Well it looks like its time to try and make a baby again....
The Hysteroscopy
Last week I had a hysteroscopy with Dr. T and the procedure went well. I love my new clinic already. As they were putting me to sleep Dr. T told me to dream about visiting my family in Panama on a sunny beach. When I woke up I had a heating pad on my stomach and a pillow underneath my head. Dr. T came in and told me the procedure went well and that he removed a small polyp. He also said my uterine lining looks good and that anatomically we are good to go for my fresh IVF cycle in November.
FSH Results
Dr. T also gave me my FSH results after my hysteroscopy and my FSH is 5.9 and he said he is pleased with that. I will continue birth control pills and make an acupuncture appointment at the clinic next week, as well as make a payment on my upcoming cycle. Below is a chart explaining FSH from Advanced Fertility in Chicago and I found it to be quite helpful:

Below is a chart explaining FSH from Advanced Fertility in Chicago and I found it to be quite helpful:
| Day 3 FSH level | FSH interpretation for DPC Immulite assay |
| Less than 9 | Normal FSH level. Expect a good response to ovarian stimulation. |
| 9 - 11 | Fair. Response is between normal and somewhat reduced (response varies widely). Overall, a slightly reduced live birth rate. |
| 11- 15 | Reduced ovarian reserve. Expect a reduced response to stimulation and some reduction in embryo quality with IVF. Reduced live birth rates on the average. |
| 15 - 20 | Expect a more marked reduction in response to stimulation and usually a further reduction in embryo quality. Low live birth rates. Antral follicle count is an important variable. |
| Over 20 | This is pretty much a "no go" level in our center. Very poor (or no) response to stimulation. "No go" levels should be individualized for the particular lab assay and IVF center. |
Tons of Baby Dust to Everyone,
