Say that 5 times fast! I had to! Well not exactly but I had to say it twice on the day of my surgery. They just wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting and that I was getting the right stuff done. So that was almost a week ago. My mom came up and stayed with us and took care of me while I recovered :) It was so awesome to have her here. And hubby was wonderful through the whole thing too. He brought me flowers (2 bunches, not just the standard 1) on the day after, chocolates the following day, and then finally on Friday a gift certificate for a massage and mani pedi. All in all I'd go through it again....actually I might just have to. While the doctor was performing the laparoscopy he checks for endometriosis (and any other abnormalities). I do have some endo (who doesn't?), but he said it's mild and not overly attached to my ovaries yet. So I assume before we can go any further with fertility treatments I'm going to have to get that taken care of. I'll find out more on Friday when I have my post-op apt aka "surgery rundown". If I do have to have another laparoscopy it could be as early as a month from now. I know you're probably asking yourself "Another lap? Why didn't they take care of the endo at the first lap?" And the answer is, while that was standard not too long ago, it's outdated. The doctor uses specialized robotic equipment (at a different surgery location) to deal with the endo. But even if I end up needing more surgery we are at least one step closer to our goal!
On the other side of the fertility front, my hubby's numbers that were sucky at best following his first semen analysis are now back up to a low normal range! We've had him on some supplements to help improve the morphology and motility (the problem areas) and they seem to be working (or the first test was a fluke)!
