Surgeries

So I had 2 surgeries in one year...

March 2010- ovarian drilling and cyst removal
I had been asking Dr3 to remove cysts because everyone said it would help but he kept saying no, it doesn't help, it's a waste of time and the recovery is rough blah blah blah... When he gave up on me, my SIL-1 had a surgery for ovarian drilling. So I said hmmmmm and looked into it. I had been feeling like my gyn wasn't doing enough for me so I found another doctor with the woman's clinic with the hospital group I wanted to deliver with one day anyway so I switched. Told him of the pains I get and he did some sonograms and then suggested the surgery if I was interested! Got the surgery a month later in march a week before my moms hysterectomy with the same doctor. Got the surgery, he made holes and said he removed half of my cysts and cleaned up a little bit of endometriosis but said it wasn't much. Then he said I could give it 6 months before trying treatments or jump right in. So we tried to see if thigs would work out on their own. It seemed like it because I got my AF every 32-36 days May, June, July and then... August happened... Well lemme back up, I threw up every day for my June and July cycles... In July I was visiting my SIL-1 who had just moved to Washington dc 6 weeks after having her miracle baby in April. Anyway I get back from DC and shortly after my July cycle 'ended' at the end of July, then I got my August one... Weird... Then it wouldn't stop... 6 weeks! I called the doctor and he saw me and gave me provera and said i needed to go to an RE... I was so happy it looked like I was normalizing and then boom there goes that happy... No more cycle... My other SIL (SIL-2) was pregnant and due in December and nothing make u question your own childless state like a baby shower you are obligated to attend... I started looking into my husbands insurance because we had just changed insurances in June since I quit my job (too much stress) and realized OMG we have infertility coverage!!!

December 2010- surgery number 2, laparoscopy/uterine polyp removal
So we went to a fertility doctor in November right before our anniversary. Well while we were in the middle of our fertility treatments round 1, they said it looked like I had polyup/scar tissue/possible tumor growth in my uterus and a pregnancy would probably end in a miscarriage and advised we stop the cycle and have surgery and resume after they results. I was devastated because earlier in the ear I had a skin cancer scare! (wear sunscreen kids!) surgery was 2 days before Christmas! merry Christmas... Surgery went good, tissue was benign and probably caused by my miscarriage the year before. So I healed up, was on BC for a month and could continue treatments with my February cycle (6wks after surgery)

These made surgery numbers 10 and 11 I think my next one is free ;-)
