First appt with the RE

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Hi, all,

I have my first appointment with the RE tomorrow and I'm a little anxious. I've done three cycles of Clomid with my OB/GYN with no luck. I got pregnant with my daughter on the third round before so this is uncharted territory for me this time.

Any advice about what to expect?
Thank you!!

    How long have you been TTC?  Did you have any testing done before taking Clomid (CD3 b/w, u/s, HSG, SA for your H, etc)?  Were you being monitored throughout your cycle (CD3 b/w and u/s, midcycle follow up)? 

    I'm glad you're moving on to an RE, they really are the people who should be giving and supervising any fertility treatments.  As for what to expect, try checking out this thread: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12186048/finally-made-the-appointment#latest

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I had an HSG and DH had a SA when we were TTC with my daughter. I had bw done throughout my cycles, but no ultrasounds. I know that is frowned upon, but I know that and am moving on for more monitoring.

    I went off BC in January and started temping in Feb. The only time I have ever ovulated is the month I got pregnant with my daughter while on Clomid, so I didn't start getting serious about temping and OPKs until July when I started Clomid.

    So far, my CD3 bloodwork has all been normal, my progesterone has just been really low, obviously since I haven't ovulated on any of the 3 cycles.

    Yeah, I was expecting a repeat HSG, especially because I did have a partial blockage before. My OB/GYN mentioned that they would likely re-run that and the SA.

    I know I didn't ovulate on any of these three cycles. The month I got pregnant with my daughter (3 1/2 years ago) I was able to detect O with temps - even while on Clomid, but then it was confirmed with P4.

    This time, though, I got an LH surge, but never ovulated.
