My First Fertility Center Visit

Okay, so today was the big day...my first ever appointment at a fertility center! And the good news is that I really like my doctor. What a relief! Well, there's even better news than that. Not only does he NOT think that I have a uterine septum (extra tissue in the uterus that needs to be surgically removed), he also thinks that my husband and I have a very good chance of being able to have a baby. He said that I have lots of good eggs and that I'm still young. (That's good news b/c sometimes I think I can hear that biological clock tick tick tocking in my ear!) He thinks I may need a low dose aspirin a day when I become pregnant again due to a possible clotting disorder. He also recommends that I begin a low dose Clomid (fertility drug) to help speed along getting pregnant. For now, the next step is an HSG (putting dye in my uterus and taking an x-ray) next month. Then we'll know for sure whether or not I have a septum. So for now it's more waiting. But he was very positive, very thorough, and seemed very confident.

Jay and I have had 3 losses. My doctor told me today that he and his wife also experienced 3 losses. It's very comforting to know that I have a doctor who truly understands where I'm coming from. He said that he would estimate my chances of having a baby with my next pregnancy at about 70%. Because 2 of my losses were technically chemical pregnancies he thinks that increases my chances for sustaining a pregnancy in the future.

We talked about so many things I can't even remember it all or write it all here. He listened to my seemingly endless list of questions and answered every one of them very patiently.
I'm so thankful for a good report. It's so encouraging & an answer to my prayers. Yet, I still ultimately put my hope and trust in God. Thank You, Lord, for answering prayers. Thank You for having a plan. Thank You for being so trustworthy & faithful!!
