I had my post op appointment on tuesday and just now get to post about it, since my laptop died and well, typing this all out on an iphone or netbook would be awful!
They started talking about my laparoscopy, and the findings. I was a little out of it the first time they told me immediately post op, so this was nice. Apparently I have a lot of adhesion's on my appendix, but since it is healthy, they left it! And same with the cysts, it would harm the tube to remove them, so they left it. :/ Mild (very.....) endo on my bladder, and again under one of the ovaries, which again, they left. I don't know.... notice a theme? lol Anyways incisions look good (even the one that was infected.... but I pulled the scab off on accident last night and am scared of it being an issue again!)
After that, we started talking about the future. I LOVE my RE. The one in training is so amazingly nice and just an awesome doctor! Anyways, we decided on monitored cycle: 100 mg clomid for days 3-7, and then an ultrasound at day 10/11, and then after that an HCG trigger shot called ovidrel, which I have in my fridge right now, and learnt how to give to myself.
This shot is normally a good amount of money, and my insurance covered all but $9, and that was off base! The clomid cost nothing. We really are blessed with great healthcare.
I think part of the reason we are going more aggressive is because of this: During my lap they found a mature follie on CD 23, and then on CD 26 my period started-- they know I don't ovulate or have issues with it. :/
So now I'm just waiting for this cycle to be over, so we can start our fertility meds! Aghh!!
And let me say, I am SO ANNOYED at people who keep slamming "I bet you'll have twins with those meds, then what will you do?!" at me.... What would I do?
Have two babies! Duh. At this point, it's like buy one get one free. Seriously. I am going into this knowing it's a possibility, and one that Eric and I totally accept, and kind of hope for (as this has to be our last child for medical reasons..) so that wouldn't be so bad.. we can handle it with our relationship being strong, and finances aren't the issue. I'm sure we'd go a little crazy but who doesn't with a newborn? lol, anyways, Even if said in good humor, it really gets under your skin! Eeesh.
Anyways, there is the update for now!
anyone who has done ovidrel: Does it burn once you inject it? I am doing it in my stomach...
And.... I had no idea they started people on 100mg of clomid, I've heard of 50 being the norm! I hope this works!
