Before I get to the title of my post....I had another follow up mammo on my left breast done this morning. Back in Feb, they found a cyst and it was just a check up to see if it's growing. Well, after the mammo they sent me back to get an ultrasound...they needed more pics. Okay...so the ultrasound is done and the tech tells me to wait to get dressed for she might need more pics...she comes back...and she needs more pics. She told me that she found another "area" that was not seen last time. So, more pics taken and she comes back to tell me that it appears that I have another cyst in the same breast. So I have two. I'll have to come back in six months. I guess the first cyst hadn't grown...but another cyst? I'm so thankful it's not the big "C" word...so I'll quit while I'm ahead. But really? I'm going to have to research the causes of cyst formation and if any of you have any insight...please share.
Well...back to Dr. Hope....I had follow up with my Napro GP today also re: cholesterol tests I had done recently, etc. I showed her my chart because ladies...it is one hot mess this cycle. I added femara to my medicine diet this cycle. I asked if I even "O"ed this month. I had literally 2 mc (mucus) days. What? I usually have about 5 to 7 good mc days. I should have started the hcg shots a few days ago but because I was waiting for mc to show up...I didn't do it...so the dr told me to do my p+5 tonight. She is sure I "O"ed. So confusing!
I then told her that I (we) was done. I had it with side effects of the femara/meds etc. I needed to move on. After looking at my chart the dr said "This is the best your chart has ever looked. I wouldn't give up now." What am I suppose to do with that? She said in a nutshell that it was time to get my dh checked out. My hormones are stellar and she can't see any reason why I'm not getting pg. She looked at all of my numbers too....everything looks great. What? I should be ecstatic and grateful but I'm full of dread. My dh is not one that is going to like hearing that he needs to get tested. Ugh! The last time we did a SA it was disastrous and he was so done after that. Ugh! I asked if we should really continue and Dr Hope said "Yes, now is not the time to give up."
So, I'm going to end this post with a little request....please pray that God will give me the words to convince my dh to get a physical and to get tested. For once my body seems to be cooperating (with the exception of this femara cycle). For once.
Update**I laid it all out during dinner (for my dh kept probing about the dr visit) and my dh has agreed...after 5 years...to get another SA done! He's going to get a physical done too which is something else my dr recommended. God is working here ladies!!! He heard my prayers today. Thank you Lord! I just love you so!!!****I just hope this gives us some answers.
St. Anne...pray for us!
Hope seems to be a word that keeps popping up lately. I smiled as I read your update. You and your DH will continue to be in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep praying for you guys!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your DH!
ReplyDeleteI read this all at once and I love that update! Sending lots of prayers your way!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies! Only an IF girl can understand why I'm excited about my dh getting and SA done. hehehe
ReplyDeletePraying for you both!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just came across your blog through another blogger. We had a horrible experience with our first SA (my husband ended up in tears after arguing with the lab manager for half an hour... LONG story), but we went through the steps and found the root cause of part of infertility and we were able to fix it with a 20 minute, outpatient procedure. The SA is uncomfortable and embarrassing, but it's so worth it to get tested and know what you are dealing with!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that your husband has agreed to get tested! Fertility is a 50/50 process. It's so important to make sure both spouses are healthy. I'm praying for you!
Thanks Waiting...I am guessing that my husband is open to getting tested now that a dr confirmed I am healthy! Last year, we knew I had a lot of work to do...now it's his turn. :)
DeleteThe dr assured me that this next SA test would go smoother...what we dealt with 5 years ago has been "ironed" out. I hope so.
