Awesome Update

Today was my two-week post surgery follow-up, and I have to say, it went great! Dr. D was so pleased with how well I have been healing. He commented on how well I looked, especially since I had surgery only two weeks ago. I guess he expected me to come in looking like I had been hit by a bus, but instead I was happy and excited to see him.

He told me again that I only have to wait two cycles, and then we'll do the sonohystogram to ensure that everything is healing the way it should, then we will be back at baby making. I asked if the cycle I am currently on counts toward the two, and he said YES! I about got up off the table and hugged him! That means we will be back to trying for #2 in AUGUST!!!

I'm not exited. Not at all. :p Just in case you couldn't tell, I'm bouncing off the dang walls!

I did ask what he meant by things being more complicated in the surgery, and he said that the weak spot was about 2-3 times as big as he thought it would be width-wise. He said it was along the whole top of the uterus, but it sounds like that worked in our favor because he was able to find and stitch all three layers of the uterus, which he feels will make it stronger. He said he feels really good about how surgery went, and really good about our chances of carrying a full term pregnancy!

After I got home, I ripped off the steri-tape. That was WEIRD. One, because I can't feel anything about an inch and a half above the incision site still, and two, because the incision looks so weird. It doesn't look real. Almost like I have a scratch and not a major cut across my abdomen. Its just weird.

In other good news, I have an appointment with a high risk OB next week. See, Chelle doesn't waste time! Next Tuesday I am going to go in and map out our pregnancy battle plan, and see if he agrees with Dr. D about trying as soon as august. I can't wait!

To make my excitement even bigger everyone around me is pregnant. EVERYONE. I feel left behind, and it kind of makes me want to punch my dysfunctional uterus, but as long as I am back in the saddle by August, I think I can hold out. I just want to be on the bandwagon! Three of my best friends are pregnant, one of their sisters is pregnant, my husband's best friend's wife is pregnant, and one of my other best friends is going to be pregnant in July (she's going to Turkey for IVF). I want in on the excitement yo!

Today my husband and I laughed at the thought that my uterus has had more work done on it than my 8-year-old car, and that all of the work it has had done, cost more than all the work done on my car. We laughed and said we wished we could trade it in for the newer model. Not just the newer model, but the highly fertile model. The one where all he has to do is look at me funny and I get pregnant. If only, eh?

Wanted: One highly fertile pristine uterus.
