How about diagnostic techniques, like dye testing to make sure your tubes aren’t blocked?

A few more to add to the list:
D&C warnings of what could go wrong – such as Ashermans Syndrome which I now have (I can write about this if you’d like)
Also, I can cover hysteroscpy and HSG. I’m like a pro at this by now. Also, sonohystogram, which is the same thing as a saline ultrasound – ouch.
Topics I’m not well versed in but would like to see: antibody deficiencies, ways to increase uterine lining, Provera and baby aspirin, Chinese herbs. I might think of others.
I’m adding you to my blogroll as well.

I can only comment on an HSG (since I doubt you’ll have chapters for natural miscarriage… damn, I wish I weren’t experienced at that)… but this is a good list.

Thanks for commenting so that I found you; I will add you to my blogroll as well.

I have some....

metformin/avandia
provera
OPK's (for some reason I have always struggles with these and without fail end up on the boards asking questions about them!)
preseed
transvaginal u/s - that first one was definitly a shock!

I'd be happy to write about one of them.

I know you asked for email, but I’m in a rush (the stepson is here this week, continuing his pleading for ME to produce his next little sister- he wants a girl, wants her to share his room even). I am willing and able to supply the requested information in reference to laparoscopic surgery, when done with the intent of diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. I know nothing of cysts (another reason for lap), or anything else, but the endo thing I have down. Sign me up, Mel! I’ll try to get something typed up this week and email it (the child returns to another parenting party tonight, so I will once again have free time not supplied by Spongebob).

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am fairly new to this and will be going back to the RE in the Fall if I’m not pregnant on my own by then. I think giving the low down on the procedures from the people that are actually going through it is a great idea! I can’t wait to read more of your entries

Just found this blog a few days ago when I noticed you’d linked to me (Thanks!). This is a great idea, and while I can’t write a section, I can certainly comment on a few (HSG, giving a sub-q injection, acupuncture, so far). Best of luck with the book and I look forward to reading it.

Which one(s) is Carolyn going to write…that’s the real question

Thanks for the list additions. Want to write any of them?

Please?

(this is Melissa on her hands and knees begging. Come on, Carolyn! Begging.)

Just a couple of things to add to the list:

-endometrial biopsy
-laproscopic surgery
-saline sonogram
-accupuncture (not sure about this one, but I've done it for IF and know quite a few others who've tried it as well)

This is a wonderful idea!
