Good News!!! (UPDATE)

fondreflections · Aug 8, 2007

Firstly, thank you all for the support and (((HUGS))). I really needed them yesterday. By the time Jake got home from work, I was almost out of my mood. It meant the world to me to have someone to talk to who had been there. I didn't mention anything to Jake or anyone else for that matter because I didn't want him to "tell off" Sophia or anything. I didn't want any trouble...

So on with the good news, my tubes are perfectly normal!!! Thank Goodness!!! The technician was a nice guy in his forties. The test, honestly, didn't bother me much at all. I took 2 Advil about 3 hours prior, but the whole thing really didn't bother me. I have some cramping now but good otherwise.

I didn't even have to ask the tech. He told me straight up. I thought that was nice of him. Tomorrow I go for the final test - the uterine thing.

Also, Jake went for his part today. He had to do it in the clinic since we live 1 hour away. I kind of felt bad like what a way to spend your day off. He never complained or anything. Actually, he was quite mannerly about the whole thing. They took about 8 tubes of blood and sent him to "the room".

I'm hoping that the results for that will be in tomorrow when I go for the final test in the clinic. I'll keep you girls posted! <img src="">

So far, the only problem is PCOS! I hope it stays that way! Keep your fingers crossed. The tube test was what the doc was worried about since I had the two major surgeries down there 10 years ago. Thank Goodness!!! <img src="">

Good News!!!

Hi Jenny,

This is wonderful news, and I'm glad your HSG was as painless as mine. I read so many horror stories online, I didn't know what to expect!

I know there's all sorts of performance pressure when men have to leave samples, but puhleeze! LOL! If that was the "worst" of my medical evaluations, I'd be thrilled! It sucks your DH had to drive so far though. We were lucky, our RE clinic was in town.

I'm still sorry about the PCOS diagnosis because that is a big deal. But if it's the only deal, I guess that's a good thing. Congrats on getting this far!

Tara,

Let me check myself for a moment...Okay, I know that if you don't ovulate then you can't get pregnant. However, isn't there so many options out there for PCOS? Like Clomid, shots, and other pills? You can still do IUI or IVF if the husband's sperm isn't a factor, right? There is also the random chance that you can conceive naturally with only Clomid to help you ovulate, right? I still have lots of options, right?

Honestly, I'm not worried about my test tomorrow. I'm not. I'm more worried about Jake's test today. I know his job as a Business Manager really, really stresses him out. Trust me! If he is stressed enough, can it affect his sperm count too greatly?
