I went to a new office today and was able to see the NP (nurse practitioner). They were able to squeeze me in last minute.
Overall, I was very impressed with the office and the NP. The visit wasn't rushed at all and she actually asked me many questions about how I wanted to go about TTC. She was thoughtful of my feelings and preferences. My last doctor was not! She prescribed me 5 days of Provera which I'm so happy about since I've taken Prometrium twice with failed results. She also scheduled for me to come back and have a sonogram on Tuesday. She gave me SA (semen analysis) information to complete if and whenever we wanted to get a SA.
Hopefully, I will start a new cycle and can begin taking Clomid. She offered to assist our Clomid cycle(s) by monitoring by sonogram how many follicles I was producing. She would then give me a HCG trigger shot to induce ovulation. Then on CD20/21 she would check my progesterone levels. We still haven't decided if we'd like this much assistance, but at the very least we'll try the Clomid.
She also ordered b/w (blood work), which I was able to complete in the office! Now we wait for a confirmation of a negative pregnancy test and the results of the b/w.
I was so thrilled to finally find a good office in town (well, about 30 miles away!) where all b/w and ultrasounds are done in office! Now I hope I love the OB as much as the office and the NP!

Sounds like you found a good doctor, I hope the Provera works for you and that you can move onto the Clomid cycle. I had the full monitoring on Clomid and I do suggest it- you can get good info on how many follies (and possible overstimulation) and then thining of the lining, which can prevent implantation on the current or future cycles.
