This is my first entry so lets see how this goes. I was sitting watch a Civil documentary today with my summer Upward Bound students and it actually made me want to start a blog. Why? Well because most of the information we have from our history is written accounts from regular people. Journals, diaries, and letters, that have opened the past up. So I want to stake my claim in history and write down my accounts of my life. This may not be as interesting as the Civil War, but it sure is getting more interesting by the moment and maybe my accounts will open eyes or hearts or who knows...
I also want to do this as a way to write an account of our journey from two to three or four or... well you get the picture. This process of trying to conceive (ttc) has been eye opening to say the least. I will venture into some background and get into more detail a little later...My husband (DH) and I got married September 6, 2008. We had been ttc since that July 2008 just kind of taking our chance and seeing what happened. By October 2008 since 3 cycles and no luck I decided to seek out some knowledge and commiseration. I found TheBump and fell way hard into TTC. I began charting basal body temperature and other fertility signs. 6 cycles go by and I have my annual gyn appointment. I had to switch doctors due to my old doctor leaving or losing her practice. I am not sure which one and I am not sure I want to know. One of my girlfriends recommended a gyn that was aggressive and had been very helpful for her so I decided to go with that dr.
My annual turned into one of the most stressful appointments I have even had. I was so overwhelmed when I left the appointment. So many questions that I didn't even know which ones to ask. My gyn had found by internal ultrasound 3 masses in my uterus and one either on or in my right ovary. He was also concerned with my severe cramps and our inability to conceive. So he scheduled a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, cytoscopy, and D&C. These procedures were to diagnose endometriosis and fibroid tumors. The surgery was scheduled for June 9, 2008.
The thunder and lightning is shutting me down for the nite...catcha later
