HSG test results....

We are ALL CLEAR! So that means we got 3 more IUI's and pray something takes. We have our plan for next cycle using Follistim Injections again. The last month we did IUI we for 4-5 good follicles using it, so we are hopeful again.
The dr. Mentioned that people tend to be more fertile the month following an HSG test. Who knows, but at this point we will take any help we can.
The medication nurse was soooo nice! She asked how much we have to pay for the follistim with the new insurance and so she went and found a coupon for us to use. It gets us 1 free 300 unit cartridge a month!!! So, we are "pretending" to be trying this month, and will get another one next month and we will have only had to pay for 1/3 of the medicine! THANK YOU!!!!!!
So I told her I would bake for her and bring her in some goodies on our next visit in about 3 weeks for baseline visit.
I love that we get hugs from them and they all know us by name...including me.
It was scary going in today because of the weather. Random ice storm. I'm so done with this stuff! I live in NC...I should be in capris by this time of year!
Feeling excited. Thanks for listening and all of your thoughts, prayers and suggestions. I would honestly be lost in this journey and feel very alone if I didn't have this wonderful support system.
