..It's been awhile..

It's been awhile since my last post. Sorry for being gone so long. Things have been pretty hectic for us lately. We recently just bought a house and it took up most of nights for the past three weeks. But it was so worth it! In my last post I talked about the after effects from my cryo surgery. A lot has happened since then. 


That Friday after my cryo I started bleeding. It was very heavy and it did not stop until the following Friday. It was very annoying since I can't wear tampons anymore. I've worn more pads these past few months that I ever have. 5-6 days of pads is not bad, but 2 weeks+ really irritates the inside of my thighs. Really sucks. These 7 days of wearing pads irritated the heck out of my skin and thankfully it soon stopped. That Monday when I got into bed, my lower back and kidneys started hurting. Wasn't sure what it was from and then I started to get those sharp shooting pains in my ovary area like I always do when I have an endo flare up. They didn't go away so I took some prescription motrin and it seemed to help. The pains were consistent and I woke up with them. I made an appointment with my OBGYN for that Thursday to get checked out. She did an internal exam, said my cervix looked great from my cryo but that she didn't feel any cysts. This didn't mean that they weren't there. She gave me an order to go get a sonogram to get things checked out. Up until my appointment I still was having the same pains.  My sonogram was this past Wednesday and good news is they didn't see any cysts! Whoo Hoo!!!! The Radiologist said the pains could be from either car tissue or adhesion's. My Dr also said that it could be the endo growing back because Lupron isn't perfect. I have my follow up with my OB on the 23rd to discuss what to do if anything. I"m not too worried since there are no cysts. But if the endo is back, I'm not sure what will happen. We have only 15 more days till our appointment with our new RE and we don't want anything to set us back from starting IVF next month. 


I'm feeling better. Still have the pains here and there. But not as bad. I have my last Lupron shot the 23rd and this is one more step closer to our baby. Not sure if I will Lupron this next IVF cycle. My old RE said she wanted to do the micro dose lupron cycle this time so we'll see if my new RE suggests the same. I'm counting down the days. I feel really good about things this time. Still feeling positive and trusting in the Lord and His will for our lives. 


Diet is going ok. I've been having a lot of sweets temptations lately and soda. I gave in for awhile, but have now stopped. It's been hard, but I know it's for the best. I want my body as healthy as possible to welcome our baby this time. Now we have a house to bring our baby home to and everything feels like it's all coming together so perfectly. I couldn't be happier.


I recently just finished a really great book called "Making Babies". It really helped me see the big picture and how important it is to have a healthy body when trying to conceive. It had a lot of great advice and tips that I'm not incorporating into my daily routine. As hard as it was to go through a BFN, it taught me a lot and I know what to expect this go around. I won't be in the dark and wonder an worry what everything means. I'm sure I'll have questions, but I'm so thankful I know how the process works. I have people I can talk to and trust who are going through what I'm going through.


Congratulations to all my DS friends who had their babies this month! I'm so happy for you all!:)


Hope everyone is doing well.


Thanks,


Lauren
