Fertility work-up here I come!
My husband's analysis results came in today, and everything was great (in the words of the dr, "really really really excellent"). That is a great blessing for us! He is a chemist and there is no shortage of his exposure to harmful chemicals, x-rays, a bunch of other rays and just some scary stuff.
On the other hand, that means it's all me. I am so grateful his test came back so wonderful, but on the other hand, and though I know I can't necessarily control what's going on, I feel like it's my fault. Does anyone else have occasions where they ask their husband "Will you still love me if I can never have more children?" or is it just me? I know his love for me will not change, but it's nice to hear... perhaps because having fertility issues has affected the way I feel about myself.
I finally started my period last night, so I called my doctor to schedule my HSG. I'm not exactly looking forward to it. Some people say it really hurts and others say it doesn't. I guess I'll find out. This is my first fertility test (other than a blood test) so I'm both anxious to get on with it, and reluctant to face reality.

And yes, I have asked my hubby that quite a few times. :)
And really...I have had several HSGs..I don't think they hurt.
