I hate tests...

I am scheduled for CD3 testing on Wednesday morning. I was also supposed to set up the HSG but the nurse for the specialist has not received the memos from the US to send to my ob/gyn and is concerned that my Dr won't set up the HSG without it. We shall see if she'll just make the arrangements and then read about the great situation that we're in. Anyhow, DH had his blood draw today so he just has to wait for his prescription.

Headaches...

It was a crazy night - I was on somewhat of an emptional rollercoaster and DH wasn't having a good time either. We touched base on the ride in this morning and are more optimistic about the whole thing. DH has been reading about the excess prolactin and the scan for the pituitary gland tumor and is hopeful that the MRI won't find any abnormalities. In my case, I've been reading more about fibroids, pregnancies with them and without, the surgery process (and recovery time) and diet. I think I'm in good hands and hope we can get moving, KWIM!

After 8 months, we move into doctor's appointments

Well, today was the day of the big appointment. First we were in a bad mood. DH got the results back from the prolactin test and the levels were elevated so they want him to do an MRI. So we were thinking about that when we got to the office. After waiting for 45 minutes (and thinking) we met the doctor who was great. We discussed our histories and discussed options due to my medical conditions and DH's situation. It is looking like IVF is somewhere in the near future. I then had my examination and they found 3 fibroids in my uterus - 2 outside and one inside. One is the size of a softball (explains how I can still be in shape yet my waist size hasn't shrunk!). I was more than a little stunned and upset. Anyhow, I have to have a hysterosalpingogram and then we'll discuss surgery as the internal one may have caused the events of March. He also wants me to do day 3 blood work next week and for DH to start Parlodel even as he waits for the MRI. In any case, the doctor says that both situations are not a problem and he will get us pregnant! As you may imagine, I have a lot of reading to do tonight.
