Dr Today.
Well I thought since it's been a year and a month or so, and no BFP I would go to the doctor today and make sure all my "plumming" is good.
Should I be asking any specific questions?? Anything you ladies can think of would be great.
What am I in for? I know my normal annual visit and such, but a lot of blood work?? Im not sure.
I think this is the first time I am excited about going to the GYN.
Thanks Chickies

Re: Dr Today.
I would ask for CD 3 testing. Also you may want to get a sperm analysis on your DH as it is very easy and non-invasive. See what happens with those. If normal move on to an hsg and post coital test. If those are normal see an RE

Re: Dr Today.
I also went for annual and told my doctor that I have been TTC for a year. She did bloodwork on that day, told me to return for CD3 bloodwork, gave me a prescription for the HSG to set up when I got AF and did a internal sonogram after AF, she also gave DH a prescription for a semen analysis.
It sounds like a lot but it wasn't.
Good Luck

Re: Dr Today.
These were my results from CD3 bloodwork....along with one of the girls interpretation of the numbers. HTH
FSH - 5.5 Under 6 is considered excellent.
LH - 6.80 Under 7 is considered normal, although a level higher than FSH might indicate PCOS.
Estradiol - 49 Another good number. Has inverse relation to FSH, meaning a high estradiol # and a low FSH # are not good, but high estradoil = over 75
Prolactin - 9.7 This # is also very good, and b/c it is so low tends to lower the chance that the high LH number is PCOS.

What she said! You should also ask for thyroid testing-very simple and it can play a part in infertility/miscarriage

Re: Dr Today.
Well I just got back from the Dr and he was so great. He is sending DH for a SA test to make sure the boys are all swimming nicely and he told me to start taking my temp to get an idea of where I am. I go back in a month for bloodwork and further test if DH comes back good. So I guess I will have to start doing the temp thing. I just wish there was an easy way to do it. Im not good with doing things smae time each day. I had enought time remembering to take my pills. So I guess this is good, right?
By the way, thanks girls.
