Lurker Intro and question

Well I have posted a few times before, usually questions but I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Dana. Live in Smyrna. I have  two doggies that are my children now but would really like a human baby!

We have been TTC for 9 months with no luck. Irregular cycles, no ovulation and such. I went for an HSG test today and the dr could not do the test because he said I have a narrow cervix. The cath would not even go into my cervix (TMI sorry). Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? I appreciate any knowledge.

  • Welcome to the board and good luck!!  I am sorry that I do not have any experience with your situation. 
  • Unfortunately I don't have experience in this either but wanted to say Hi!  It's great to see you over here.  Good luck with everything. 
  • I am sorry you are having trouble - I can relate to your frustration.  Were you sent for the HSG by your OB?  Have you considered seeing a fertility specialist?  If you do - there are a bunch of clinics in town, but there are 2 that are known to be the best.  RBA and ACRM.  There are pros to each clinic.  I went to ACRM and had a great experience.  I LOVE Dr Denis and recommend him, and the practice, highly.

    If you want more info about these two practices, feel free to email me at jandayatl at yahoo dot com.

    As for your narrow cervix, well, maybe this is good news in that you may have identified a possible obstacle to conception.  Knowing what the problem is gets you one step closer to your BFP.

     Best wishes.

  • No knowledge, but just wanted to say welcome and good luck!
  • Hi Dana!  So glad to see you on this side for real.  Sorry, I don't have any experience w/ your situation either.  Keep us posted, as you get to the root of the issues.  We'll be cheering for you!
  • Thanks for the warm welcome and the well wishes.

    Janimal- the HSG was ordered by my OB. My OB and I have a plan through the new year. If things don't work out I will be moving on to an RE. Thanks for the info. I maybe be contacting you after the new year if I don't get a BFP before then.

  • Just want to welcome you to the board.  I don't have experience with a narrow cervix but I do have irregular ovulation/cycles and know how frustrating that can be!!  Good luck!!
  • Hi and welcome!  I had my own IF issues but no experience with your particular one.  We did IVF at RBA.....saw Dr. Toledo who lots of other nesties have used as well.  It is a great practice, if you have to go that additional step.  Best of luck!
  • Hi Dana, I live in Smyrna too.  Our dogs could be twins!
  • Dana!!!  You know I have no experience with those issues but I am thinking about you and really hoping you get to the bottom of it! 
  • Betsey- Wow our doggies do look just alike. Crazy.

  • Hi Dana,

     I'm new too!  Based on the information you've given (TTC 9 month, irregular cycles, no ovulation) you sound just like me.  I never did have the HSG test before my BFP but it had been scheduled when I got it.  After not getting much of anywhere in trying to figure out why I wasn't o'ing with my OB I switched to another practice for a second opinion. 

    That new doctor thought it sounded like I possibly had PCOS (more info here if you're not familiar https://www.soulcysters.com/ I had 50% of the usually symptoms so my new doctor decided to try that course of treatment for a cycle and then do an HSG.  He put me on Metformin/Glucophage which is actually a drug used to treat diabetes and when I got to the right point that cycle he had me also add in Clomid.  We followed his calendar for when we should do the deed and low and behold we got a BFP that cycle.  SInce it happened so fast on those drugs I can't know for certain if it was one drug over the other or the combo of the two. Don't know if you and your doctor have talked about or ruled out PCOS but I thought I'd pass my story along just in case.

     Good luck, I know it is so frustrating to feel like your body won't cooperate.

     

  • Just a note after reading that last post --- Clomid is a powerful drug that helps lots  of women, but it is risky to take it without proper monitoring.  Some OBs give it out like candy, but without monitoring you can put yourself at risk for high order multiples and it can affect your uterine lining and contribute to cysts.  On Clomid I produced 2 mature follicles (eggs) but a friend on the same dose as me produced 15 -- I would be scared to death to try to procreate with 15 possible eggs in there!  So be careful.....
