[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks all. I have endo and OB said he'd use that code on it so hopefully it should be covered but I will call insurance. Anyone need a ride home afterward? Receptionist at OB's office said they may tell me that at the radiology department but I am planning to just go myself and drive myself home. Any reason why I shouldn't?

To the PP who wrote about seeing an RE - thanks for the tip. I wondered about this. OB said he plans to do HSG, an ultrasound and blood work to confirm ovulation (on appropriate days in my cycle), and blood work to look at hormone levels and ovarian reserve. Is there anything else I'd be getting from an RE at this point? I am not opposed to seeing an RE, but if I can get the initial testing done with my OB - who I already have a relationship with - plus maybe get it covered by insurance (since it's an OB visit not a fertility visit), it seems like I should stick with him at least until we're through this phase of testing. But perhaps that's naïve?[/quote]

PP who mentioned the RE.  I also have endo and have dealt with endo-related IF twice.  First time I saw an endometriosis specialist who did an HSG and ultimately a laparscopy - I got pregnant pretty quickly thereafter.  Second time, I ended up seeing an RE because there was nothing my specialist could "see" that was causing problems (first time both my tubes were blocked and I had a lot of scar tissue).  I had a successful IUI.

If you are having trouble and the HSG shows your tubes are open, I HIGHLY recommend seeing an acupuncturist (insurance covered mine) - endo can really screw up your lining and acupuncture can clear things out and give your body a reset.  I completely credit acupuncture for my IUI success.[/quote]
