Everything went well...

Surgery went well. K was so brave as always. There were 3 small polyps removed. The surgeon said she should be good to get pregnant soon. Which was wonderful to hear since we don't have much time or money left. So, from his lips to God's ears....

Now just waiting for her cycle to start again so we can start the process all over again.

Hope all is well out in blogland!

Surgery Tomorrow

Surgery is tomorrow. It was supposed to be on the 31st but our surgeon will be out of town so it has been moved up. K is very nervous and if it is anything like the procedure I had when my tubes were opened she will be very uncomfortable. I know they will be giving her some drugs to calm her nerves. I just hope they are on the stronger side to help her get through.

When it is all over she shouldn't be in much pain at all. She should be back to normal the next day and we're told it is a very minor procedure, but K is nervous anyway.

We've been taking this break to just relax and not think much about TTC. I haven't been checking in with all of you like I should either. Sorry about that. I'm sure I have missed alot and I'm hoping there are some BFP's out there since I'm been out of touch.

I will let you all know Monday how K is and how everything went. Have a great weekend!

Sugery Update

We saw the surgeon Wednesday and surgery won't be until the end of July. Could have been next week if our surgeon wasn't on vacation and then we would have to skip another cycle but that's the way it is.

Non TTC news.... K & I have been dieting. We're both down 6 pounds. It has been so hard to eat healthy. Enjoying an evening out for a yummy dinner and drinks has always been a way to reconnect and talk out the stress we're going through and we don't have that. But we're looking at the bigger picture and we want to get her body ready for TTC again.

That's about it for us. Hope everyone is well.

Polyp.....

K had the saline sonogram yesterday. There is a small polyp. They think that it was probably there 4 months ago when she had the HSG but it was probably so small that it wasn't detected. We were also told that the fertility drugs that she was on can promote growth of the polyp and that even though the polyp is very small it is in a bad spot fertility speaking so it's best to get them removed and then try again.

We have our consultation with the surgeon next Wednesday. (She's going to the same surgeon who did my surgery) I'm sure we won't be able to get the surgery done this cycle which means we're on a break for this cycle and next.

This brings us down to only 3 tries left and then we'll be done for a while. Those 3 tries will be full of the drugs, ultra sounds and 2 insems per cycle. I want no regrets or to feel like I could have done more. Whatever happens at the end of this we'll be ok. We won't be done we'll just be a break.

We took control...

First, I would like to apologize for my mini breakdown the other day. I know the comments came from a good place and I see how what was said was just taken wrong. So, please know that all of you mean so much to me and some of you described it best when you said that I am just really overwhelmed. I believe I am strong. I believe that through everything I stay positive and the other day I guess I just didn't handle things exactly the way I would have if I wasn't so down.

So, with that said ladies please know that I really do appreciate you all and I really appreciate all of comments and advise to my breakdown.

Here is what is going on with us. K and I went in for her Day 3 u/s this morning, which looked good by the way. When we sat down with the nurse to discuss the plan for this cycle she started with how we will start with the Bravelle injections and we'd be upping that dose. We said NO to that one. Our plan for this cycle is this. We want to start with Clomid. While on clomid we'd have the Saline Sonogram that our RE wants K to have. If there is an actual polyp and this cycle has to be cancelled then all we're out is less then $100 of clomid not $1,000 of Bravelle. If everything is good then we will start the Bravelle injections and they will be daily instead of every other day. When we told the nurse our plan she actually looked at us and said...."I think that plan sounds great". She will have a follicle check Monday morning and she is on the "On-Call List" for the Saline Sonogram. Our RE is doing all IVF procedures next week so procedures like ours has to be scheduled between those. We won't know what time our thing will be until the day before.

As I mentioned before we have limited insurance coverage left. If we are correct her insurance will end the end of October. We probably have enough "baby money" for November. If nothing is wrong that will give her 5 more tries. 3 if something is wrong. So, we've also decided that we're going to be more aggressive and some of the cycles we will do 2 insems per cycle. I know there is no real evidence to support that it increases the chances all that much, and if we had more time I would save the sperm money, but we are limited so why not go all out while we can??? Right?

I am feeling better today. I'm the luckiest girl in the whole world to have K in my life. We work so well together when it comes to these difficult times and we really do understand each other.

That's the update. Looks like the plans are in place. We know what were going to do no matter what the test says and we're moving forward.
