August 12th, 2015 - First Visit with A Fertility Specialist

So, today I went for my first visit with a New Fertility Dr. in hopes of conceiving again and possibly finding out why I miscarried. As my husband and I met with the Dr., She seemed nice and honestly very comforting. She did an internal ultrasound right in her office and my husband was actually allowed to come in -if I wanted- and she explained everything she was looking at on the screen. She told me that there was still some tissue left over and that she wanted to try and do a flush with Promentrium and she also wanted to refer me for a Sonogram to get a better look at things. I explained that I had never had one and she explained that, I would take a medication before hand that would prevent any infection an hour before the proceeder and then at the time she would insert a solution that would light up my uterus so, she could get a look at everything.

After meeting with her, we went for blood work -both myself and my husband-, now my husband has not had blood work since he was little and HATES needles so this was kinda fun, knowing it was his turn for pain. 😂 They took 15 things of blood from me that day and 10 from my husband. They were great and gave us orange juice and a cookie and I said "I feel like I just donated blood!" as a joke since that is what they give you at a blood donation clinic.

Afterwards, we were taken with the nurse to discuss everything that the clinic offers and the schedule breakdown and other tests that the Dr. wanted us to go for. I was given a ton of paper work and the prescription and we were told that she would see me after my Sonogram and when they get all the results.
