The Short Version

Since I am starting this blog so late in the game, each entry could get lengthy but I am going to try and paraphrase.

After a year of trying unsuccessfully, as in not a missed period or miscarriage, we went to a physician. I decided just to go to the OB GYN I had been going too as I did not have a family doctor. The doctor did your basic pap smear, which came back normal, and decided to put me on Clomid. This medication is prescribed to initiate ovulation. I was on this medication for 3 months and with no luck.
Next my doctor scheduled a hysterosalpingogram at Iowa Radiology.  In short this is where they insert dye into your uterine cavity and if your fallopian tubes are open (which is what you want) the dye will spill into the tubes. This came back as a positive. My tubes are open and in working order!!

This then lead me to Mid Iowa Fertility Clinic. This is the only clinic in the metro area that specializes in fertility. Oh man could I post a new entry on my thoughts about Mid Iowa, but I will stick to the events rather than my opinions!
