always ovulate on my own. We then did three cycles of clomid. When my OB called in the third month's prescription he told me that it was the last time and I needed to see the local specialist.

That brings us to now. AF showed today, so month 3 of Clomid did not work. DH and I decided that to speed things up we'd get him started on some basic testing before my appointment. I made an appointment for him with a wonderful urologist who has diagnosed DH with low testosterone. DH's SA was today so we should have results by tomorrow. Monday, I go see the new doctor.

I am actually excited. I don't think I've ever looked forward to an appointment so much. I want a plan. I want more to be done. I plan on asking for an HSG. I do believe I may have a blocked (left) tube as a result of an infection from a few years ago. I brought it up to the OB but he wasn't concerned. Any pain, any large cysts I've ever had have been on the left. When I had the infection, all pain associated with it was on the left. I hope Dr. Irianni will want to do one anyway, but I plan on asking for it regardless...even if it's just for piece of mind.

Wow, this has gotten long. My blog is more detailed (though it needs updating) if you want to know more. The link is in my siggy--just click on the blinkie.

Congrats on your wedding. Sounds like you have been through a lot lately. I am glad you have gotten answers. So sorry your journey is lasting so long though. I hope DH's SA has good results and best of luck at your appt with the specialist!
