AFM I am on CD16. I haven't o'd yet, but have had some watery CM the last few days. DH is home sick today with a fever, but we are gonna BD tonight anyway. I told him I'd wear a mask

I went to my appointment with the reproductive endocrinologist today. She was very nice, and is suggesting a bunch of tests. Same tests that your doc is telling you to get Socalimom. Some of the tests I have no problem getting, but the HSG test sounds hideous. Socalimom, you mentioned they precribed you medication to take before the test?? what kind? All my doc said was to take advil 1 hr before?

Another thing that confused me was she told me that if it came to taking medications like progesterone or clomid that I would have to wean? First of all, Im not sure I would even take them nursing or not, but many of you ladies have taken 1 or both while nursing right? So why would she tell me that??

Im going tomorrow to have the follicle monitoring test...seem harmless enough, and DH will do a SA. He was slightly offened I think! Next cycle they want to get all the hormone levels at CD 1-3. The HSG is the only test I really don't want to subject myself to. I know that scar tissue from C-sections can cause adhesions, and doing this test would allow them to see if this was the case, but from what I have read, that is fairly unlikely. I have a while to think about it cause they have to do it on CD 5-12.
Marnica~Glad to hear you've gotten some input from your doc Not sure about clomid/prog. Ithought u could take while bfing as well . I don't have any answers to any of your ?s though, sorry .

Seafox: Congratulations!!

Marnica: My dr. wants me to take clomid next cycle but said I could take progesterone first to see if that helps - though she doesn't think it will be enough. She knows I am nursing. She ordered hormone testing this cycle first though. I don't plan to take the clomid but I do plan to try the progesterone.

AFM: Day 15 and OPKs still not +. I got a dif. brand OPK this month and I don't like them. Wonder if they are working? I O'd on day 15 the last 2 months. Anyway, I'm guessing sometime in the next few days. Or now even and maybe the OPKs aren't turning positive for me.

Marnica~ Why would they do your HSG between cd5-12 ? I'm expected to have one done next cycle if there is a next cycle and was told it would be done between cd7-14. They prescribed Motrin 800 mg oral tab and Doxycycline Hyclate(bira-tabs) 100mg and i was told that Radiology would tell me when to take those before the day of the HSG. I'm still waiting for Radiology to call me to even set up the appointment date. Dh goes for his SA Thursday

That is strange....for both things...the HSG info and the meds and nursing info. I'm going this am for a follicle monitoring test so I am going to ask about these discrepancies for sure.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing "and for me"?

I'm wondering what brand opk's others are using and what cd you start?
post #290 of 336
mamw/two~I really don't use them too much, but when I do, I really like the store brand midstream (like CVS, which carries 7 tests for like $17.) They aren't AS expensive as some others, but are definately accurate! You could buy some online, which I've heard others review pretty positively. It really depends on when you O to determine a start date for testing. Inside the pack, though, they usually have a chart for reccommendations on a start day depending on your cycle length. If you know your lp is a little shorter/longer, you can always adjust accordingly. I.E. based on my cycle length, they usually say to start on cd 15, but I have a shorter lp and know I would never get a positive that early. I have started as early as cd 17 in the past I think. HTH
