Clomid challenge results

So the doctor's office called yesterday and after getting back the results of my blood tests, decided that my clomid challenge did work - my body does work the way it should when on clomid. She also told me that the doctor was able to have a conversation with my Endocrinologist and together they decided that as of today, I will need to discontinue taking Avandia & Byetta. I wasn't surprised, in fact I was a little surprised that there were not more drugs on my do-not-take list. I'll double check when I go in on Monday. Either way, now I'm a bit nervous about what my body will do without these drugs.

Finally our first visit

Well, we made it into the doctor's office and, wow, everthing went so fast! First, we met with the doctor to ask and answer questions. Than, we were escorted down the hall were I had an ultrasound of my uterous and overies and my husband was asked to give a "sample."

We met with the billing nurse and found out that our isurance doesn't really pay for 1/2 of our treatments, only "diagnoses" procedures preformed on our first visit - go figure.

We left with the knowledge that the next step is to do a clomid challenge to see how my body reacts to the fertility drug, clomid. If the clomid works for me (and doesn't work too well), we will try am insemination cycle.
