OK, so we're all go for surgery. AF arrived today, so am definitely not pregnant (Gosh. What a shock!   ), and my operation is therefore next week, Tuesday 12th. The husband has done his 'sample' too, so we should know one way or the other, this time next week, how things are looking. The husband and I had the big 'if we can't do this ourselves, what options will be look at' as far as having children goes. I really needed to have that conversation, so I'm glad we did.
Still, with the op next week, I'm so hopeful ...somebody kick me? ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Nice to see you Ginger, sorry I haven't emailed, been off sick.
Best of luck with the operation, and I just found out that after 2 years of trying she is pregnant! She had to have assistance to get there, but is great news! ------------- ">

Yes i second the taking care thing. my second surgery I ended up with an infection in one of the cuts as I wanted to do everything myself. And my SIL went back to work the day after the op and ended back in hospital - silly girl. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hi !!
Well, I'm back! I had the surgery last Tuesday, and they removed endo. Apparently it was grade 1, so I'm lucky ...and horrified on behalf of all women who have grades 2-4  . Ouch!
The majority of it was on my ovaries, so therein could lie our problem. Time will tell! My specialist said to me when I had my follow-up yesterday that if we're not pregnant in 3-6 months, she'll refer me onto the fertility clinic within the hospital. The husband's fertility test was ok - he was a bit doubtful in a couple of areas (50% motility, 56% abnormal heads), but the specialist wasn't worried as he had a really good count (91 mill per ml) and she thinks that the both of us being a bit under-par would have been enough. What else? Oh yes ...she also thinks that I may have mild PCOS, but that because I have good strong ovulation every month, it doesn't matter a bit. I don't know the first thing about PCOS, so I'll just assume she knows that she's talking about! OK. I think that's all ...otherwise, I'm recovering. I was back at work yesterday but taking it very easy. I'm a bit sore today - I guess because I'm not resting so much now. But, otherwise I'm ok. The husband was a gem and bought me the first season of Gilmore Girls, which I've been watching flat out ...he figured it was the only way he could think of to keep me plastered to the couch, as I was too knacked and sore to concentrate on a book
Have a fab day everyone! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

i'm glad to hear the surgery went well for you ginger.
i was told the same as you after being diagnosed with PCOS after having endo removed...give it 6mths and then come back if no baby. luckily we didn't need to
i've heard you are most fertile within those 6mths after endo surgery
but as jess said, take it easy love  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Yeah, the surgeon said to me on Monday that there was to be no naughty stuff this month so that I heal properly ....
oops ... 
The poor husband was feeling the depprivation a bit ...he's had to hold off for his test, then I had AF, then I had the flu, then I had the surgery ...hehe. Poor boy!! I was feeling ok, and I didn't have the heart to point him in the direction of the shower ...ahem ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Yeah ...it would be LOL about the shower ...except now I'm wondering about these 'adhesion pains' ...it sounds ouchy. Mind you, that's assuming we got pregnant, which I doubt, and of course my cycle is all up the wazoo now I think because I bled for miles (well, a few metres anyway ...) post-op and I guess that's upset things as far as my usual cycle goes. Who knows?
Anyway - thanks for the baby dust Paws! I'm thinking of you, and hoping all goes well when it happens! It must be hard being at that 40 week mark, you'll just be busting for it all to happen! My poor cousin has been struggling to hold onto a pregnancy since about 24 weeks, and now all of a sudden, she's full term, and the baby has decided to hunker down! She's furious!! Hehe ... ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Haha ginger dont worry i have had 3 abdominal surgeries and they think from that (mainly appendix) that caused it. After i had my appendix out i was at the bar working again about a week later and i had a door smashed into my stitches in the exact same spot i had my adhesion pain so i dont know if that was related or not but it was dang painful (the door).
Just when you get pregnant if u notice pain like appendix pain tell ur midwife and get to see a specialist and they will give u copious amounts of drugs (all safe for pregnancy) Hey it hasnt put me off wanting another

PS the bleeding after the surgery was horrid yep and then about 2 weeks later i had my period lol she diagnosed me with PCOS and said i hadnt ovulated in over a year (musta been cobwebs on my ovaries ) and she stimulated them and they must have started then and there lol
Took about a month to get back on track So dont give up and always keep an open mind about it all and know that there are things they can do to help you
