Faith and Fertility: February Fun

February Fun

I had my follow up/post op appt last week and I'd thought I'd share what happened. The doc said I was healing nicely (even though I have a pretty pronounced sharp pain on my hip closest to the incision-bruised? Fibro?) My belly button incision is still a bit tender (holding Skittle makes it worse) and my lower (the biggest) incision hasn't given me any issues at all. The doc said that I could peel of my incision glue that night. Well, I did and GROSS is all I can say. I peeled off the one by my hip first and it left a pretty nasty hole. It creeped out DH so much that he told me that I better not peel off any more-at least for a couple days. I stuck a band-aid over it and it since has scabbed up and doesn't look so scary anymore. I've since removed the other two and everything seems to be OK.

I was given pretty pictures of my insides too. I debated whether or not to post them here but I decided not to since I didn't want you all to freak out from seeing my actual uterus, tubes, and scars. Apparently, my left tube has some "clubbing" (abnormal looking) but shouldn't cause any fertility issues (uh, huh) and didn't need to be removed. They also made some more repairs my uterine septum and I could definitely notice a difference in appearance of my uterus in the before and after pictures. I was told that although this surgery may not aid in my fertility, it should help with AF pain issues. We'll see.

A bright spot was that I asked about being moved up to the April IVF group and while I'm still waiting for a call from the IVF coordinator, it looks like it might actually happen. I know they are in the thick of things with the January IVF cyclers so I'll give them a couple more days before I start calling.

In other news, here are some pictures of my sweet girl doing some February crafts and at her v-day party.
