Its been a while but i can finally bring myself to write on my blog. A friend said she had been following my blog but i had not put up any updates.. to be honest i just couldn't write, well actually i didn't want to write. But tonight after much thought i decided to continue to write about our journey.
I finally saw my new Dr... Dr VC ... AMAZING MAN !!!
He was the first Dr to actually way, lets do a lap and see whats going on inside you.
He was the first Dr not to go right away and blame my weight.
He was the first Dr to want to look for some answers to WHY we cant get pregnant.
After our initial meeting he booked me in for one week later to have a lap, hsg and a pap.
he went though the procedure and let us know of all the risks and what they would be looking for...
Fast forward one week later.....
I get to the hospital and everything is fine and go in for surgery..
Dr VC said the op should only take about 30 minutes.. no worries..... easy....
Fast Forward 1.5 hours later
The surgery took much longer than expected...
Dr VC finally came in to take to DH and I about what they had discovered in the surgery.
They found...
Mild Endo which was removed
Polyps - removed
Cysts - removed
Fibroids - removed (one had actually twisted and if it had been left any longer was about to start getting gangrene)
My right tube was badly damaged and inflamed nothing was getting through - they surgically opened it up
my left tube was inflamed and blocked but not as bad as the right and was surgically opened up.
and the cherry on top...
I have a diverted uterine septum which causes miscarriages and infertility and the space inside my uterus is 33% less than normal women.
he then did a D&C to clean me all out.
He also confirmed that I DO ovulate on my own because he took a photo of my ovary having JUST ovulated !! (YAY)
Dr VC actually confirmed that there was no way i was ever going to get pregnant considering the state my body was in.
At the end of our meeting he actually said that i may not need to do IVF straight away we can try non IVF method first and then move on to it if we need to.
So.. for the moment we are going to try on our own and see what happens.. WHO knows things just might work out..
Thank You Dr Vince Chappel At Fertility North - You will and WANT to help make our dreams come alive!
