running in circles

Since it's been over a month since my last update, I figure it's about time.  
Brace yourself!

We received my results of the MRI. 

Before I tell you what they were, let's rewind back to the HSG results. My INFERTILITY SPECIALIST (who is suppose to be the top guy in the state mind you,) told me I have a heart shaped uterus. Then he was concerned it was a septated uterus and even talked about possible reconstructive surgery. 

So the verdict is..... Neither.

I have an arched uterus which is very common and fairly insignificant.

What does this mean?

I stressed over NOTHING for an entire month, and we still have very little to go on.

Not only that, he told me that I had reached my "lifetime limit" for taking clomid. Meaning, i would have to take Femara which is similar to clomid, but it's a cancer drug and there isn't much studies or research done on it for that purpose. 
No thanks. 
He also wanted me to begin IUI or even IVF.(Not to mention the nightmare we've had with the billing department. ugh)


So what now?


We switched back to an OB/GYN who looked over my entire history and confirmed my thoughts:

 *I can take clomid again since I've had a long break from it. As long as I am closely monitored it will be safe and hopefully get me ovulating.
*The first 8 months I was on clomid were pointless since the Dr. wasn't even checking to see if the dose was making me ovulate.
*you can't trust every Dr. to have your best interest in mind.

My new OB/GYN is very confident that we can be pregnant in the next 3 months. She has our entire month planned out for us day by day. The Mister even has a "no touchy zone" lol! *he didn't find it very funny...  

For the first time throughout this process, I feel comfortable with our plan and I don't feel stressed out. 

So that is where we are at! 

Happy hump day everyone!
