Another appointment

Some time ago now, this blog was just a thought in my husbands head; now its a functioning working piece of my thoughts, feelings, and love all written down. It really is just a modge podge of craziness! When I first set out to do this blog I was going to discuss my journey through infertility, since Justin (husband) and I have been trying to have a baby for over a year.

We have struggled with conception and are now seeing a "specialist" as I have previously spoken about before. I don't remember if I said how my first rounds of test came out but here is what I know so far. Justin spooged ejaculated in a cup and his test came back normal (yeah!) As for me I had tons of blood drawn and found that I have all normal levels (yeah!). So, all in all right now it looks like we were in the clear of any actual fertility problems.

Yesterday, on the 26th I had the last test that was needed before Justin and I meet with the "specialist" and that was an ultrasound, well two really, I had a normal one on the outside of my abdominal cavity where they looked at my kidneys, uterus, ovaries, stomach and bladder. Mind you during this part I had a full bladder and had to pee so bad that I think if the radiologist asked me to roll to my side one more time I was going to pee my pants (literally not figuratively). The next part of the ultrasound was an internal one where they ask you to finally relieve your bladder and they look at your ovaries and uterus more clearly from the inside so its a much more clear and closer picture. That part wasn't painful it was just a little weird, and awkward.

From the ultrasound the radiologist found that I have cysts on both ovaries and on my right side a rather large one. At that time I didn't know what to say but OK, thanks for the information. By the time I had gotten to work in sank in that this could be a huge problem and prolong the whole getting prego thing a bit. My co-workers had to console me for a few minutes while I cried, it was rather cathartic. They may never know how much it means that they take the time to listen to my many problems (thanks!). In the meantime I need to try not to worry as Justin says and wait til Thursday for our appointment with the "specialist" to figure out a game plan. (if you haven't figured it out I am into having a plan and goals).

Lets hope all things go well and we come out of this with a renewed sense that we ARE going to have a baby.
