Official Plans

Well, two dates have been set so far. My HSG is scheduled for Jan 30th at SCH w/my Ob/Gyn. That is my regular day to work, but I was able to switch that day with someone for Feb 1st. I was hoping they could get me in on my day off, but it was either the 30th or wait until next cycle. That made it an easy decision.

I called my RE's office to see how to set up my cycle next month. I figured that just because I got it this time doesn't mean I will have another period on my own in exactly a month. I've never done that in the past. I've always been prescribed birth control pills or provera during previous down cycles.

The nurse said they would give me until Feb 17th (28 days) to get my period on my own. If nothing happens by then, they will check my progesterone level to see if I ovulated (and do a pregnancy test just in case). If it looks like I ovulated they would wait for me to get my period on my own, and if not, they would give me 7 days of provera to induce a cycle. I would like for it to be more predictable, but at least I have a concrete date on which to focus.

Katie,
I am glad that things are going a little more smoother so far than last time! I will pray that they continue to proceed well and that you will be pregnant soon! A week from today (Feb 1), I have my ultrasound and if you check my blog that day, hopefully you will know what we are having. Good luck and I really like your blog. It is a nice way to keep updated with what is going on.
