Intro from a lurker

Hello all! My hubby and I (28) are TTC #2 and I have a few questions for you experienced ladies. With my DS we TTC for 18 months with HSG, SA, and Clomid. I didn't ovulate on my own then and I'm still not now (per OPKs and CBEFM. I work nights and BBT is little to no help).
My questions are:
1. Should I have another HSG done during this stent of TTC?
2. At what point should DH have another SA? (First showed low morph but I can't remember the numbers now)
3. My CNM and OB haven't done any bloodwork or u/s during my current Clomid cycles. Should they be? I didn't have any last time either. I was just told (this time) to come in for an u/s on CD 18 if I didn't get a +OPK.
4. We've been at it 5 months this time, should I go to an RE at 6 months? I LOVE my MW, but I also don't want to waste any time if I need to go to an RE.
5. I think we'll be doing Femara this month. Any experience with both Clomid and Femara? I'm not sure what to expect.

Sorry for the novel! Thank you ladies! I'm sorry to be back, but I'm excited that you ladies are so supportive and knowledgeable!

    Welcome! Congrats on your DS. :)

    If you can't find any evidence of O, and with your prior anovulation dx, then it makes sense to make an RE appointment ASAP. Also, do whatever it takes to get monitoring now if you're in the follicular phase of your Clomid cycle - or you could have cysts, thinned lining, or higher order multiples to contend with.

    The RE will determine if it's time for a repeat HSG and SA. From spending time on 3T, my guess is that yes, it's time.

    Good luck, stay safe!! Hope your stay here is short.
