Meet the Fertility Specialist

This afternoon Andy and I went to see Dr. H, a fertility specialist. I was very nervous before going...not knowing what to expect. But it was nothing to be nervous about. We met with Dr. H. She asked us a lot of background questions and then mapped out our "Plan". Since I took the 50mg of Clomid and haven't ovulated yet, she did an internal ultrasound (u/s). She looked at my ovaries to see if there were any folicles, but there weren't, which means this dose of Clomid didn't work. She doubled the dose and I start taking it immediately. Thank GOD! Then in a week I go back again to have another u/s to see if this dose worked.

Once it works, then she'll give me hCg hormone to make the eggs drop and two days later they'll wash Andy's sperm to isolate only the strong ones and do an IUI. EEK! Unless of course we conceive on our own. After the IUI I'll take a pregnancy test and hopefully it works. I read that they will do this 3-6 times so if it's not successful right away, there's still hope.

Things are getting more explained and looking more possible every week!
