Had my pre-op appts today rather than 02/23 so I got that over with..
Got a script for Vicodin whoo hoo (maybe it is spelled with a T) anyway.. it is at the pharmacy getting filled so I will have it when I am out of surgery...
Had to do a urine specimen and blood work done today, weighed in WHOO HOO lost another pound, urine is to check for pregnancy, blood to check my cbc count (make sure I am not anemic), and that I have no infection. Then off to the doctor's office we go... there I filled out ppwk, signing saying I wouldn't sue if something should happen blah blah blah.. then Dr Blackwell explained in detail what she will be doing and why.. she will make one incision just under my belly button and possibly up to 3 more incisions if needed to get a good view of everything.. she said that she would remove any polyps or fibroids and just check to make sure everything is ok. She will also do a hysteroscopy which is dilating my cervix, not sure what that is for but I am sure she said, I just missed it.. you know INFO OVERLOAD!!!
So I am all set.. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am no eating anything or drinking anything after midnight the night before (not even gum.. what am I gonna do, I'll go through withdrawls), leave all my jewelry and insurance cards at home, none of that will be needed, wear comfy stretchy waist pants because I will be bloated and have abdominal pain, and I think that is about it.. she said that I should be pretty much back to normal by Friday but could still have a little bleeding almost like a period but not as heavy.. JOY a mid cycle period.. nothing greater than that right? Dr Blackwell said her office will call me the next day to advise on what they found and then on 03/10 I go for my post op appt to discuss our next steps and procedures to get preggo FAST!
So there you have it.. I will try to update after I get the call from the docs office but no promises.. it may be a week or so before I get back to this..
Take care and I will blog soon
KT is OUT-T

Another set back and plan!
Well we again were not sucessful at getting pregnant this cycle. AF came on Friday the 13th how fun is that.. so fitting for that beotch...
So I got a call from the fertility doctor's nurse the other day stating that she found Endometrial Calcification on my ovaries and I needed surgery to get rid of it. She also went on to say that it is probably the reason we lost the baby in December. She said that the baby tried to attach to the Endo polyps rather than the uterus, thus causing the miscarry. So on February 25th at 9:00am I will go in for surgery. I have to have a Hysterscopy and Laperscopy to get it all out and make sure there is nothing else going on in there. So if you haven't figured it out already our next cycle will NOT end with a pregnancy either. I have a pre-op appt set for Monday 02/23 to discuss the procedure and to pay $1046 (this will take care of my deductable for the whole stinking year). Then have the procedure early Wednesday morning, and after the surgery I have to stay in recovery for 2-4 hours to make sure I am ok and the drugs aren't causing any issues and all the gas gets removed.. yeah they put gas in your abdomen to make it easier for the doc to move around and see everything better. Then about 10-11 days post-op I have another appt that Steve will have to attend, 1 to check on my progress from the surgery (make sure I am doing ok), 2 to discuss our next plan of action to get us pregnant quickly. If I had it my way I would just say, "Let's do IVF NOW!!" but I know it is spensy and finger's x'd after they clear all the crap out we can go it on our own.. but you know.. I am really depressed about this whole thing.. We are currently on cycle 18 of TTC baby #2 and I have always wanted 3 children and now that is just about impossible since we don't even have baby #2 yet and if we did get preggo within the next few months after the procedure, I will be 37 by the time we had that baby and I just don't want to have any more babies after age 40 so it just isn't going to work out... ohhhhh wow is me.. I just can't understand why we aren't getting preggo.. it just doesn't make sense, even the fertility nurse said that it didn't make sense that we didn't get it this time.
So there it is ladies and gents.. I have surgery set and boy am I excited.. NOT!
