RE appt update

[HoneySpider]

Since you're all so invested in my ute by now...

All of my bloodwork was fine except my prolactin was elevated. Since I haven't had a problem with that in the past, she wants to retest and we'll go from there. My Counsyl test came back negative so I'm not a carrier for any diseases which is good, but my karyotype test is not back yet so we're still not sure if there are chromosome issues. DH's SA was fine (actually, improved slightly) and we still have to get his karyotype as well. 

She reviewed the films from my HSG in June and was not comfortable with the scar tissue from my D&E. So I'm going in January to have a hysteroscopy to have a better look and, if need be, have it removed. So between that and redoing the bloodwork, it pushes us back at least a cycle on starting IUI, which means Feb at the earliest. I'm disappointed in this but I also understand the logic that there's no point in moving forward if conditions are not the best they can be. Once we're ready to go, preliminary plan is to try 2 IUIs and then reassess, which likely means we'll move on to IVF. I just really hope that we can get everything taken care of the rest of this cycle and next so we can go in Feb. If not I might lose it.....after 3 years my patience is definitely wearing thin.

Overall I'm a little bummed and I'm trying to look at the positive that so far, there's nothing majorly wrong. But it really doesn't make me feel much better, at least not right now. 

Although DH is pretty confident last night "did the trick" so we'll see if there's even a need for all of this   Christmas miracles happen, right?!

((Hugs)) having nothing wrong can be majorly disappointing. I hope your hysteroscopy can get rid of any scar tissue and that it helps you get pregnant.

And lol at your H, Christmas miracles do exist. I'm hoping your get a Christmas miracle and we get a New Years one. (or even AF at this point.)

Christmas miracles happen!!!

Sorry about the delay. I really hope they get you in the absolute place so if you still need to do the IUI in February, you'll have the best shot. 2015 babies!!!

[spankswife]

I think that sounds like a good plan! You obviously want the best conditions possible!

Lots of hugs though!!

[tacocat]

Sounds like a good update!

Huge hugs for not really having an answer, but hopefully one step closer!

[travelbug]

It sounds like a good update. Sorry you have to wait until February though. It all sounds like really awesome progress. 2015 Baby for sure!!!

[HoneySpider]

Thanks guys...I know I shouldn't be bummed because I got the initial appt WAY quicker than I imagined and our original mindset was to start treatment in early 2015 anyway, so we're on track for that. It just seems really drawn out since every time we have to do something, I'm in the wrong part of my cycle so I have to wait. So annoying!

Sending big hugs!

I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle for you guys!

[wanderingenough]

Feb will be here before you know it!

Are they going to do an MRI? My prolactin was elevated which is the indicator for a pituitary tumor (benign). They can diagnose it with an MRI. The elevated prolactin makes your body think you're pregnant or nursing which can cause fertility issues. The treatment is just a pill twice a week which will shrink it and normalize your prolactin levels.

I'm sorry that you're pushed back a cycle. Waiting is the worst in TTC.

But lol at your H. I hope he's right!

If it comes back elevated again then we'll do the MRI. It was normal the last time I had testing done so it's possible this recent result was a fluke.

Sounds like a good update Also sounds like you have an awesome doctor you are working with. Hoping for that Christmas miracle for sure though!

[ginkgoleaf]

Glad you guys have a plan and hopefully your DH is right and you won't have to worry about it anymore!

[HoneySpider]

DH was so sure of his performance last night, it had me laughing (in a good way) I'm glad that after all this time, after so many "perfect" moments with no result, that he can still be hopeful and confident. Maybe one of these days he'll be right.

Also, he's probably kill me if he knew I was talking about this on the internet.

[travelbug]

I hope he's right, too

[estrellita]

Hoping for the best Christmas present ever! If not, at least you have a plan in place so that's good. Sorry you have to wait, but hopefully Feb will be the very latest!

[luv2rn4fun]

((hugs)) Sorry to hear that things are delayed but it does sound like a step in the right direction. I'm hoping your DH is right too! That would be the best Christmas present ever!

[katiek]

Big hugs, I'm sorry things are going slowly. I really hope your H is right and you get your Christmas miracle!

[melsamoony]

I am holding out hope for a Christmas miracle! Otherwise it sounds like you have a good plan. I am sorry you have to wait on in though!
