Screeching halt...
Posted 10-29-2008 at 06:28 PM by kcontreras
Last week (October 22nd) I went in for my Saline Infusion Sonohysterogram.
I had read different reactions people had to the procedure, some had pain, some did not. I figured that I'm tough, and I can handle it.
I did start taking a mild pain releiver starting early in the a.m. until my test in the afternoon. However if I knew it was going to be so painful, I would have asked for something much stronger.
I somehow made it through the 10 minute procedure and was so relieved when it was over! I got dressed and went back into the doctor's office for the results.
He said, "Well... I've got good news and I've got bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Naturally I asked for the bad first, because I wanted to end on a higher note.
The bad news is that I have a fibroid tumor the size of a grapefruit growing on the inside of my uterus. The good nees - my tubes are 100% clear. (Which was a relief because I always thought they could be blocked).
The doctor told me that he wanted me to stop TTC because he feared that if I got pregnant on this cycle of Clomid, I would miscarry because of how large the fibroid is.
He told me that I will need to have surgery (a myomectomy) before we can continue with fertility treatments. I was SO bummed. But in a way, relieved that this was found and can be treated.
He seemed to think that this fibroid is a cause of the infertility, so I'm hoping that after the surgery, I may become pregnant.
Of course, now we are 'on hold' until December or January. The surgery will probably be scheduled for the last week in November. I can't wait to get this over so we can get back on the TTC wagon.
Of course, now this past week I've been miserable! I took Clomid CD3-7 and the day after taking the last pill I found out about the fibroid. And the clomid is obviously doing some kind of "work" on me. My ovaries feel full, heavy, and swollen. I hope that this is a good sign that ovulation is going to occur soon.
I have still been temping daily and using OPK's to determine when I might O. I hope it happens really soon!
So I suppose that's it for now. I feel like this whole TTC journey has come to a screeching halt. Hopefully we can start again soon!
