Hi Joyce. For me the next step was having my husband complete his test and because I knew I wanted to do IUI, I started the meds with my next cycle.

Hi JMD: by having your husband complete his test - what does that mean. My dh already went for his semen analysis and was fine. What is IUI. What meds did you start? thanks

My husband went in for lab work as well as semen analysis. IUI - intra-uterine insemination. I started clomid on day 4 of my cycle for 5 days, on cycle day 10 I took 150 mg follistism and a hcg shot on day 12 and I had an IUI on cycle day 14. I'm in the two week wait now. The meds are to control ovulation and to ensure mature eggs.

My doc said he wanted to test in this order: SA, Hormone levels ( prog) , HSG, Laparoscopy.

To "reply", looks like my doctor is going in the same direction. What is laparoscopy?

A laparoscopy is a surgical procedure where they cut you open around the bikini line, just a couple tiny incisions & fill your abdomen with gas so they can stick a camera called a laparoscope inside & look around. Basically checks for blockages, endo adhesions, scarring & stuff like that. You're under anthesia the whole time. I haven't had one yet but I think it's the next step for me as well. My dr wants to try 1 more IUI cycle after this one & if that one doesn't work either then we'll schedule a lap.

Like Mega said, they go in looking for scarring , adhesions, etc... they burn the adhesions with a laser and cut out any blockages ( polyps, cysts, etc) I am scheduled for my LAP on Jan 4th. . . . so I can fill in with all the details later.
