We just got back from our appointment. My hormone levels including FSH levels are all normal. The doctor said that my bloodwork suggests that my ovaries and everything else are functioning quite well and that my egg count should be good as well. However, the sonohystogram says otherwise. We are going to go in for another blood test on day 3 of my next cycle to check the anti-mullerian (AMH) hormone which will give us a better idea. We will also be getting another ultrasound done on day three because our doctor said that is the best day to check the ovaries. We were told that women are more fertile in the months following a sonohystogram. He's also given us the option to take a small dose of Clomid along with Intra Uterine Insemination. We'll see how I respond to the Clomid. I think it's called a Clomiphene Citrate Challenge test. Based on the findings from my next blood test and the ultra sound we'll have a better idea of my egg quantity. If we do find that my egg quantity is low, we may take a more aggressive approach but for now we're going to try clomid. Thanks for the advice. I'm feeling better after talking to our doctor, but we're still not sure what's causing our difficulty in conceiving. Hopefully soon I'll have some good news to share.
