We'll hopefully have a game plan finally! I suspect based on DH's MFI and my lazy slow growing eggs (which I hope I'll get an actual dx) that the RE will suggest IUI's (at least I think so)
I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I'm hoping for some positive news. I'm just worried that they'll tell us something bad
I'l do my 3T weekly check-in update after the appointment!
Wish me luck ladies

DH= burn vic, abn sa MFI|| ME= PCOS, Sarcoidosis, Hypohyroidism HSG-OK
tried naturally 2011 & 2012-
TTC with nurse practitioner 2013
2 clomid cycles- both bfn, started seeing RE 2013
FEBUARY PLAN-HSG||March Game plan-FEMARA IUI+TRIGGER
So it looks like we are going down the IUI route like I suspected. I didn't really get a dx, just that it looks like I ovulate later in my cycle then the average, and that my uterus looks fine and tubes are clear. I was told my retroverted uterus isn't a problem. DH has a count of 164 mil ( I guess I misunderstood the nurse who I spoke to on the phone since I thought he had a low count too), but only about a 10% motility rate. His hormones and scrotal ultrasound were good though.
So now I just wait til AF arrives before I can start the Femera. I haven't ovulated yet this cycle (but I think I will sometime in the next couple of days) so it's still at least 2 weeks away!
I'm actually feeling really good about all this
