U/S Results & A Decision...

Last Wednesday was my u/s. Of course as luck would have it AF arrived the night before. Thankfully it wasn't too bad so I decided to go ahead with the u/s (I called ahead and they said a-okay to do it). The u/s itself wasn't fun. Lets be honest, when is it ever? The tech was very nice and pointing things out to me and you know made sure to really push on that full bladder. The u/s itself only took about 30 minutes and then I was out.

Waiting for the results has been murder. I thought I saw something on my u/s, but I'm not the specialist and not 100% sure what I'm looking at so waiting has sucked. This morning the office finally called me with my results. Mostly unremarkable, but a small uterine fibroid is present. I was told it's nothing to be too worried about and my subsequent research pretty much said the same.

The results did spark a conversation between T and I. We're going to try for a baby. I'm not going back to charting right away, but we're giving it a whirl. Fingers crossed!

Do Not Pass Go...

I had my appointment with Dr. Awesome. The appointment itself, not so awesome. I brought up maybe trying another medication with Dr. Awesome and though he had a very articulate and responsible response, I didn’t like it. His answer was no. He admitted he doesn’t have the resources necessary to properly administer the medication and he is reluctant to do it without knowing what all our problems are. We know I have an issue with progesterone, that’s a given, he is just not sure what else are the obstacles. He also said he doesn’t have the ability to do all the specific more in depth testing that we should have done. He understands our plight, RE’s are expensive, but he’s not willing to put me at risk to try to save us a couple bucks. I didn’t like it, but his response just proved how awesome he really is.

And of course since I have the worst reproductive luck, I’ve also developed another issue (not infertility related, at least I don’t think yet) and now I have to have an u/s done to make sure I don’t have any polyps in my uterus. Dr. Awesome doesn’t think I have any, he said I’m young and healthy, but wants to make sure he rules out as many possibilities as he can. We’re also awaiting my pap results to find out if my cervical dysplasia is back. He said my current issue might be an indicator that it’s back, but it could also be completely unrelated.

I have to admit the timing on all this sucks. We’re in the final stretch before our trip and now instead of being all excited and happy, I’m anxious and depressed. I might not get my pap results back until the 13th and my u/s is scheduled for the 19th. Both those results will greatly impact how we proceed with starting a family. I am just bracing myself for more bad news really. I’m wondering if I should up the drinking budget for this trip…
