Surgery Update...

Okay, so it has been over a month since I last posted. On April 1st, I had a diagnostic laproscopy surgery because my OB/GYN and I wanted to know "what we were working with." He said by the end of the surgery we would our results and know which path to take whether it would be to start ovary stimulation medication or IVF. He decided to use the DaVinci robot during the surgery because he said that it would provide less pain, faster recovery time, and it would be more precise which would help maximize my chances.

On Wednesday, I was really anxious because I was definitely hoping for the best but as many of you know...the other outcome is always there in the back of your mind. The surgery itself wasn't too bad although I wasn't expecting to have as much pain as I do. When I got out of surgery, my OB/GYN said that I had some scar tissue which he removed, a cyst or two in my uterus, and a small cyst on my ovary. He said that everything looked great!!! I was SO relieved. He said the next step was that in 4-6 weeks we would start Clomid and FSH injections. He said "don't be surprised if you end up pregnant with twins!!!" LOL Of course, I am ready for anything. I am hoping this process doesn't take months or even years because my DH and I are ready for a healthy baby. However, I will be patient because I know when it is our time...it will happen.

Everything is going well. Still a little sore (yes, even after a week and a half.) However, I am ready for the next 3-5 weeks to fly by so we can start Clomid and the FSH injections. I am ready to get this process started! :) Hope everyone is doing well! ((HUGS))
