Hi ladies. Appt confirmed that my left tube is completely blocked off which I was kind of relieved to hear. No chance of an ectopic in that one as nothing is going in or coming out.
Doctor wants us to try Clomid for 3 cycles. And also have progesterone levels checked at CD21, 22, or 23. She doesn't think that we are having issues with ovulating though but wants to be certain. If no luck after the cycles we will begin the IUI process as long as O is happening.
We are going to take a break on our next cycle before starting Clomid in July
I am a bit uneasy about Clomid. Can some of you ladies fill me in that have experiences with it?

@luv- That is all so exciting! I am glad to hear you have a plan in place! Good luck! Well since I have already looked at the results we know they aren't too bad. haha Just the waiting for her to call so we can get a referral to an ob/gyn is starting to get to me!
@Janise- Good luck at your pap on Thursday!
@JLHart22- Good luck at your appointment today. Hope it's good news!
CD 4 here. Thinking af should be just about done with! I am not even sure what the next steps are. I have done all I can. I guess we just keep waiting.

janise GL with your pap sweetie!
JLH thinking of you during your appt!!
bluerose FX that you get a call soon, I imagine the next steps would be Clomid/Femara and maybe IUI, they might let you do timed intercourse instead. I forget, have you had an HSG?
Dev a lot of women have no problems on the Clomid, but I will tell you my experiences! I took it for 4 total months (one month off in the middle), and by the time they finally did an ultrasound in the 4th month they realized I had very thin uterine lining. Clomid can thin the lining and I would have liked to know how thick my lining was BEFORE the Clomid but I'll never know now. Moral of the story: DEMAND to have an u/s to make sure you don't have thin lining before they start you on Clomid! That being said, Clomid did give me two follicles a month at least, excellent post-O progesterone levels and a great LP. The side effects were fairly awful though, mostly emotional instability/anxiety and constipation that to this day requires me to take multiple stool softeners. Of course, if I'd gotten pregnant it would all have been well worth it!
AFM CD 7, took my last Femara this morning, feeling so good about my plan. I'm just glad I'll get an u/s next Monday with plenty of time to take estrogen and thicken my lining up if I need it. Feels like this is the first cycle where I might have even a chance of getting pregnant! I mean who knows how thin my lining was before? I'm basically starting at square one even though this is my 19th cycle!

Hi ladies,
Sorry about earlier...
Sooooo....the doctor basically said we have three options: 1. Open myomectomy, 2. IUI, 3. IVF. He suggests Clomid and IUI for a few months. I am actually going back THIS Thursday morning at 8:15 for bloodwork and an ultrasound, then they will call me back that afternoon about the Clomid. Then I go back on CD12/13 for monitoring and then the IUI once everything aligns. He is having us to skip the timed intercourse due to my history with the fibroids. I must admit I am excited to see how it will all work out and praying it works out.
Luv, thanks for sharing your story and for your tips! We are on our way!!!!!
Blue, when will she refer you all? Hope it's sooner than later, especially if that's what you want and need!
Jan, so far so good for us and our appointments, so I am praying all will go well for yours Thursday!!
Dev, hey there...looks like we are heading down the same path :) it will be interesting to see how it goes for each of us. I'm glad we have each other to lean on :)
