Ay up my lovelies

Here's the news from Urchin Towers ...
I was second on the list yesterday, but first on the list lady was waiting on bloods, so I got bumped up to first place - meaning I went down to theatre at 9.10
Five minutes in the anaesthetics room and just starting to think (as I always do) 'I don't think this anaesthetic is working' ... then someone spoke to me and I think I mumbled something to say I wasn't asleep yet and the voice said 'you're back on the ward'

So I slept for a couple of hours then woke up crampy - not dreadful, just like a bad period. Then I had an odd conversation with a nurse that went like this:
Me: I'm quite sore, could I have some painkillers
Nurse: I'm afraid the only thing I can give you is Morphine
Me: That will be fine!

I thought she was going to say paracetamol! At home with similar cramps I would have sent Mr Urch for co-codamol and hot water bottle - but Morphine? that'll do nicely

So I slept for another couple of hours, woke up and had a cuppa a wee and something to eat (ticking all the 'ready to go home today' boxes)
Dozed a bit more, read a bit of my book and waited for my consultant Mrs R to come see me.

She arrived at about half past four and told me that she'd had a good look around and could report that there are:
No scars
No adhesions
No fibroids
No polyps
and the lining is all fine too!!!!!!!

I thanked her many many times and agreed to let her know how it all works out for us!
I am officially in love with Mrs R - she is the kindest consultant I've ever met and such a good surgeon, honestly my external scar is so neat and fine and it sounds like she left my insides as neat as the out!

So I got home about 6 last night, still quite woozie from the anaesthetic and morphine - but very happy that we have the green light!
I've phoned the fertility clinic this morning to pass on my news and am generally taking things a bit easy today

By this I mean no plastering, but I am about to do some cleaning and re-cut the windowsill for the bathroom and tile round it

I really am no good at all at doing nothing, in fact it stresses me a lot more than just pottering about doing light jobs at a slow pace - but I do promise, no plastering!

Just thought I'd pass on the good news

@Urchin, I am so happy to hear that your procedure went so well, and that you are only a little soar!!!! That is great news that you got the green light to move ahead with your plans!!!! I am super excited for you hun!!! I wish you all the best with your plans moving forward!!!

AFM, I am already thinking about weekend plans, I think me and DH are going to put up our Christmas tree and decorations on Sunday. DH has Friday off since he works 10 hour days and gets every other Friday off, so we are going to have a long weekend. So Friday i am thinking of checking out a mall that I have never been to to try to find an outfit to go out on Saturday night in. I havent went out for a night of dancing in so long and I think it might be fun for me and DH to go check out a club around here.

Do you lovley ladies have any fun plans for the weekend? I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!

That is fantastic news urchin!!! So happy for you.

Urch I am literally grinning like the Cheshire cat! I have a really strong feeling that the fact you have over-come all of these obstacles lately to get the green light is a flipping amazing omen! You my lovely are soon to be pregnant!!!!

Wannabe that sounds nice hun, I will probably just be starting up my Etsy store and maybe doing a few more jewellery creations. I am not holding my breath that this is going to take off for quite a few months but I am more excited about the prospect of hearing some happy news from customers. My personal opinion is that the success stories relating to fertility crystals have more to do with providing the wearer with PMA and hope rather then any 'magical' properties - Kind of like a Placebo effect but hey if it works, it works! As always I love researching new fertility related tales and I will try to keep an open mind when it comes to Crystal Healing as I know many people swear by it. Oh and the Jewellery looks quite nice too Also nice to have my jewellery scream that we are trying for a baby but in a secret way

Went out to dinner with the in-laws for our anniversary last night. MIL was saying she "Knew a girl who stopped taking her BCP and got pregnant right away, but they didn't think she could.", and when I mentioned my irregular cycles (3-4/yr!) she asked me if I was taking any vitamins.



I guess people who don't have trouble TTC just don't get it. I sat there and smiled through it, though inside I was feeling pretty down.

Did I mention it was a huge restaurant/shops place decorated for Christmas, so there were a ton of little ones toddling around...

That's so great!

Oh thank you!! Reading this put a huge smile on my face!

Mine was a trans-abdominal and trans-vaginal u/s (2 different tests) in which she did quite a bit of looking and recording of things. lol I haven't had what you are going to have so unfortunately I have no info for you on how that will be. *hugs* I'm hoping that you have the same type of easy experience that Urchin did!

As for the prometrium, I'm currently using it to kick start AF when needed. I start taking it if I don't have a new AF 6 weeks after cd1 and am not pregnant. My dose is the same as yours. I've actually discovered that for me where I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep, if I take the prometrium a couple of hours before bed, I'll have that woozy drunk feeling, but it seems to put me to sleep RIGHT away. lol If I want to avoid that feeling, I just take it right before I go to sleep and so far, when doing that, I've had no side effects that I've been awake to notice.

Ugh. Yeah and the hard thing is that even knowing that people who haven't had trouble don't have a clue, they still somehow manage to blindside me with their comments. *hugs* I'm sorry she was so uncomprehending of what you are going through.

@Urchin - I'm so glad that things went well and that the results were all clear and clean!! YAY! I'm also glad that if the scissors were present, that they weren't noticed. lol

That's brilliant news urchin xx I hope u are all well x Afm i was CD17 yesturday and 6dpo and i had a bit of brown spotting so either i am getting af really early or it was implatation bleeding which i have never had before, i am praying to god that it is implantation. Also the hospital rang me on tuesday and while i am waiting for my appointment the doctor wants to investigate so i have to have more tests done and oh has to have his semen tested xx

Awesome news urchin, I'm so happy for you

Tasha, FX for you that it was implantation bleeding

I'm hoping it was implantation too!
