Hello
My husband I had been TTC for one year in October 2008. In October I went to my OB/GYN to start infertility testing. We did a semen analysis on my husband that came out fine. They did a vaginal ultrasound on me, everything looked fine. We did day21 progesterone bloodwork also which was a little low. They then put me on Clomid and Metformin. This is my 4 th month on the Clomid and Metformin. Clomid is 100mg and Metformin is 850mg twice a day. I do ovulation predictor tests and I do get a positive every month. Since taking the Clomid I have developed some cysts that do seem to go away on their own. So basically I am taking the Clomid and Metformin every month, going in for a ultrasound every month and doing progesterone bloodwork. My progesterone seems to be a little low each time. It has been in month order: 5,8,10,14. So, this if my 4th month on the meds. I was wondering if I need to move on to more aggressive testing or what exactly I need to do. I havn't had an HSG yet and I am wondering if I should bring that up to my doctor. I just don't want her to feel like I am telling her what to do. I am just so ready to a mom and I feel like there are other things I could have been doing or testing besides the meds month after month. Thanks :)
