Now I am more concerned!! She did do bloodwork to check everything but didn't really seem to think that the fluid in uterus was needing immediate attention. Now I don't know what to do. I am supposed to call next cycle and get cd 3 bloodwork as well. Is there something else I should do? They said bloodwork wont be back for about 2 weeks.Quote:

Had more brown spotting yesterday. What the heck!
I don't know thst she can do anything for the fluid in the uterus without knowing the cause. Checking for STDs/infection will hopefully help determine that or at least rule things out.
I don't think the HSG caused an infection. It makes much more sense that an infection caused the blocked tube and uterine fluid.
Tons of things can cause spotting. It could be related to your cervix being soft & irritable before/during O. If you do have an infection, it could be caused by that. Or it could be leftover blood from AF that took a while to work its way out.
I'm glad to hear you had O mostly confirmed, and I hope she's wrong and you conceive despite the fluid.
I think your dr is doing everything she can. I do disagree with her BF opinions/comments, but otherwise she seems to be addressing every issue as necessary. I am not a dr but I would be happy with her plan of action.
It is just strange that when I had the HSG my uterus looked fine. I swear it seems like every since I took that clomid it totally messed things up. And I don't really think I ovulated as my temps are down today. I texted my OB and she said she was going to call me later that I may need a hyteroscopy. So I will feel a little more at ease after I speak with her. I guess the spotting is throwing me off and the fluid and the unconfirmed ovulation.
THat is the type of follow up I am referring to. I didn't know if she had done the bloodwork or not.Quote:

The important thing above all else is that they do the bloodwork. That is what needed to happen. All too often docs will not do bloodwork and have you come back in 6 weeks or something like that (but when you call for appointment they have none available and you end up waiting another 6 weeks on top of that), then do bloodwork, then you wait another three weeks for your labs to come back, and another appointment for the doctor to tell you what it all means. When I said it needed to be looked into immediately, I meant immediately in "medical time" which is only slightly faster than the rate at which glaciers move.
If you can get the hysteroscopy, that is the next thing to do. ((((hugs))))) and no googling!
Since you're temping, keep an eye out for any sign of fever in case this is some infection from the HSG.
Ok well The RE definitely did do bloodwork but of course I am over here thinking and thinking and the brown spotting is why I texted my original OB since she knows my history. So I will see what she says. Thanks all for calming me a bit! :) I will continue to temp also.
