Hey girls! I actually went to the doctor yesterday. I got some good news and some bad news.

First the good news: I seem to be healing fine at
this point. He gave us the okay to BD (just for fun, not TTC) again. We did on Saturday! Oops!
I thought he said after 4 weeks we could. I guess I was supposed to wait to be
checked out.

Now the bad news. There's two bits of bad news. Number one: he and my high
risk doctor discussed it, and they are pretty sure that I will have to have
c-sections in the future. *cry* I guess the fibroid was really deep in my
uterine wall, and when they pulled the last bit out it almost went through the
uterine wall. In labor, it could rupture because it's so thin there. And he
said that would be totally bad news. They would probably have to do a
hysterectomy on the spot. Ummmmm... no thanks!!! I guess it's not that bad of
news, but I do so completely crappy with surgery/anesthesia/recovery. We don't know
why- maybe it's because of the lupus. A c-section was number
one on my list of fears about giving birth. But like my mom said, I will have
lots of help.

Bad news number two: I have to wait 2 more months to have another one of those tests
with the saline shot up my uterus. We can't
TTC until after that shows everything is fine. He's pretty worried about that
spot and how thin my lining is there now. Such a bummer. The only
good thing about this is that it would put me giving birth during the next
school year. At least I will be able to take a good amount of time off without
losing my job (remainder of that year plus maybe the next). The test is December 11, so
if all is clear at that appt, we can start trying again then.

Anyway, thanks for asking. I was tired of only posting bad things, so I hadn't done an update.

you should update us, good or bad news girl!!! i'm sorry you have to wait till dec but if you keep busy the time will go quite quickly. there's lots going on in Nov and Dec. I know when I had to wait, I just started organizing my whole house when i had free time. i got two bonuses, an organized house and time flying! good luck to you hun, and KUP!!!

First off, I'm glad that everything is healing well from your surgery. That is great news!

I'm sorry that you have to wait longer than you anticipated to start ttc again. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for you. Hopefully after your appointment in December you'll get the green light to TTC again and get that BFP on the first shot! And like you said, it would work out great with the timing, so that's a positive!

As frustrating as it is to know that you'll have to have a c-section when you deliver, it's good that they know what to expect. Imagine the Dr's not being concerned about it now, and finding out during delivery and having something go terribly wrong. We wouldn't want anything to happen to you!

I hope that the time will fly by for you over the next few weeks. Maybe you could reward yourself with something after each week passes! A massage, facial, new outfits! Anything that will make you smile! If you want or need to talk, please know that I'm here for you!!! PM me anytime!

Thanks for the update and don't be too much of a stranger around here!!! We like you and like to keep tabs on you whether they are good or bad... that's what we're here for!!!

Thanks for the update-- I wish it could all be good news! With the holidays and everything incoming, I think this time will probably fly a little faster than other times in the year. It'll be December before we know it! And I hope they give you the all clear at that time!! I miss you around here...

I'm sorry you got some bad news Lauren.. I completely ditto everything Cris said. December will be here before you know it sweetie.

[SavaAngel]

Ditto - update no matter what the news is.

I hope the time fly's for you and you get good results at your next test in December.

I agree with Lynda.. you should feel free to post good or bad. I am only newish, but find all of these ladies an invaluable resource to keep me sane. I love being able to give some support back. I wish you luck for December. Holiday BD'ing.....is there a better kind? I look forward to chatting with you soon.

Thanks for the update (I read more than I post here, but I had been thinking of you)

Glad that you are healing well. Its a bummer to have to wait a bit longer, but hopefully the end result will be a wonderful bouncing baby!
