TTC Post #5 - Our First Appointment at the Regional Fertility Clinic

Hubby and I had our first appointment at the Regional Fertility Clinic today.  I was really nervous and I didn't know what to expect.  We also were going to see a male doctor which made me nervous.  Turns out, our doctor is fabulous! He has an excellent "bedside manner" and a good sense of humour.  The clinic was extremely organized and we felt like we had enough time to ask questions and make sure we understood everything.  The doctor is sending us for more tests, Hubby is to have another semen analysis (test #3) and I am to have an HSG test.  Why do men get the better end of the stick?

From the test we got back today, Hubby's semen analysis is better than it was last time (woot!) and he thinks I have PCOS (boo!).

My OBGYN didn't think I had PCOS originally.  I do have some of the symptoms (not ovulating, irregular periods, trouble loosing weight) but not all of them (no extra hair, not overweight).  I'm nervous that this is going to be another road block in the road to getting pregnant, but I am happy that I have something a bit more concrete to research.

As for the HSG test, I am a bit nervous for that.  Most women who have had this say it's nothing, but one I know said it's extremely painful.  

Finger's crossed we can complete our tests and they go well!
