Right on schedule...

Well my spotting started yesterday just like I knew it would. It is actually a little heavier this month. I should start my period on Thursday and I will go in for b/w on Friday. What sucks is that since it falls on a weekend I probably wont have my results back until Monday or Tuesday, CD5 or CD6, making it too late for me to start clomid this month if thats what he decides. So I will have yet another wasted month. I still can't decide whether or not I want the HSG. I guess I need to figure out how much it is going to cost and then go from there. All of this sucks.

Update

OK so my 0DPO b/w came back at 1.7, 2DPO was 5.9, and 5DPO was 6.8. So pretty much this means that I am either not producing enough progesterone or that my ovulation is weak. I talked to the nurse after my 2DPO b/w and she was saying that I didn't O. Obviously nurses dont know much cause I told her I was only 2 DPO and she said it doesnt matter. She told me that the doctor would want to put me on clomid. I told her that I would rather wait until after my 5DPO b/w came back because I knew I O'd. So when she called me with my 5DPO results she tells me "well you did O but it doesn't look like it was a very good one". But instead of putting my on clomid like she was ASSUMING, we are going to get more b/w to get to the cause of the low progesterone. So now I will be going back next Friday to get more blood drawn and after that we should be able to get a plan of action. He still wants me to do the HSG but I don't know if I will. One one hand I would like to get it cause it is said that you are more fertile after one, but on the other hand its kinda expensive and if I dont need it I dont want it. So we will see what happens with that. There is my update!

I dont get it...

OK I just have a vent... I may be a bitch for this but oh well.

Why the hell would anyone's doctor put them on fertility drugs before doing any infertility testing?? I think it should be MANDATORY to do some things before just giving them fertility medicine. I mean seriously, what good will Clomid do if your tubes are blocked or if your husband has bad sperm.. All you are doing is hurting your body unnessicarily by putting these drugs in your system. It really makes me wonder what else doctors give out that shouldn't be given out. I mean, if someone was coughing up blood, you would check for lung cancer and other possibilities before starting chemo right? So WHY the hell would you give fertility meds before checking and testing for what the ACTUAL cause is. I feel so sorry for the unknowing ladies whose doctors give them fertility meds without testing, because they probably don't know any better... and they probably dont know what HARM these meds can do.

Rant over.

Having a bad day

Work: Everyone is a freaking slacker and I am so underpaid and I can't find a new freaking job. I am so frustrated at the stupid appraisers in the office that can't get their damn reports in and in turn makes me stay late...... ughhhhhh.

Life: OK so I ovulated late this month, two days late. I talked to Chad about it and told him that we still needed to have sex. So what does he do, he "takes care" of himself.... WHAT THE FUCK. OK this was Tuesday night, I ovulated Wednesday. So we pretty much missed our window there. So Im just looking at the calendar to see when AF WILL be here since I O'd late.... March 27th. March 27th will be the 4 year anniversary of my dad passing away. Already a hard day for me as it is, then I will have AF on top of that. AWESOME. I can hardly freaking wait.

My period always seems to come on some eventful day, here is the breakdown:

November: AF showed on Thanksgiving day

December: She showed on Xmas eve

Jan: She showed on mine and chad's anniversary

Feb: On my niece's birthday party

Now March: On the dreaded anniversary...

Can't a girl catch a break???

Back from the Doctor!

This was posted on WebMD:

Well my doctor was VERY good. Apparently even though he is just an OBGYN infertility is one of his specialties. He thinks that I am having a weak ovulation. He says I O a little later than he would like to see and that the spotting and short period concerns him. I am going to have a progesterone test at 2, 4, and 7 DPO. Im really not sure why he wants to do it so many times, but he said he wants to get a real clear picture of what is going on with me. Then he wants me to come back on CD3 and get my CD3 blood work, then somewhere between CD7 and CD14 he wants me to get an HSG. He wants me to do it all this month because he says there is no point in wasting time. Oh and Chad is going to get an SA this Friday, he is going to an RE to get it done.

Further thoughts:

I am really glad that he is being proactive. At first he was like ok so you want to get pregnant, have you gotten off BCPs yet? I was like hold up we have already been trying, he was like oh ok that changed things, lol. So I then showed him my charts and started talking to him about my concerns. He says it looks like I O (DUH) he just thinks it could use a little boost. He also says I dont need to keep charting if I don't want to but I think I am going to anyways. I am kinda scared of having an HSG, it just sounds painful. He seems to really think that its just a weak ovulation though, so lets hope it is something that simple. I am so glad I went and didn't wait around a few more months, especially since he thinks that there really could be something going on in there... his words were (something is obviously not working right).

So I am going to have blood taken the 12th, 14th, 17th (all for progesterone), then the
CD3 bloodwork roughly around the 27th or 28th. Then the HSG at the beginning of April. Wow thats a busy month.... it will all be worth it in the end though :)

Been a While...

I have been super busy and haven't updated in a a while. I am going to the doctor tomorrow... yay! Hopefully I can get some answers tomorrow.

The lady who hit my car ended up avoiding me, so I just filed it on my insurance. Now they will go after her to pay us back for our deductible. BUT, I got a new car. Yay. It is a 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE completely loaded. Its sooooo nice and I love it! So Im totally excited about that.

There really isn't anything else for me to update about. Life has been pretty boring the past few weeks. Its that time of year where allll my nephews and nieces have their birthdays. So there has been a lot of family time lately.

I will put pics of my new car up sometime :)
