On April 30th we had our follow up appointment to find out about the hysteroscopy I had. The doctor said that if he didn't know that i had endometriosis and if he hadn't seen ultrasounds that look like i have a small uterus, he would say that everything looks normal. He said my uterus looks normal :) He is no longer concerned about this size or shape. Endometriosis will always be a concern, but not a big one. So...good news! I have a normal uterus! He gave us the ok to try intrauterine insemination (IUI) again. This time he doubled my dose of clomid, which will make me produce more eggs, also increasing the likelihood of having twins. And he put me on Metformin, a drug usually used to regulate blood sugar of diabetic people. He says there is literature to show that using clomid and metformin together will increase the likelihood of getting pregnant. So I'm trying it! So this month looks like this:
-Day 1 of my cycle, first day of my period: Monday, May 6th
-Day 3, today, May 8th i start taking Clomid.
-I take Clomid for 5 days.
-My midcycle ultrasound is scheduled for next Thursday at 9am. They will look at my ovaries to see if there are any dominant follicles. A dominant follicle is basically an egg ready to be "dispersed" into the fallopian tube.
So, we'll see! Now we wait for the ultrasound ;) In the meantime, we will be working, living life, and enjoying the beautiful weather!
