I got passed on...

After all this time with my OB/GYN who has been with me through all this reproductive crap for 14 1/2 years, the time in which I lost my ovary to a tumor. She had been through her having to remove my ovary, 5 (yes) 5 cysts, many visits of crying to her at appointments and her crying at my first OB appointment with DD for being so happy I got pregnant. She passed me onto the reproductive specialist. I thought I would do at least 2 more rounds of clomid with her, but nope. I got the call yesturday from the RE's nurse. I was surprised actually, wondering why SHE was calling instead of my OB/GYN nurse.

She explained that my DR wanted the RE to take over for me. They think my levels are too low. So now here is the plan (as she told it) we would do at least 2-3 more cycles of clomid with monitoring. This would allow them to see what is going on it there. Not much so far. Then if that did not work then we would move onto a IUI (insemination).

DH has to get a Sperm Analysis and he was not happy about that at all. Hoping the SA is fine (we conceived DD without help - his little swimmers should be fine right???)

I have some bloodwork to get done and we are starting over again next cycle, today is CD 10 so at lest 20 more days until we start getting serious.

On one hand I am happy things are moving forward, on the other hand I am scared this might lead to a IUI, because we have NO infertility coverage and everything will be OUT OF POCKET and we al know how DH feels about that, see post from April.

Wish me luck.

Thank you for your note. It was nice to hear of another person who conceived on the one time they BD in their cycle.

Good luck with the new doctor!Although I got a bit sad when you said you thought you would be with your OB for two more clomid cycles, I love my Ob and I would be sad not to see him anymore. Best of luck with everything!
