Hi!! I am back! Been gone a looooong loooong time
Hi Ladies,
Donna here- xxkrazy4u on the knot...only posted a few times on the nest before losing my stupid password/login info and could not get on.
Anyway...updates...
DH and i are doing well. Bought a house a few months after the wedding...also got a doberman pinscher (Logan) November 2012.
I, sadly and frusteratingly, have been trying to conceive for over a year with no luck. I finally made the decision to see a repro specialist in the beginning of this month. I have had a slew of tests done and started Clomid...which to be honest i am scared of...only because a lot of women wind up with twins that way. Im 33 now and not that i am running out of time...but i feel like i wanted this all to happen..like months and months ago...ive been in such a depression.
Doctors dont really know what is wrong but suspected that my hormones were imbalanced. Monday they should have all blood work back. So i have been going to the docs about 2-3 times a week, have had 2 sonograms and 3 different rounds of blood tests. Next tuesday i am having an HSG done to check on my fallopian tubes for blockage. other then that my body is fine although i dont ovulate every month like i should which decreases our chances..My hubby hasnt been checked and in fact...he has been hard to convince to have his sperm tested...i think i may actually have him go tomorrow just to make sure that its not him if i can get him there not throwing a tantrum.but he is a bit embarrased and doesnt really want to go. Its not that he doesnt want to have kids, he just swears its me and not him. But again,...so far the docs have said everything looks ok otherwise. This last test will confirm if anything inside of me is hindering me getting pregnant. If all goes well i will get the green light for inter-uterine insemination and i hopefully will get pregnant.
anyway thats been the extent of my life...working working working... hubby has a new job as a geoprobe drilling operator with an environmental company...i am still with my own environmental company working as a project scientist and regional health and safety manager. aside from the baby stuff..everything else is going pretty well.

hey ladies,...yes i am a geologist...my husband runs a geoprobe (geo operator) so my company subs out his sometimes although i have yet to really work with him. We are now in the same field though...environmental construction.
so the latest in the baby saga... i went to have an HSG today. Its a dye test to see if my fallopian tubes were blocked. The schedulers at the radiology dept. failed to mention no sex at all until the procedure is done and said 24 hrs prior was all i had to wait..well... that puts me in a very low risk if by chance i had gotten prego on my own. H and I have not been intimate since the 12th..its now the 17th..as of yesterday my ovaries showed 2 mature follicles and 2 which were not but no ovulation ....this morning was my HSG. so the chances that sperm could live 5-6 days is nearly impossible and my chances are slim...but i still worry since the test i had was a contrast xray with radioactive dye. If i am preg. then just exposed my unborn child to radiation. UGH. as i said...likelihood is so slim though especially since i had not ovulated as of yesterday morning.
Anyone going through this whole specialist thing... it really blows...so many blood tests and sonograms... just a lot...
i feel better knowing im not the problem but now DH has to be tested and right now, since his job is new...no full term coverage through my work or his for medical.
