Total turn of events!

Waiting a whole three weeks to talk to your doctor about tests results is torture. For three whole weeks I had to go off what little the radiologist told me after my HSG, and whatever I could find on the internet. All the radiologist told me was that one fallopian tube never opened and the other only barely opened with a lot of pressure. To me, that meant blocked tubes. And on the internet I found that the only treatment for blocked tubes is surgery or IVF. I spent weeks mourning the fact that I may never get pregnant again. Researching costs of IVF and adoption. So basically, three weeks is way too long to be kept guessing!

I finally talked with my doctor today!

Turns out all that mourning was unnecessary. When the radiologist told me that tube only "barely opened" with a lot of pressure, I assumed it would only EVER open with a lot of pressure. Turns out instead of being like a clogged artery, it's more like a stuffy nose. Once it's cleared, it's clear. And I should be fertile for several months!

My doctor did diagnose me with PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, which causes infertility. But he's putting me on clomid and metformin to aid in ovulation, and we're starting this week! So I have a chance of getting pregnant this month! Oh I'm hoping and praying for it!!

I am so thrilled about this turn of events! I feel silly about the last month of worrying, but what else could I have done? I stink at waiting. So I research. And obviously I'm not always right with what I come up with in my research. But I can tell you, I've never been so happy to be wrong! :)
