Upcoming tests, misdiagnosis

After I miscarried, my last dr. said everything is in working order, see you in a year. I found a new dr. She seems to think that I don't have PCOS. She thinks that at this point she would like to treat me as suffering from "unexplained infertility". She is going to conduct a whole new set of invasive tests. She has already done a cervical mucus test (uncomfortable scraping which caused some mild cramping). I have to schedule a hysterosilpingogram (hst)- a dye test to see if my tubes are blocked, an endomitrial biopsy, and something else that at this time I can't remember. Has anyone experienced these tests? What should I expect? I'm unsure, which equates to scared, which leads to tears...

hi, first of all dont worry, all the tests are over and done quickly. YOu wil have bloods done to test differing hormones etc, and the HSG test is just like nasty period pain for about 20 seconds. I think its always scary before you do them, but they should all be done only once, and then that should be it for your diagnosis. Good luck anyway and let us know how you get on xx

I have had the Hysterosilpingogram done. They did attempted 3 seperate time while I was there to get the dye injected, but my DR said that my cervix was too tight to do it. So it was unsucessful for me.

Has your doctor take blood for Prolactin Level? You might ask if that is on the todo list.

Had the HSg donea couple of months ago. For me it was very painful but that type ofpain lastet only 15 minutes while the procedure was done.
After that I start feeling my ovaries which I never did before. Littkle bit of pain every now and then for a whole month. now I'm back to not feeling anything. By the way my HSG came out well my tubes are in good conditions..

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
