So I had my sono-hsg on the 10th. It was not a very pleasant experience which I knew going in since I still remember my last one back from March 2009. Anyways appartently my cervix wasn't co-operating that day so it resulted in the doctor having to pinch my cervix with probably a hemostat or something so she could slide the catheter through. After doing this and injecting the saline she decided that they didn't get the picture that how they like it (of course this is after she pulled the catheter and clamps out) so they needed to do it all over again. Let's just say it was a very painful 30 minutes and I am glad that I should not have to do this ever again. The good news is the 2nd time every turned out good, which I probably could have told them before we even started that I don't have polps or fibroids, but you know how being IF we have to go through all this testing anyhow. Just like the first time I cycled in 2009, I ended up having to do 3 HIV tests that year. I don't do drugs, and have only had one partner my whole life (my husband who also is clean), but still they don't care and it is all part of their protocal. I did a HIV test in October 2008 for my greencard, then in March 2009 to do my first ivf cycle, and then in September 2009 when I went to the ob for the first time at 8 weeks after developing a SCH and spending the night in the ER.
So yesterday I had to go back to the RE to go over the upcoming cycle. DH stayed home with dd. The week before we signed the consent forms at the town hall (because they had to be noterized) and sent them so I figured since dh did his part he didn't have to come for yesterday's appt. Well turns out there was another consent form that they didn't give me before, plus dh messed up on one page of the other consent form so now we are going to have to go back to the notarary and get them signed, which pisses me off because if I would have known I would have had dh come with me yesterday and signed them there himself.
Since I have gotten pregnant twice before with the antagonist cycle my RE wants to keep it the same, she will start me on a higher dose of meds though since my fsh is now in the elevated range. Before I was receiving 375 mg of FSH and I only produced 6 eggs when I had just turned 31, so not sure what will happen now that I am 33, almost 34 and my fsh is 3.6 units higher.
I am due to start my period later next week and got the rx for the pill. They do want me to come in on day 3 for another u/s and bloodwork and only then start the pill if everything works good - namely I am not pregnant which I don't see that happening. It may happen for some couples that they get a naturally bfp just before starting ivf, but not us. Right now we have tried 37 cycles (maybe 38 I have lost track) and only gotten 2 bfp - both when embryos were placed in my uterus.
I will be on the pill for 2-3 weeks and then have a suspesion check so right now it looks like ER will be the last or 2nd last week of February.
I also found out all my bloodwork came back normal. Not sure how I feel about that. Though I didn't want to find out I had a clotting problem and that Caleb's death as well as my first pregnancy m/c could have been avoided, at least it would have given us a reason why his placenta died at 15 weeks and therefore a treatment to prevent the growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, and pregnancy loss from reoccuring.
