Fertility Drug

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while just thought that i would wait until after my hospital appointment to do an update.

Results from my HSG test (read more)-

So I had my appointment at the hospital on tuesday and it turn's out my right tube isn't blocked after all. I couldn't believe it i was expecting the consultant to tell me it was blocked. So it turns out during the laparoscopy read more here my fallopian tube went in to spasm and that is why they wanted to do the HSG to check if it was really blocked or not. So as you can imagine we were really happy about that.

Next Step-

After hearing some good news for a change the consultant asked what we would like to do next and between the three of us me, Thomas and the consultant we decided that I would try a fertility drug called CLOMID (read more here)  He explained to us that there was a chance that we could have twins but not triplets haha and he also explained the side effects and also mentioned something called Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome-  This is when the ovaries become dangerously enlarged with fluid. But he said the risk of this happening is very small.
I start my Clomid next month as it was to late to start this month. I have to take one 50mg tablet once a day on days two and six of my cycle. I have six months of clomid but hopefully I won't need to take it for that long :) also on day one of my cycle I have to ring Sarah the nurse to arrange for me to go in for a scan. He didn't say what type of scan but after doing a bit of research I think it will be an internal vaginal scan. can't believe how scared I was the first time I had to let them see my bits lol but it's like nothing to me now as I will let them do anything if it means I get my baby at the end of it. It was so funny because when I had to get the HSG test done I had three women in the room and the nurse was like relax and don't worry the door is locked and no men will walk in lol. Anyway the scan is to see if the clomid is working and if it's not they will up my dose to 100mg for the month after.  

Hospital Appointment-

Also I recieved a letter this morning telling me that I have another appointment in september but hopefully I wont be going to that :)
