Well, if you're ovulating you could get pregnant, but if you're not menstruating at all, chances are you may not be ovulating. You could try tracking your body signs and basal body temperature, or using ovulationg predictor kits yourself to find out if you're ovulating, but all those are pretty time consuming and OPKs can get expensive, especially if you have no idea when to test. I would recommend finding yourself a new doctor; some OB/GYNs can do the preliminary testing themselves rather than seeing a specialist right away.
Sorry you've been through so much frustration already!! (((Hugs))) and Good luck!View Thread

Somehow my insurance covered 100% of all the testing I've had done, but I'm not sure they would have covered it had I been seeing an RE. I've done a little pricing, and it seems like every specialist has their own set of fees, so how much you end up paying really depends on the doctor.
(((Hugs))) I'm so sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy, that is so hard. Mfregoso is right, they are unfortunately pretty common. Usually doctors don't feel concerned enough to do additional testing unless you've had multiple miscarriages, not sure how that works out with chemical miscarriages or if it's the same protocol.
Anyway, welcome, I'm sure you will find lots of support here. (((Hugs)))View Thread

I've never heard of Met can causing false positives, but give your doctor a call to make sure.
Good luck this C!View Thread


If you've had all the bloodwork and pelvic ultrasound you've pretty much done it all. Clomid is a good next step. The last thing is laparoscopy if there is reason to suspect endometriosis. Some RE's can do a few more, very specific tests as well.
Good luck, I hope you both passed your tests with flying colors

Just kidding 
Okay here's mine: When I was in 3rd or 4th grade I went to Catholic school and every morning we'd stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance in addition to a prayer. Well, the boy I was standing behind used to tease me, so during the Lord's Prayer I went to kick him, and as I did I accidentally (and very loudly) let out some gas! And of course, everyone knew it was me.
Let that be a lesson to us all - no kicking during prayer time. Maybe save it for the Pledge of Allegience when God's not paying such close attention

I personally am a fan of the graduates list and WOW, so I'd be all for bringing those back.View Thread
Anyway, I'm not sure when I'll be jumping back on the TTC wagon again, but wanted to let you all know why I'm lurking around here. I hope everyone is doing well. Hugs and baby dust to you all
