This is a slow process apparently.
We had our consultation about a month ago. The doctor suggested that J get another semen analysis, which he did. The doctor also recommended that I call on the first day of my next period to schedule some day 3 bloodwork and set up an appointment for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). He said that prior to the HSG he'd like for me to have a good, medium-to-heavy flow period so that my lining gets good and flushed out. I expected to get my period within a week of that appointment because my temperatures indicated that I had ovulated about 9 days previously and my temperature dropped like a rock very shortly thereafter, but I didn't. It finally showed up on a Sunday night almost three weeks later, which also happened to be the night before I left to go on a business trip, a trip which precluded me from going in to get my bloodwork taken care of but I went ahead and scheduled the HSG. And then the period turned out to be really short (~1 day) and really light and therefore not at all what the doctor had said that he would like for me to have. Since I wasn't sure if I wanted to waste our time with the procedure if it was going to give us screwy results as a result of my lousy period, I called the doctor's office yesterday and talked to a nurse. She talked to the doctor and they had me go in this morning for a pregnancy test and, since it was negative, I'll be going in again on Friday morning for the HSG. I'll have to wait until after my next period (and hopefully it's a good one!!) to do my day 3 bloodwork, and then we'll meet again and talk about the results of J's test and my tests and figure out where to go from there.
So...that's where things stand. After the HSG on Friday, if I'm up for it, I'll provide another update.
