TTC#1, CD#27, C#15

Well, I am alive and well after my laparoscopic surgery! I was so nervous about all of it and wanted it to be over so badly. Actually, my surgery was on Thursday and on Friday, I was up and about. I am still moving pretty slowly and am still quite sore, but all in all, I feel good.

Here are the results: I had quite a bit of scarring from endometriosis and cysts on BOTH ovaries!!! I couldn't believe it when I woke up and Troy told me what they found. But, my gynecologist felt confident that this was a huge part of the reason we weren't getting PG. Maybe this is another piece of the puzzle we needed to fit! Only time will tell ... .

We have to wait this upcoming out. I need to give myself time to heal inside there. Actually, this is the best thing for us because my new shots were going to start just as school was starting and it wouldn't be good for me to be gone so much. I go back to the gynecologist on Thursday to find out what those cysts consisted of and hopefully get some answers.

I can't help but be excited for us. However, I know that we also have to be realistic! We just want a baby! Why is that so hard?? Many women know nothing about this constant ache that so many of us share.

School is starting here in one week!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!! I feel like I lost an entire week (to my surgery) of time when I could've been planning for school stuff. So, whether I feel like it or not, I have to go hit it hard this week to be ready.

Troy and I spent a wonderful weekend away!!! I have the most incredible husband alive! He had so many surprises for me. Just little gifts the whole time we were there. It was just sooooo nice to get away from all of the craziness of our lives that are totally consumed with TTC!!! He even hand-made me a card that made me just melt and cry, and cry, and cry!!!!! He's the best!

I will stop on that! (I know, GAG!) Best of luck to all this cycle!! Thanks again for all who wrote with positive words before my surgery!

Something good is about to happen to each of us!!! Keep the faith!

XOXOXOXOXOXO~
Amy
