    Woo! We are tentatively scheduled to start similar, but with Femera, as soon as AF shows. I'm nervous. Excited for the possibility. Anxious about the side effects. Totally freaked out about the HSG (I'm super sensitive to pain - maybe it's because I'm a redhead ;)). 

    Keep posted on when you start. Looks like we could be cycle buddies again!

    I had an hsg. Google scared me. It wasn't fun but it wasn't terrible. Much like a pap really but I did not have any visible blockage. How long have you been ttc? I was thinking I had to wait six months before getting aggressive. We had trouble before though.

    6 months...two losses...July and October...my Dr said he doesn't mess around after 35 time isn't on my side and he wants women to try to have as many children as they like whether 1 st or 10th...hate to use the word cool but he is:-) :-) I had a d&c last month in office with ob no pain meds what so ever...now know that's not normal..:(...he said the hsg should be easy then...on42 yeah I hope we are cycle buddies:-) :-) I should start Thurs or fri:-)

    We have been trying 16 months, with 9 months not preventing, and the most recent 6 months trying actively. But, I wasn't preventing in past years and never got pregnant, so I kind of knew something was up.

    @samuelsmomma, that's when I estimate starting as well, based on temps.

    Good:-) we can keep each other sane the next month...lol the Dr said to bd I think 9,11,13 of CD but H wants to all that week...lol is OK you think? I also seen clomid can lower ewcm so should we use pressed or something?

    The HSG isn't that bad... just take an advil before and bring a pad with you ( you may spot and may leak the fluid they use for a couple of hours) I went right back to work! My tubes were clear and it felt like a Pap for the most part... if you have blockage I hear that is when things get a little uncomfortable... Good luck!

    Yeah feels really good to be doing anything...my ob's plan was lets just keep losing pregnancies till one sticks:( my husband said wth he is a nut ...:) so glad I listened here and was aggressive until I got to see someone...he really doesn't think I have blockage but he said the procedure can clean you out and raises fertility for three months...plus he said why do anything wasting time then find out tubes or blocked...he doesn't like to waste a second...
