Lily was so right about Dr. Synn. He just called me to see how I was doing and to see if I had any questions. Told him I wanted to know how things went. He said that everything went very well, very textbook. My tubes are nice and open...yay!!! I thought it was really nice of him to call and make sure I was doing ok. Most doctors have their nurse call to follow-up. I thought it was a nice personnal touch. Oh and when I said that I was sore he actually apologized...haha, i'm like it's totally fine, comes with having surgery, no worries. He said that he had to put in some mesh to keep scar tissue away from my tubes and ovaries and that's a lot of manipulating so that's probably why i'm really sore.
So that's what's going on. Now I just have to heal and it's back to baby making. Cross your fingers!

Update
So I called the Dr's office. Of course, he is not in the office today and of course he has my chart with him. The nurse that I spoke to said that with Dr. Synn no news is good news. She said that if anything didn't go as planned, he would have called me to let me know. So I will go with "no news is good news" until I see him on December 9th for my post-op appointment.
How funny is it that my post op is on our anniversary. That's when he will tell me if we can resume the baby making and what the next step is from here. I'm thinking injections, but we shall see.
Lots of love

Versed, Zofran and Darvocet...my new best friends!
I am home from surgery. Everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, I didn't get to speak to the doctor after surgery, but he told Mike that everything went really well and that I was doing just fine. I am going to assume that the surgery was successful. I will try to call the office today to see if I can get a straight answer as to whether or not he was able to open up my tubes.
I feel ok. My lower abdomen is a lot more sore than I thought it would be. It feels like someone punched me about 20 times down there. Thankfully the darvocet is working. I've got quite a few bruises on my belly too but that's not too bad and it was expected. I didn't sleep great because of the soreness and the fact that I had to pee about 20 times, but I see a lot of naps in my near future. Clovis hospital is wonderful. All the staff was excellent and very friendly...they even gave me a small bouquet of flowers when I left! I thought that was really sweet. If they had an NICU there, I would gladly deliver our baby there (someday soon hopefully). St-Agnes has gotten so ghetto, I mean seriously, last week, someone actually did some graffiti on the bathroom wall with a sharpie. Come on!
I will post more news when I have some. I will now try to call the Dr's office.
Lata!

The Date is Set
So we finally have a date for my lap procedure to open up my tubes. November 19th! I really hope it works. If the good Dr cannot open up my tubes, our only other option (other than adopting) is to do IVF. I wouldn't mind IVF, it's just really expensive...10-12 thousand! My insurance doesn't cover any infertility stuff. Fortunately the lap procedure I am having in November is not yet considered infertility so the insurance is covering that. So cross your fingers and your toes for us because I need this to work.
Other than that, not much news on our end. It was nice not having to take any hormones this month. No hot flashes, no gas (well, less gas haha) and no bloating.
My newest obsession is the Twilight book series by Stephenie Meyer. I cannot put those books down. There are 4 in the series and I just started the fourth one last night. These books are making me lose sleep because I can't put them down. The movie adaptation of the first book comes out November 21st and I cannot wait. I am so going to the midnight show.
And now I am off to take a nice long walk. It's nice and crisp outside and I need the fresh air.
Oh and yesterday was my dear mother's birthday. Happy birthday mom! I hope you had a terrific day because lord knows you deserve everything you wish for. I love you.
