Hi all. I hope/think this is the best board for this question? A short background: 9 months TTC, 6 cycles, pregnant in Sept but loss in Oct. Long, irregular cycles ever since. I did bloodwork for LH, FSH, prolactin, and thyroid on CD36, right before AF showed. Doctor is now thinking PCOS but not sure until ultrasound results are reviewed at my appt next Wednesday.
I'm wondering where to go from here, if/when PCOS diagnosis is made. I'm unsure of trying any treatments (clomid, femara, metaformin, etc) before doing a basic infertility workup, to see all of what we are up against. Like, what if we do medications for months unsuccessfully, then find out I have twisted tubes or a uterine septum or DH has MF? From what I understand, there is a limit to how many cycles you can use clomid for? I'd just like more information before deciding on the best course of action, but that's my natural disposition - information junkie, here!
I'm thinking that if I am diagnosed with PCOS, I would like to do CD3 and 6DPO bloodwork, an HSG, and a SA. Is that unreasonable, you think?
And for the SA, how does that happen.... should DH go to a general doctor, explain, and get a referral? Or should I get a referral/clinic name from my obgyn?
Thanks in advance for any and all information.
