REI freaked me out...

Sam 👩‍🔬💏 TTC #1 🧬

So my husband and I *just* started trying. This is our first cycle. I am highly irregular due to PCOS, but I chart my bbt and know if/when I do ovulate. I was hoping the RE could help me figure out my hormones so I ovulate more regularly...

But she wants to start me on oral birth control pills so she can control my cycle. Then she wants me to do a HSG to look at my tubes. Then after the HSG/tubogram she wants to stop the hormonal birth control and start ovidrel.

That all seems really overwhelming to me since we haven't even attempted pregnancy naturally yet.

Is this overkill? Or is that a normal approach? Any advice would be super helpful!
