Thanks, Dot!  The HSG went well and everything looked good/great.  My RE said that I'll have increased fertility for the next 6 months, so we'll be making the most of this time.  ;-)  We talked about what to do next and she wants to try IUI with hybrid medication next month/cycle.  So I'm going to think about that and perhaps give it a go again.  In the mean time, I've started seeing a TCM Dr./acupuncturist.  She's got me on a high iron, low gluten, low dairy, low sugar diet.  She also recommended fish oil, and I'll start that as soon as I get it (had to order the kind she recommended).  It's day #6 and I already feel better.  It's also the first month I haven't taken Femara (in a few months), so it's hard to say what is affecting my energy and sleep (in a positive way), but either way, I'll take it.  It's probably a combination of the lack of meds and the new diet.  I've always had issues with low iron and I haven't done anything about it since my pregnancy 7 years ago.  I've been taking a pre-natal vitamin with iron for a year, but I also have a super high dairy diet (I live for cheese) and the dairy is likely blocking the intake of the iron. Hence the low dairy diet.  I felt great after the first acupuncture treatment and I'm looking forward to going again tomorrow.  It's all about getting that one good egg...and I'm feeling hopeful again.
