  Also, should I ask for additional testings? My U/S came back "normal" and we are waiting until my next cycle starts to begin Follistim injections with TI to see how I respond to the medication and then moving on to IUI #3, only this time, with a lot more monitoring, which I am very happy about.

   

  
  My Ovulation Chart

  TTC #1 since March 2010

  DH - SA = Low Morphology. Great overall count.

  August 2012: HSG - All Clear

  September 2012: Timed Intercourse 100 mg Clomid CD 4-8 w/ Repronex & HCG Injections = BFN

  October 2012: Timed Intercourse 100 mg Clomid CD 4-8 = BFN

  September 2013: New Doctor: 50 mg Clomid CD 5-9 & IUI #1 = BFN

  October 2013: 50 mg Clomid CD 3-7 & IUI #2 = BFN 

  November 2013 to ??? = On a mental break for now.

  If prolactin was in the higher range, it can interfere with ovulation (since it's the same hormone related to breasfeeding, which can act as birth control).

  TSH is related to the thyroid. Again, if thyroid function is out of whack, it can mess other hormones and ovulation.

  As far as other tests - I'm just going by your siggy which ends in 2013, so on this board I've seen women have a repeat HSG if you haven't had one in a year or so.

  Good luck with your IUI, and glad you're getting the monitoring!

  Did they check your estrogen, FSH, or AMH? Those are important tests as well.
