LMAOOO! You are a trip. hehehe

Well girl... when you call just let them know you are interested in doing a Fertility Workup. You may also ask them when is the best day of your cycle for you to do this workup because usually they want you to come in your 3rd day of your cycle in my clinic. I think it has something to do with what level the hormones should be at that time.

You may even ask if you can speak to the physician or ask for the doctor to give you a call back so that you can explain what you would like to accomplish in the visit.

Is your insurance only covering this visit alone?

I would say the most important things to get are:

The bacterial swabs (myco, urea, chlam)
The Pap
The post coital
the HSG
Endometrial biopsy
and the hormone testing
You may also want to include a thrombophilia workup in your blood tests

Those tests will tell a lot
They will also decide on what your next step is

OK, that sounds better.. just tell them I need a fertility workup, much easier. I think I will call them today and get the info since I know they are booked out a ways..

My ins rocks, I dont need referals and its always 100% as long as I go to an in network provider and facility... I have been an ins biller for 8 years so I am all over my benefits..LMAO, they are probably annoyed by it !

Default Killing Me!!!!

This whole waiting deal and having patience is not my thing. Sometimes I feel like maybe I shouldn't force it with the clomid or soy. Maybe I should concentrate on my health. I've heard quite a few ladies say that when they changed their diet and exercised....It happened. Then there's the other side of me thats like :clomid ! clomid! clomid! Whos to say, IDK...all I know is I want more than a photo album to prove that me and my hubby were joined in marriage! I'd love to see a face that was a mixture of him and me. I'm not venting in sadness or anything, just something I wanted to get out... I'm cool, so don't worry. Hey, I haven't seen Dura comment today, hope everything is good.

Well I'll chat with you all tomorrow...have a wonderful relaxing evening.

Lisa- hun did you adjust the temps or jsut change the time on those 2 days ?? You have to do the "temp adjuster" in FF and put in the regular time and actual time and temp and it will adjust to what it more than likely would have been. Have a good one ! P.S I say you do both, workout and take the clomid, what can it hurt ??

Where is everyone ???

Hey ladies! Omg my dog tried to attack a Hedgehog in our back yard! Josh saved him but he was soo adorable. I think next time we run into one we might keep it as a pet I had a friend who had one once. They are very easy to take care of much like rabbits! Anyhow... Hmm i think ill see what happens to my chart if i adjust the times. Lisa i know how you feel. I think stay with the clomid soy and try ot lose the weight. It doesnt have to be one or the other then you have everything covered and ya wont feel as bad if ur doing everything possible. Though i know its harder said then done. I am a VERY impatient person.My husband likes to joke when i want sumthing he always says BUT I Want a Umpa Lumpa NOWW in a whiney voice What can I say...lol. Plus im the type who until i have what i want i obsess... then i get it and im on my next obssession lol.

Hi guys! Everything's fine, no worries here. CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!

Lisa - I was kind of reluctant to go on Clomid too, and my doctor was just like, "well, you want a baby now, don't you?" And I did. Exercise and diet can't hurt, either.

Still no AF? Grrr!

Charisse - LMAO at your 10 pound baby! I think my husband was about that size when he was born (and no joke, he was the ugliest baby I've ever seen!). I was a premie, 4 lbs. Apparently your height and weight at birth has no bearing on anything afterwards - that's what I learned in medical school (it starts to correlate at age 2) - but it seems to me that I never meet big people who were tiny at birth or vice versa.

Incidentally, the way we're supposed to calculate "genetic adult height" is the average of the two parents' heights, plus 2.5 inches for a boy and minus 2.5 inches for a girl. I'm way below my genetic height (I blame PCOS - had my first period early and stopped growing right after), but my husband and his brother both hit it exactly. How about you ladies?

How are you feeling, Ebony? Antibiotics helping? How's little Storklet doing?

Dura, my antibiotics are working, except I am still having these uncontrolled fits of sneazing! I will sneeze like 10 times in a row! I have to carry a cloth around because when I sneeze I think every body fluid I have comes out my nose... LOL ewwwww I had sneezed and covered my mouth and nose with my hand and my hand looked like it was SLIMED like the Ghostbusters!

OMG, you mean my poor son will be only 5'5"? My hubby is 6 feet exactly and I'm 5'4"! Hmmmm you might have a link there for height and PCOS. I stopped growing shortly after my first period which I got at 10 years old! I so don't want my kids to have PCOS or it's symptoms. I'm going to get them loving cantaloupe and grapefruit juice! LOL
