So after three miscarriages, too much heartache for one person to bear, Tons of doctors visits, poking, proding and bloodwork, and 6 months ttc I've found out why my body can't seem to STAY pregnant. I have a uterine septum, and it makes my body unable to nurish a placenta or growing bean. I have to have surgery, an operative hysteroscopy, to fix it. The good news is, there is a fix! I'm so happy, I'll be pregnant for keeps this year!!!

I hope our future child knows how much we love them already. The harder it is to have a baby the more precious you realize they are. I'm sure I'll never take my child, or future children for granted, b/c I know too much how it feels to think maybe you never will be a mommy...

I can't wait till my surgery!! That is so wierd to say, but it is true. I know it will stink, but after it we'll ba able to bring a baby to earth... There is a funny quote that goes something like this... thank heaven for keeping my angel babies, but heaven, can you send a baby to earth for me? So true!!

Yesterday I went to the RE, and had to see a different doctor, as Goodman was in Surgery... I was feeling horrid! I felt super dumb when they said it was probably gastroitus- a side effect from the meds. But they did check out my overies- they saidI'm going to be ovulating on the Left side- and the follie was 18mm. So I should O soon! Today I have ewcm, so I know it's coming soon- and it was so much ewcm too.. I even took a photo of it b/c I'm silly.

I'll go in for a progesterone draw 8 days past +opk- which I hope will be today! And then 12 days past +opk I'll go for the endometrial biopsy. Then 5 days later I'll meet with DR. G, and we'll talk about everything, then we'll schedule the surgery. Hopefully it will be asap, but we also have to take into acct that Rob needs 2 weeks notice to get off of work... but I'd rather heal at home alone then have to put it off a month extra... we'll see.

Oh, and I go in on Friday- to follow up with DR. G. They'll do another scan, and she'll talk to me about things.. I need to make a list of quick questions.. I want to ask her about my lining being possibly too thick too... the other doctor mentioned that he thought it might be too thick- 12mm at CD 13... I don't know, we'll see.

I'm feeling so optamistic!!

so- I had my surgery 1 week ago, and I'm feeling good again finally. I'm now doing accupuncture and chineese medicine to help ttc as well, and will be on progesterone and baby asprin next cycle to help me get and stay pregnant as well.

I don't have too much of an update- just that everything has been going well- my last progesterone was 13, and my endo biopsy results were all good. I don't have a LPD, but the progesterone is sort of a precaution- basicly,- it can't hurt, and it will help me get pregnant, and STAY pregnant, sooner.

I'm 4dpo, and can't wait to be able to ttc again. I'm hoping, wishing, praying, and doing whatever I can to get pregnant. My edd will be June 1st 2009 I think... so here's to a summer baby! (hope I can survive a florida summer while pregnant!)

I'm so sorry you have had to go through so much to try and have a child. My mother had many problems and I was a miracle baby. She was told she would never have children. She lost an ovary at the age of 18 and adventually had to have a hysterectomy a few years after I was born. I just want you to know there is hope! I also have a very good friend who had gone through 4 miscarriages. She had no problem getting PG but keeping the baby was another story. She was put on aspirin and finally they were able to keep a pregnancy. They now have a beautiful healthy 7 month old little boy. I thought I would share this with you to give you hope and encouragement! GL to you and lots and baby dust and SBV's! You deserve it!
