Preparations

Well...I'm prepared. As prepared as I'll apparantly ever be at this point.

√ - CBE Monitor
√ - CBE Monitor Test Sticks
√ - PreSeed
½ - 2 months TTA
№ - Mr. W in town during December fertile days
№ - HSG

This is as good as it gets, though. My OB/Gyn's office called back. Although my doc thought an HSG would be a good idea a few months ago, now she's changed her mind. I guess just getting a BFP ruled out the necessity. The fact that it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy doesn't change this lack of necessity? Whatever.

As far as Mr. W being in town when I need him in December...there's nothing I can do. He is government property regardless of what I say or do. My only option is to get over it. (Even though I had to laugh and Nancy's faux idea! Mr. W had just finished joking about just that! Ha!)

I was actually being optimistic before I spoke with my doctor's office. I figured it wouldn't hurt me to wait one more month. I am going to use that time to relax and verify that my CBE monitor is working (because there's no way my body wouldn't work, right). Now I'm a little thrown, though. I really don't like the thought of going into this without the definite knowledge there there's no blockage (partial or otherwise) in my tubes. Grr...one more thing to get over.

I'm really in a better mood that I sound. After all, it's Halloween! And I've got devil horns and heavy makeup on! And all the candy I can eat! Hooray!

You've had an empirical test of your tubes...sadly. The HSG probably won't add much info for you.

Statistically once you've had an ectopic, you're at about a 10% risk of another.

Here's hoping that you're in the 90% :)

Can you get DH to give a sample, freeze it, and then get inseminated on your O days? Not so romantic, I know, but just a thought! If not, you're young enough that 1 month is not going to set you back, so maybe enjoy the break. I love the CBEFM by the way. It worked perfectly, although I have never gotten pregnant without help! I should have just sent you mine.
