So I haven't written all summer, but the same has been going on. No preggo yet. Remember that abnormal pap that I had back in April? Well Dr. did a colposcopy, to take a sample of the tissue, to see what grade of significance this might be. It came back negative. YEAH! So now I think we are back to square on having 3 normal paps in a row. Next one is scheduled for October, I beleive. Dr. also set up our appointment to go over infertility testing for Sept 18th. That brings us to today.
LMP: 8/23/08
Dr. set up a few tests that we are doing in the first step of tests.
- Pelvic Ultrasound - to see if there are any abnormalities within the Uterus and Ovaries.
- Thyroid and Hormonal Labs - blood labs to be drawn on the 3rd day of my period to see how my hormonal levels are.
- Hysteroscopy - to check the endometrial lining of my Uterus.
- Semen Analysis - to see what sperm count is with hubby.
Dr. says that if these tests all come back normal, we would move into doing a Hysterosalpingogram. Which inserts dye into your fallopian tubes to see if there is blockage in them. They watch this under fluroscopy and usually the dye that is force in the tubes will clean out any blockage if there is any there. Sounds painful and usually is, but I know the Xray tech that does this procedure at the hospital and she actually had this done herself a year ago. But we will worry about that when that time comes. Thats if all 4 of these tests come back normal.
So maybe we will get the Ultrasound report and blood drawn lab results back by the end of next week. I'll update when something changes.

These are common tests and I did all of these. The Hysteroscopy and the hysterosalpingogram aren't too terribly bad. The semen anaylsis isn't too bad for the hubby, just a little uncomfortable having to do it at the doctors office...now he's a pro! ha! Once you get the results, let us know and we'll go from there. Are you still using the ovulation kits to see when you ovulate? If so, make sure you get a little calendar to write everything down. When the first day of your cycle is, when you ovulate, and when you start. You'll start to see some patterns when you write it down. Praying for you guys...
