I Survived!

Today was my hysterscopy. I was surprisingly ok with it. First, I was just glad AF cooperated and I could have it today. Second, I didn't let myself think about my only two other surgeries in my life (my D&Es this year). That helped quite a bit. I only got a little upset when they put in the IV...and then I was fine.

I'm home and am not taking the prescription narcotics that were prescribed. I just don't need them. I'm taking Al.eve and I'm feeling ok. Not good, but ok.

How did things go? Well, my RE scheduled today to remove either what she thought was a polyp or a fibroid that she was on the u/s. The hysterscopy is diagnostic though too, so when she went in, she saw something else.

Turns out, I didn't have a fibroid or a polyp. What I did have was a "ton" of scar tissue. I guess she showed Mr SC before and after pics too. She seemed very pleased with what she did and explained to Mr SC that there was "no way anything could properly implant" with scar tissue like that. My head now is swimming, of course. I figure that it stemmed from my 1st D&E in May for several reasons. I had thought though, at least from this most recent loss, that it implanted on the "other side" of my uterus. I remember when the tech saw my scar tissue (what she thought was a fibroid) that she said oh, it's not close to the bean, so it's fine. I know the scar tissue impacts blood flow, but, well...who knows. I'll ask those questions at my follow-up. She also told Mr SC that next cycle we'd be all set to go, that we would talk about my b/w at the follow-up and that she wants me on Love.nox injections for the entire next pregnancy.

Mr SC was worried. It was supposed to be around 45 minutes and turned into an hour and a half. I felt so bad for him.

Well, that's that. Thanks for all the well wishes and support. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. And, speaking of injections, it's time for round #2.
