I figured it was time to update everyone on what's been going on. I apologize for the late notice, but there has been waaayyyy to much emotional crap happening in my life lately. I keep waiting for it to slow down, but it feels like a loosing battle.
Tomorrow I go in for surgery at Moore County Regional Hospital here in North Carolina. The last time I went in for a mid cycle ultrasound (about 5 weeks ago) the doctor found a 2cm+/- fibroid on the outside of my uterus blocking my right tube. There were also some "questionable" areas showing up on the monitor. With this new information we decided surgery was the route to go and decided to forgo fertility meds until after the procedure. Since I need to have the fibroid removed we decided to do a bunch of things all at one. My surgery tomorrow is going to consist of:
Laparoscopic Myomectomy with robotic assist
Hysterosalpingogram
Hysteroscopy
Lysis of Adhesion
Basically, they are going to remove the fibroid, make sure my tubes are clear, and clean out my uterus like a pumpkin. It should be an interesting day! I'll be sure to update this week after surgery to let everyone know how it went. Wish me luck!!!
I want you to know that I have gone through each of those surgeries and more. It was very hard for Micheal and I to have a baby, but they found the right combination of hormones, drugs, timing, and surgery. I pray that the doctors have the current technologies and knowledge along with the knowledge to make you the most comfortable. Just remember to take it easy after these proceedures. Soon there may be a new neice or nephew around. You can always call and bend my ear. It sounds like you are more like me than mom when it comes to this. Good luck, be praying for you both. Wishing you all the best.
