Post Op Appointment

Just got back a little while ago from my post op appt. Dr. explained to me the pictures that we were given from surgery, and can I just say no WONDER why we would have never gotten pg on our own! She showed me how bad my tubes were, and what a normal one looks like. My tubes didn't even look like tubes that is how swollen and blocked they were! Basically she said the end of the tube should be like a flower almost open and clear..then ends of mine looked like the end of a sausage...round at the ends with no opening (sorry if that is too much for some of you). So anyway, she said we should be just fine for an IVF in July! I am so excited I was dreading thinking we would have to wait until September with having to the overview class, consents, and nursning class for injectables. We go June 13th for the Class and then the 15th for the rest, and a few days after I should get AF, and I start BCP, LUPRON, & then STIMS, and then we should be able to do the Egg Retreival, and Egg Transfer in July...so excited..I could be pregnant a month and a half from now!!! Sorry just had to share in our good news today..thanks for reading!!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to take a quick few minutes and let everyone know I am home and doing ok. For those of you that cared so much to call, and send cards, and even send an email thank you so much, it mean alot to Bob andI!!!! I owe the biggest thanks to my Husband who was an absolute life saver, and took such good care of me! He loves his wife, and he shows it in whatever he does!!!

Surgery was a sucess, both tubes were completely removed, but recovery was not fun. They admitted me after surgery, and as of Friday they were unsure if I would stay or go home, but after being given a pain medicine that actually worked, and helped me sleep our Dr. allowed us to go home on Friday late afternoon. Thanks to Ally and Sean for coming to visit me, and help us out! Saturday was another bad day the nausea patch I was given fell off in the shower, and I was really sick to my stomach. Poor Bob had to drive to Latham NY to fill a script to help settle my stomach, this is exactly why all hospitals should be required to fill emergecny scripts with Dr. phone call approval only! It was so frusterating for us both more than anything I felt bad for Bob that he had to drive 3 hrs round trip for a medicine that the hospital should have been easily able to fill with no problem....but nope it would have required us to go the ER sit for 4 hours in pain in their waiting room just to sit in the ER for another 4...it's crazy if you ask me. Yesturday felt ok, today feeling any better. Obviously I can't go doing strenous things, or heavy lifting until after our Post Op Appt, but I am planning on trying to go back to work tommorrow.
After this we will be attending an IVF Oveview class at Baystate, we'll meet with the Dr. to sign consent forms, and then hopefully we'll do IVF in July, if not then we have to wait until September as the center doesn't do IVF's in August. I'll write more when I can right now I am gonna take a cat nap, and thanks again to those of you who called, and sent me myspace messages, and cards! Really shows who is caring enough to send thoughts, prayers, and get well wishes!
