Bloodwork and such

The results are in...I am broken, but it's fixable! Basically, Dr. Parker found that my estrogen is low, as is my progesterone. I was so relieved that he found something wrong, however when I explained that I had been stressed all week that he wouldn't find anything wrong, he told me not to worry because I "am a walking pathology report." Doctor humor for, "you're pretty screwed up!"

So, he has me taking something that starts with a "N", but I can't read the rest of the script: doctors writing. It is supposed to block out something that does something to fix something else. I really don't remember exactly what he said about this particular one, as it was a last minute one he threw in, but he thought it was a good idea. From what I gathered, it will make me feel euphoric, so bring it on!

He also has me taking Clomid (yuck!) on cd 3-5, however it's too late to start this month. And, I'll just remain hopeful that I won't need it next month, as I HATE that med! I am also taking an HCG shot on 3,5,7 and 9dpo. It will trick my body into thinking it's pregnant and make it produce progesterone and estrogen. Quite frankly, I don't care how we tell my body it's pregnant, if it includes trickery and it's a sticky pregnancy, I'll take it.

Speaking of sticky pregnancy, he is pretty sure I was pregnant last month, according to my numbers, however, I was way too messed up to keep it. Oddly enough, I was actually excited that I can get pregnant on my own and I'm not too upset about "almost" being pregnant. I really was scared to death to get pregnant last month anyway, as I knew there were things wrong that wouldn't support a pregnancy and I didn't want to worry about it for the next 9 months.

So, today, I took my scripts to the compounding pharmacy and will pick them up on Monday, and by then, I'll be ready for my euphoric feeling! Chad turns 30 this Sunday and he's rather cranky about it. I'll be in need of a happy pill after putting up with that all weekend.

Off to think happy, positive, ttc thoughts...

Surgery Outcome and leaking incision sites

I had my surgery about a month ago now. It was very successful. Dr. Parker was found many things that he wasn't expecting to find, but I'm fairly positive that he was glad that it wasn't as bad as he expected.

He found Stage 1/2 Endo and cut it out. It was on my uterus and left ovary. He also found that my right ovary was stuck to my pelvic floor. So, it was basically, out of commission. It was unstuck during the surgery and should be good to go now! He also did a dnc to remove multiple polyps from my uterine lining, which were preventing implantation. He found that my uterus is classified as bicornate (heart shaped), which may or may not be a problem. Only time will tell. I doubt it will since I've been pregnant twice already.

For the last month, I've been going for blood draws every other day for a hormone panel. I had my estradial, progesterone, DHEAS, thyroid, prolactin, LH and FSH tested. I get the results next Thursday and I'm really excited. I really hope there are fixable problems I can take meds to correct.

As for surgery success, this has been the best and least painful period I've had in a long time! I think if I worked summers, I wouldn't have needed to take the day off work. That to me, is wonderful. My ovulation still hurt, but I'm so used to that, it's not really worth trying to find out what's wrong anymore.

I'll post when I get my blood results. Until then, I'm thinking fertile thoughts!
