IVF Our Only Option....

So we went to out Appt today and found out why I haven't gotten pregnant. His sperm is only 1% good.. I also have MTHFR Disease (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase), it's a blood Disease, causes Miscarriages and blood clots. IVF is our only option to conceive, he said we have a 1% of getting pregnant on our own, and I have to get pregnant, and if I get pregnant with the ab-normal sperm, I will just miscarry. I'm really glad we found all this out, I just can't believe we actually have real Infertility. I never thought this would happen to us...It breaks my heart, I just can not believe IVF is our only option. Even though we have a 1% of conceiving on our own, we are still TTC, and not giving up. Since we can't afford IVF, because they want it ALL up front, we are just gonna try and get Tri Care to pay for it. Even though I know there is a like a 2 year waiting list, and we can't wait any longer, we have to get pregnant asap, because his sperm is gonna get worse, and then he will have NONE. So hopefully we can just skip the waiting list.. we'll see I guess. This is just a total shock to us.. we just thought it was me because the Endometriosis, But obviously not... We are just both so torn up... I really can not believe this...I never thought we were suffer from Infertility. I'm just praying with everything I am, we can at least have 1 kid of our own. My Infertility Dr also said once I do get pregnant I will get a shot everyday til I'm 12 weeks pregnant to keep me from miscarrying. Sigh... Please pray for us, we are going through a very very tough time. Thank you ladies.

Post Appt.

So I went and saw my Infertility Dr. He looked at my incisions and they are healing very nicely!! He said he larsed most the Endo,blood out and all scar tissue! So that's a plus! He said I'll probably be in pain for a few weeks because the Endo and blood he larsed out was on nerve endings!! OUCHIES! So I'm hoping soon after I heal I won't be having any pelvic pain for a while! He said he needs me all the way healed for the In Vitro (and healing takes 4-6 weeks) Well next week Bruce has to get another spermie test. Then on the 9th we have an Appt for treatment and talk about what will be best and the In Vitro. I really can not wait to get this started!! The process takes 2 weeks..sooo the sooner the better!!!! :)

After Surgery.

So they got the Endometruim cyst out, and it was the size of an orange. Ouch I know! He larsed just about all the Endometriosis out and got rid of all scar tissue! He said I won't have a problem with geting Pregnant or Miscarrying anymore! Thank the Lord. So I'm hoping we get Pregnant in Dec before we do InVitro in Jan. That would be so nice. I go see my Infertility Dr next week to make sure I'm healing right. I'm so glad they let Bruce home, because I can't lift myself..and he has been a HUGE help..thank you baby! Keep us in your prayers! Thank you.

Emergency Surgery.

So I am having emergency surgery tomorrow afternoon. because the Endometrium Cyst is poking out and can feel it..and hurts like HELL! So they want to get it out ASAP! Bruce is in the field...but they are getting him home. Ughh I'm so scared to have surgery...Please keep me in your prayers that everything goes great. Also in Jan is when we are doing the In Vitro!!!!!!!!:)

Infection?

I went to see my Infertility Doctor today, because they thought the HSG mighta gave me an infection cause the pain I've been in. Well he did an ultrasound, and on my left ovary, he saw the Endometrium Cyst. (which can make you not ovulate) So they only thing they can do, is a Laparoscopy. So I'm having surgery to get it removed and get the Endo larsed out. I go Thrusday to see the surgeon there, and to make a date for the surgery. my Infertility Doctor also said that..that is why I'm always in pain, and probably why I have not gotten pregnant. Also in Jan/Feb we are doing InVitro, because they are having a Military discount and taking off 6,000$. So it'll only be 6,000. and he said that may be the best choice for me and seeing how hes in the Military. So soon we will have our baby growing! :) Please pray the surgery goes well..I'm terrified of getting put to sleep..So now everything is truly falling into place.

HSG & HSC

My tubes are NOT blocked!!! and I'm so thankful! The HSG was very painful for me. I was already having pelvic pain from before and that just made it about 1000000 times worse! I couldn't even walk after wards!! Next I got the HSC done and OMG!!! that hurt wayyyy worse than the HSG!! It hurt so bad I was screaming and I couldn't lay still, they had to strap me down..Bruce had to basically carry me to the car!! Well It was hard for them to look in certain places because my uterus is titled... but he said everything looks very good! :) They were BOTH very very painful but it will ALL ALL be soo worth it! My child will see everything I had to go through to have them and I know they will be PROUD!!!!!! :)

Ultrasound.

I went and got the ultrasound done today and looks like my Endo has gotten worse and I have a Endometrium cyst on my left ovary. He didn't seem too worried about it. They still hadn't gotten my blood test results back, they probably will tomorrow..hopefully.. Tomorrow i have 2 Appts.. The 1st: one they doing a HSG, which is when they put a cathatar in your cervix; and blow up your uterus, and put dye in you to see if your tubes are blocked or not. the 2nd: Diagonstic Hysteroscopy (HSC). which is an tool in an exaltation of infertility. It's a long narrow thingy, that they insert through the cervix and into the lower end of the uterus. So we should find out A LOT of answers Tomorrow!!!

First Appt With Infertility Spc.

My first Appt with the Infertility Specialist was Today..everything went so well!!! He needs to run 35 blood test.. and a physical! Then he wants to check to see if my tubes are blocked or not (HSG) and to look at my uterus(HSC) and make sure everything is alright. He said that all takes about 5 weeks and then treatment! He also wants to why I keep miscarrying and fix it! Also I can't be around any toxic stuff like: air freshener, cleaning stuff, candles, kitty litter, perfume...etc. So he just wants me to take it easy! Bruce also needs to get blood test done. and they are also gonna check his spermies count and the sperm. Then freeze some of the sperm in case he has to deploy some day. I'm so happy!! After 1 year and 10 months of trying we are actually getting pregnant..FINALLY! I couldn't be happier with this Doctor and I have so much faith in him!

Moved And Being Sent To Infertility Specialist!

Sorry I haven't been updating much just always busy, at the doctors or in way too much pain. So we finally moved down from ALASKA and to Colorado! and couldn't be happier..Everything is going very very great! Well I go to the Dr to get a referral to see an Infertility Specialist because it's been 2 years almost...

New GYNO.

So after it being a year...I asked for a new GYNO... for a woman..because maybe a woman would understand more and actually help! So runs 28 tubes of blood..and does a physical exam. Well after a few weeks the blood test come back and I go see her again. Well she said all my blood test look alright and that she THINKS the lining of my uterus is not strong enough to carry a child. (I'm in tears at this point and very heartbroken) I ask her if she will put me on Clomid or anything.. and she refuses..1st: because my PTSD and depression, she doesn't think it would be good for me to be pregnant and 2nd: because we were waiting on PCS'ing from Alaska. I'm very upset.. cuss her out and storm the hell out!!!! and start to think it's just not gonna happen for me is it?
