Well, good news I guess...I finally got in to see the doc on base to get started on the fertility process again here in Japan. It seemed pretty straight forward and even learning some new things that I hadn't picked up in the last four years. He of course is running an entire battery of blood tests again, from the beginning. Which I'm not complaining, because what if things have changed? Or the other docs missed something important? He also is testing for more conditions also, which I'm happy about. He also increased my dose to 1700 mg of Metformin a day...wowza! And I'm back on Clomid (here come the hot flashes). The Met. is making me feel nauseous though and making me drop weight again. Which I'm complaining about, I just hope it's not too much, or I'll have to intake more calories per day.
So if everything with the blood work comes up as previous or nothing else can be explained, then my doc is going to refer me to a fertility specialist in Fukuoka to get an IUI. Which, I'm all for, in fact it seems fertility expenses are a lot cheaper here in Japan - so coming here might have been a plus for us right now. The doc says I'm still young (yes...I know), so not to jump into IVF until a couple rounds of IUIs come up with nothing. But, that's getting ahead of myself just yet.
The waiting game continues tho >_<
