The latest in my infertility

With the arrival of AF, I dropped by the doctor's office today to donate a little blood so they can test for a few hormone levels. I also scheduled an appointment for next Monday at 8am to have air and water flushed into my female regions to check for blockages, scar tissue etc. I've heard the procedure is not pleasant and can be painful. Ibuprofen is a must prior to the procedure and a friend even suggested valium. I think I can manage with Ibuprofen. My pain tolerance is low but not that low. I just whine a lot. I'm hopeful for not pleasant considering I must return to work after I see my tubes on TV. Then the next day armed with all of our results from the sonogram of my uterus & tubes, the bloodwork and J's semen analysis we sit down with our doctor and discuss the next step. I did buy a Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor in April so I can finally give that a try this cycle. I set it up on Saturday so I'm just waiting for it to begin asking me to pee on a stick.
