Doctor's Appointment

So yesterday I saw my fertility specialist here in Vernon. I had a ton of questions and things to tell him about the whole fertility drug regiment, and I asked for options. This whole drug thing is making me psycho!!!!!!! Well just extremely hormonal, and emotional.

So I have agreed to for now one more round of fertility drugs and after that I am going in for an operation. They call it drilling the ovaries. It is different from a wedge resectional which is what I thought was what they would do. However drilling the ovaries leaves less scaring, and I will loose less eggs with the ovary drilling. This will hopefully make it so I won't have to use fertility drugs. This will all happen while we are waiting to be sent to a fertility clinic in Vancouver. I was given the choice between Vancouver and Calgary and I chose Vancouver because I go down there all the time anyways. I still am mot sure about how far we will go with all this fertility stuff because we will be spending lots of money for no guarantees, while if we were to pursue the adoption route then there is a guarantee of a child at some point.

My doctor was very surprised that I have not ovulated yet because he thought for sure that I should have with what I was on. So I feel that Jeral and I need to spend some time praying and asking Jesus about this. Maybe this is just not the time, and that is why the drugs have not worked.

I went into have some blood tests and to make sure that I am not pregnant. A blood test is more accurate than peeing on a stick. Once the results come back I can start the next round of drugs. The reason for the test is to make sure that when I start the progesterone to force my cycle I would not be aborting an early pregnancy. In the later stages of pregnancy the progesterone would not cause the pregnancy to be aborted however in the earlier stages the pregnancy would be aborted. If that happened because we were to Hasty I would be devastated. So I will be patient and wait upon Jesus. However I am praying that I am pregnant. What a Christmas gift that would be, and to be honest it is the only Christmas gift for Jesus that I would want right now!

Oh well! Such is the way life is unravelling for Jeral and I. Blessings to you and your families!
