It feels weird to actually talk about cycle stuff after the last few months. Today is CD30 and I have no idea what is going on. I did not chart this month and am not sure when OV was. The last two months were perfect 28 day cycles and so far today there is not even a hint of pink. I had my doubts but I tested on Saturday and got a BFN. The holidays were not stressful for us so I do not think the delay is stress related. However I have been sick the last week with an upper respiratory infection and it has been kicking my butt. I have been on prescription meds and over the counter stuff - I think one of these is probably causing the delay. It’s nice to sit here for a moment, be completely unknowing and wonder what if. I do not feel different this month and have not noticed any symptom like things. I guess we’ll see how this week goes.
In the mean time, I finally talked to my Doc about our male infertility issues and asked if there was anything I could do testing while we wait for him to heal. She said she would be happy to send me for a HSG just to check all the tubes and such. I’m trying to find out if our insurance will cover any of it before scheduling it. If not then it will just have to wait a while. Keeping fingers crossed.

Good Luck with the HSG! Mine was pretty much painless. I know several women who have had them, and most of them have had at least some insurance coverage... I hope you do too!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the HSG! I know my insurance paid for it and I hope your's is painless. Mine was painful and had me out of work for two days. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the HSG. I'm in Canada so mine was covered, but it was great to know there was nothing in there. Your blog is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the HSG. I just had mine last week and I have two pieces of advice 1) demand that your doctor prescribes pain medicine and take it an hour before the procedure 2) make sure someone goes with you to hold your hand.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your doctor is happy to get the ball rolling with some tests for you while you are waiting for your husband to heal. Good luck with the HSG. I had a hycosy which is similar and it wasn't too painful, more uncomfortable. They advised me to take a naprogesic or similar an hour before to help. To me it was like bad period cramps.
ReplyDeleteI hope your results come back clear and 2011 is the year of the BFP for you!!
Hafta help me out, whats an HSG?
ReplyDeletethanks for all the support ladies!
ReplyDeleteRenee for short its a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). A X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them.

Bah! Sorry! Late to the party! But agree that it is great that your doctor is allowing you to use the time productively. Hopefully your insurance covers it and you will be good to go. Cant say I know what to expect from experience from what I have heard dose up on your pain killers and prepare to ooze blue for a while. (That part I can tell you from experience!!)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck!
