Hello all! I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. Hubby and I have been a TTC for a little over a year. My OB did some basic testing, day 3 and 21 blood tests, and it appears that I am not ovulating. He followed up with an ultrasound that showed small cysts on my ovaries consistent with PCOS. So he referred us to the fertility Center. We had our first appointment there this past Friday. So it was just a lot of formality, going over some of the tests that will be done, what to expect. Signing papers. The doctor was so very nice, so far I like her. We both had blood drawn. They gave us the lab slip for a semen analysis. I have to go day 3 of my next cycle for bloodwork, and a baseline ultrasound of my ovaries, then again on day 21 for blood work and another US to see how the follicles have matured. Mid cycle, I will have an HSG. Follow up appointment at the end of January to go over all of the results and create a more solid plan. I’m very nervous but glad to begin getting answers.
