CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT

We had our first appointment with Dr. Archer. She was very friendly, asked a bunch of questions and gave me a ultrasound… Dr Archer saw 6 follicles on my right ovary and only 2 on my left… She could tell that I had ovulated from my left ovary. Dr. Archer could not see the left side of my uterus. She wants me to have the day 3 FSH and estradiol test, which tests the ovaries and a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), which is a dye test to show the Uterus and Fallopian tubes. Jason is going to having a semen analysis.

The day 3 FSH tests the Follicle Stimulating Hormone – the main hormone involved in producing mature eggs. It has to do with the amount of follicles. The older you get, the less follicles you have = higher FSH. Less than 10 = good response to ovarian stimulation. 10-12 = Fair. Normal to reduced… Over 20 = no go. Under 35 woman with higher FSH have a higher success with IVF than older…

The Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test is an x-ray that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes. This is a dye test with pictures taken using a steady beem of x-ray.

I did some googling and found information about uterus abnormalities. I could have a Unicoruate Uterus since Dr. Archer only saw the right side of my uterus.

My Day 3 FSH test is scheduled for 4:30 AM on Wednesday, January 7th.
My HSG test is scheduled for 7:20 AM on Friday, January 9th.
