Update on Re Visit

What a long day.

I had my SHG. It went well and was relatively painless. The procedure was only about 5 minutes. The nurse doing the test said she would forward all results for my 3 PM visit with
my dr. I still didn't know a thing.

OK, so here it is. I'll do my results first.

Blood tests - all came back normal.
SHG - showed a large cyst on my right ovary which is inhibiting ovulation on that side. The cyst has been there since my last pregnancy and was supposed to dissolve...it hasn't. What this means is...the doctor doesn't know what it is...a benign cyst, cancerous cyst, endometrosis...she
just doesn't know. So, I have to have a laparoscopy. It's basically a outpatient surgery where they make a small incision in my belly which a camera is attached. My organs can then be seen on a monitor. With a laser, they can remove the cyst and have it biopsied. I'm out of the hospital the same day but I have to be put under with anesthesia.

Thyroid - tests came back low which means I have to up my dosage of meds again...2nd time in 6 months. Another possible cause of infertility.

David's results:

The sperm analysis showed low motility and low morphology which I knew. What I didn't know is that his counts showed a high amount of white blood cells which means he has an infection of some sort. It could be in his colon or somewhere in his lower extremities...we have to follow up with a urologist. Good news is that he can be put on antibiotics to clear it up within a week...and then get retested. But to be sure, we need to see the specialist.

So what does all of this mean? No IUI as of yet. She said it wouldn't be fruitful until after the problems have been resolved. I agree. She also said it would only take one cycle for both of us to be back to ttc and on track...hopefully. If's its cancer, then I'll have to face that head on and seek treatment. The doctor said that seems unlikely since it hasn't grown in 7 months. Again, we will have to see.

So, thats it. My uterus didn't fall out but we have some problems we need to fix first. I'm glad to know and hopefully this will do it for us.
