So I had my HSG today! and........everything's clear! No blockages I'm my tubes, uterus looks great. I made my appointment to go back to my OBGYN for august 4. So that's when we'll probably start clomid. Probably won't be able to start til the next cycle though because I'll probably be on about day 7 by then.
Hi! I'm Caitlin, wife of James and mama of Maxwell. I am a proud USCG wife, former ballerina, photographer, and retail manager. Being a working mom isn't easy, and this blog gets {seriously} neglected now and then {most of the time}, but I keep up with it when I can.

Results are finally in!
I talked to my OB today and she told me that my blood work shows that I did not ovulate this month and she thinks that I've probably been having anovulatory cycles off and on throughout us TTC. That's why we're not getting pregnant and my cycles are not normal lengths. I suppose this is good news since that's something that can be corrected with medication.
My period did start today, weird, because I didn't have ANY PMS symptoms this month. Usually I have really sore boobs, cramps for like 4-5 days before, I feel like a whale, etc. But nothing this time. I still don't even have cramps. Odd.
Next step: The HSG. I have to call and make my appointment tomorrow. Hopefully they will be able to squeeze me in before I leave for Emma's wedding! Otherwise, I'll have to wait til next cycle. After the HSG is done and they know my tubes aren't blocked, I will go back to my OB to be put on Clomid to see if they can get me ovulating. If after a few cycles of just that I'm not pregnant, she will refer me out to a fertility clinic for further evaluation.

No testing today because I couldn't wait and ended up testing last night. It was of course negative, like I knew it would be, but I couldn't help getting excited that I was 13DPO and no sign of my period in sight. My temperature dropped this morning, so I'll be waiting all day for my period to come, I'm sure it will, it never fails. I'm just really hoping that if I really am not preggo, it will start today so that I can go ahead and schedule my HSG and move forward with this process. Oh, and I'm supposed to be calling my OBGYN today about my test results from the blood work. Don't know if I'll get them today, but I called yesterday and left a message asking when I would be hearing the results and they left a message saying "call back tomorrow". So cross your fingers for me!

Waiting
I got my last blood draw done yesterday...I'm going to be a pro at this needle thing after this is all done! They said they would call me when they get all the results back from all three draws.
If this cycle didn't work, I'm still going to go in for the HSG, but we probably won't get to try next cycle because James will be in DC. So keep your fingers crossed!!!

Even though Fertility Friend is telling me to test on the 6th (which is 14DPO and day 27 of my cycle) I think I'm going to try to hold out this time until the 7th. And I'm only going to test if my temps are still up, because the last 2 times I tested, I got my period either the next day or later that day.
