Now that I've had the surgery and I am healed....I guess it's time for us to put some attempts at TTC'ing again. My cycle after surgery was interesting. It started out very heavy which is new to me. I was worried for as a teacher...I can't always get to the bathroom so I'm investing in more protection...just in case that happens again. I can't remember the last time I had a normal cycle. hmmm...early 20's maybe? hmmmm....
So, the title of this post. Glimmer. I guess at this time I'm feeling a glimmer of hope that we might become parents. Dr. S.(Napro surgeon) thinks we should....Dr. G(my napro g.p.) thinks we should....and tonight I spoke to my napro practitioner who said with surgery and HCG...there is reason to feel hopeful. It's like a door has opened that we closed a few years ago. I am treading ahead with caution. My dh is very skeptical for we've been told to be hopeful before. He's more skeptical than I. I guess it makes sense for he has no idea how much better I feel now that ENDO is gone! I'm not as bloated. I don't have that pain or just tiredness. It's different. Dr. S did for me what no other dr even tried to do. I now finally have healthy lady parts. Glimmer. I am fully aware that God is in control and I have completely put this in HIS hands....glimmer. There's hope...maybe a glimmer...but there's hope.
And for exciting news....I have a classroom pet! I got a beta fish. The kids call it Apple (we've been talking about apples so I guess the name is very suiting to the occasion). The fish is blue not red but we'll call it Apple. I just hope I can take care of Apple. I was going to get a hamster or some kind of rodent but when the pet store workers talked about the care and possible vet visits..I thought...not this year. So, welcome Apple! Now, to get the kids to stop tapping the fish bowl! Criminey!!!
St.Anne Pray for US!!!!

ReplyDeleteHope! I love hope! I will keep you in my prayers. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to hear that having the "lady parts" in working order makes such a big difference in just how you feel everyday. I'll keep praying it makes a difference in other ways as well! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this post and I hope your glimmer turns into full-blown flashing lights of hope! ;) The beta fish sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteI love that your fish is named "Apple" - so cool :).
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this post - it is the glimmers of hope that I know are gifts from God - even when there is pain on the other side, the hope is so healing, so life-giving. I am praying for you that there is only joy on the other side of this hope.
Thank you!!! Your kind words mean so much to me.....very helpful!
