After the Specialist Visit...

So, here's the run down on what happened at the visit. Eric stayed out in the waiting room. I went back and the nurse asked me some questions regarding my history and cycle. She was quite pleasant and easy to talk to, which was nice. After the vitals - it was time for the exam... I had to get undressed and put on the paper cover-up. Then the Doc came in - introduced himself then started checking the breasts... and so on. When he was done with the exam told me to get clothed and go down the hall to his office where I would be joining Eric.

So, I make it down to the office - shortly after the doc walks in. He asks Eric a few questions about his history and so on.

He then moves to asking me questions on what I've been on and if I'm still taking any of the medication.

He said before he can set up a plan on what to do next he'd like to know what's going on. There's three things that we need to do before our next visit.
1.) I have to get a series of blood test done - 10 of them!! (that was to be done after we left, which it was)
2.) I have to get a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) this is where they inject a liquid into me and then they will x-ray down there to see if the there's is anything wrong with the tubes or the uterus. (this should be done within the next week or so, they are to call with the appointment
3.) Eric has to get a Sperm Analysis with Morphology with Kruger Strict Criteria (which was to be done within a week, but the earliest appointment for the fertility center was August 29th!! Don't know what the doc is going to say about that).

I'm suppose to start taking my Metformin again (even though I HATE to take it) and take the prenatals. The one that he's giving me are HUGE! And on the package it states that they are "Small film-coated prenatal vitamin" Yeah RIGHT!

Anyways we are to meet back there in 3 weeks to work on the plan. We were told to get a copy of our insurance policy. I guess the office doesn't want to do their job and get any of that information. Oh well. One of the ladies at the front desk was a crotchety old woman looking like she wanted to retire. Arg! The other lady though was really nice though.

We are just in another waiting stage until we find out when I have the HSG done and go from there. Yippie! I HATE waiting!
