RE ADVICE
Just curious.. i really do like my office i switched to since my miscarriage... this office specializes in fertility they say..but i keep hearing all of you say to go to a RE. What do they do different?
So far my office figured out I ovulate too late, my uterine wall does not thicken and my husbands sperm is a 4 and should be a 5 (I don't know what that means). I did the post coital and that came out fine..so i feel they did all the right tests to start
They started me on clomid and Estrogen this cycle and I went in before i started it for sonos then after i started it to size my follicles and to tell me when i was ovulating.. the dr said i should ovulate last wed so i waited to do it then..i tested the day before and got a pos OPK but wanted to save the sperm so they would be stronger for the next day when i awoke that morning it said neg for O.. i literally broke down sobbing..but we did it anyway just in case. ... then last week I went in for blood work to confirm the O.. now is this what the RE does or do they do more?
The next step they have us doing is going to the urologist on tuesday so i guess i will learn more of about the SA...
I just don't want to be going through all of this if they are not doing the right things.
thx ladies

Re: RE ADVICE
I think the main difference with a RE on a Clomid cycle is your ovulation is tracked through frequent sonograms and blood work rather than OPK. I also used a trigger shot to make sure I ovulated and did IUI with Clomid. This was the "more aggressive" treatment my RE recommended. I also had to go in for a blood test during the 2ww to make sure my progesterone was adequate. If it is low, the RE will prescribe progesterone to supplement. HTH!

ok great i think i am at the right place then because i go in for several sonos while i am on the clomid and they do the blood work to check the progesterone a week after i ovulate..thx so much.. i think i will be getting the iui this month so i am praying its finally our month..
thx so much for your input and lots of to you all
