Third time a charm?

I went to my gyno for a sonohysterogram last week. If you haven't had the pleasure of having one, let me tell you....it's painful, uncomfortable and annoying. Basically, they use the lovely speculum and insert a catheter into your uterus. Then shoot saline through the catheter and watch on the ultrasound monitor as the water spreads throughout your uterus. It's like reverse peeing. Ridiculous. Anywho, mine went really well. The doctor says my uterus is perfect. They think the shadow on the ultrasound was probably just endometrial tissue. So I headed back to the fertility clinic, RBA with the results. The doctor's plan for me now is to increase my clomid dosage, put me on Estrace (estrogen) and progesterone. I took progesterone when I did IVF...boy, it makes you NUTS. So add higher Clomid and estrogen to the mix and I will be a raving psycho. I'm also going to try acupuncture this time. I really, really feel like my stress level and depression is affecting me in an adverse way. I need to take better care of myself and stop focusing on the negative. It's amazing how rejuvenated I can feel after spending time with my girlfriends. They are amazing. So, until mid August, my focus is on my health. Cheers!
