A New Chapter

Well, I went through the HSG test and I gotta be honest that I was dreading the test the whole time. I was scared to feel what I was going to feel and nervous what I was going to see. Are my tubes open? 

Happy to report, YES THEY ARE OPEN, but what the hell? Why no baby then? I didn't experience any cramping whatsoever. I'm not sure if it had to do with the 400mg of Ibuprofen I took an hour before the test or because my tubes were open. Nonetheless, it was pain free but slightly uncomfortable. 

Catholic OB called me the next day and went over the test and just as I anticipated, he referred us to the Northern California Fertility Clinic. So, here we are, about to start a new chapter in our lives. I'm scared. I'm nervous. I'm anxious. I'm excited. I just want to move on. 

Our lovely packet came in the mail and I gotta admit that I still can't believe that we are having problems conceiving a child despite the fat teal print staring right back at me with the words, " fertility medical clinic." Why, oh Why God? What are you trying to teach me? Because seriously,  this is causing nothing but stress and lots of emotions. 

I've also made an appointment with a acupuncturist that specializes in infertility and works with the fertility clinic we are going to go to. Unfortunately, even though our insurance covers acupuncture 20 times of the year, they don't cover this particular one. There are designated acupuncturist we are supposed to go per our insurance and they aren't one of the ones listed. Go figure, right? Infertility is always associated with high costs. Hmph! 

Anyways, I'm looking forward to meeting Dr. Cherry (acupuncturist). I've read nothing but great things  about him and hoping that his regimen will just enhance us.
