Jumping the Gun?

I decided to do something last week that I have been putting off since September.  One of my students this year has not one but TWO parents that are doctors.  And by doctors, I mean the dad is an OB/GYN and the mom is a Certified Nurse Midwife/Nurse Practitioner.  As their child's teacher I felt that it was completely crossing the line to ask them medical questions, or even to talk to them remotely about anything that was not related to their child's success in my classroom.

When my husband and I first met with our RE, she mentioned the HSG test as a possible "down the line" test and said that it's both painful and expensive and she tries to not to use that as her first line of treatment.  Since I wasn't ovulating on my own, we assumed that was the problem and when she recommended the IUI, we felt that it was our best chance.  However, after my failed IUI, I began researching about whether IUIs or HSG tests should come first.  Of course, I found evidence to back up both points of view.

So, I decided to email the mom and ask if they refer patients to my doctor, or who else she could recommend, extremely hopeful that she would take a personal interest and want to help me.  THANK GOODNESS she did!  She was extremely helpful and sent me emails back and forth all day, and even looked up codes for me to call my insurance with! 

My doctor's office doesn't do the HSG test, but this office does, so I am going tomorrow for a consultation with "the mom".  I'm definitely weirded out by the idea of someone I know examining me, but she also told me in one of her emails that my OB/GYN is no longer delivering babies.  So that would mean that somewhere down the line I would seeing someone new... soooo why not make that new person a familiar person, right?? 

I'm going in for the HSG test Friday with "the dad" (she can't do the test since she's not a doctor) which I am very nervous about (both the procedure and by him performing it!)  There is another female doctor in the office, that the mom actually scheduled my appointment with, but I would have someone who knows me (no matter how weird I find the situation) than someone who doesn't!

I read somewhere that no one cares more about you getting pregnant that you, and since I *only* have 5 more weeks of summer vacation, adding additional doctor's appointments to my schedule is really no big deal (excluding the bills, of course).

I stupidly decided to watch YouTube videos where people shared their experiences with HSG tests and I think I heard the worst possible scenario, so I am just trying to prepare myself for that possibility.  I was also really nervous about being in pain during the IUI, and that turned out to be nothing, so I am hoping the HSG test turns out like that.  And if not, I only have to do it once!
