HSG and SA Results!!!

I got back the official results yesterday of my HSG and DH's SA. My tubes were all clear and his sperm are very good. DR G called in a script for Clomid and I will start that next cycle. The best news was that my insurance covered the Clomid. Yay! My script is for 5 months but I am really hoping I won't need it all that time. I have heard of women getting pregnant immediately after their HSG. Maybe we'll finally have some luck! I am p+6 today so we'll know in just over a week.

And It Begins Again....

I went to see Dr G. for the first time on Monday and she has made me cautiously optimistic. She immediately ordered an HSG to check my tubes and I did that test on Friday. My tubes are perfectly clear. YAY!!! Our next step is a SA for my hubby and blood work for me. Then next cycle I will start Clomid. Since I have been feeling so good Dr G. feels that my infertility is not due to the endo but rather a case of unexplained infertility. Lovely. She is Catholic and understands my feelings about ART and knows flat out I will not do it. She appears to be willing to try anything and everything she can do to help us get pregnant. The bad thing is, the very first test she ordered, my insurance will not pay for. I asked that they bill it anyway just to see. Hopefully they will at least cover the PG test and maybe some of the radiology fees. I am hoping they will cover my drugs but I am not holding my breath. I really don't want to go into debt to treat my infertility when we really should be setting money aside in the event we do adopt. DH mentioned adoption on Monday after my DR visit. My new doc is a major proponent of adoption. She adopted her only child at the age of 40 after years of unexplained infertility. Her son is now 21. I have heard that she has helped to place many a newborn from this county into local homes of couples wanting to adopt. It would be so nice to be able to adopt locally and avoid all the agency BS that goes with adoption. We started down that road a few years ago and it was a nightmare. My heart cannot handle any more nightmares.
