The Last 15 Days

  • Hcg came down to 30, then again to 6.75...we are considered negative! Finally. Only took two months.
  • Pre-Op for 10/27 cervical dilation and hysteroscopy went well. Discussed MTHFR mutation. Dr. W explained it's commonly found in Jewish people. Suggested I just take two Folgard pills to up my B vitamins. Phew. I felt much better after the talk. Spoke about the surgery and what the steps are. Ugh...but I know it will benefit us in so many ways.
  • Started taking bcp again. Yay!
  • Had surgery on 10/27. Everything went well. Good News: we are in the clear. No objustructions, shape is great, all normal. Beautiful news! In a fog, being wheeled out of surgery, I remember asking the nurse if Dr.W found anything. She said she didn't know and would have him speak to me. When he spoke with me and Rob after surgery, all smiles were on our faces. My cervix is still a bear. It tilts up, down and to my left shoulder. Dr. W said he now has a "road map" to my uterus, through my cervix, for the next transfer. I have a feeling it's not going to be as easy as it should be but much less difficult than the last transfer. Before Rob and I hit the pillow, I looked at him and said, "This is a big day. We can finally move on." Feels really good.
  • Recooperation: I relaxed. Watched TV. Was taken very well care of by my hubby and mom. Dad and Cindy brought over dinner after surgery. It was nice. I had some cramping and some bleeding for about six days. Not bad.
  • Next Up: Finish my bcp (which is Saturday), wait for menses to begin and then we can start prepping my body for the next transfer. Most likely early December. Here's to year 32...this is the year, I can feel it.
