Megg,
Big huge
I am wondering why they didnt do that before IUI? Tell them you want a refund and free IVF. I wonder if that hasnt been this issue all along!
Dont be scared. I have had laproscopy, biopsy done and went under GA, never twlight sleep, but I can tell you they didnt hurt. The laproscopy was to look in my uterus etc. Way back in 1998.
Its not part of the normal protocol before IUI. They really make no apologies for not doing it earlier, as its just not how they do things. It honestly should have been done before I ever got to the fertility clinic. It isn't so much their failing as it is the failing of my previous docs. But I knew they'd failed me already. So, nothing new. I'm going to make a big deal out of it... I don't need to piss off the people who are actually trying to help. I just appreciate his doing it before wasting an IVF cycle.
Aww Megg that's sh*t hunny, any operation is scary no matter how big or small! I'm angry that your clinic didn't find this out before, talk about cutting it fine! On the bright side it will increase your chances of getting/staying pregnant! Try not to worry too much over the surgery, it will be all worth it in the end!xxx
It will be worth it in the end. And, it really should increase my odds of having my forever baby. So, I'm trying to look on the bright side. I don't like how close we're cutting it to the IVF cycle though.
Oh megg I saw your facebook status and rushed on!
I too can't believe your consultant didn't do this scan ages ago, that is so frustrating. However maybe this will explain some of your issues and the removal will be sure to get you one giant leap closer to your forever baby.
Also, i've had 4 surgeries and the sleep is always very nice. Even after my ERPC I felt so calm waking up.
Also, they would never go a hysterectomy or anything without your consent. just brief your husband they are to touch NOTHING in there apart from the polyp!
Actually, I've only known this consultant for less than 2 months. So, there really isn't a "forever ago" type of history with us. I'm not blaming him... I'm really not. Its my other ob/gyn's who are truly to blame.
But it IS a giant leap closer to my baby. And, I've heard very good things about twilight sleep. I'm feeling okay about that bit.
I definitely intend to explain to Kevin that I want NOTHING done except the polyp removal without consulting me first. I'm sure they wouldn't do anything else... Its just one of those things in the back of my mind.
Damn it Megg! Do you know how big it is? They are really common you know. When I had my hysteroscopy they found a small polyp the size of a pimple they tried to take it out but couldn't get it. I was completely awake and didn't have any drugs for pain. I was told if I go for IVF they will want to take it out because they want a clean uterus. They said for me this polyp was not causing my mcs. I wonder how big yours is and where it is located. I'm mad that they didn't deal with this earlier but glad they are addressing it now. Did they tell you how they are doing the surgery? I think it is very straightforward. You will not lose your uterus. I promise!
Its bigger than a pimple. I'll post a badly drawn pic of what it sort of looked like. It was "pretty good sized" and sort of toward the bottom... definitely on the left wall. In the pic, the black is the background, the grey is the normal grey-ish crap on an ultrasound, the white is the saline/my uterus, and the circle is drawn to show where it was protruding in. Obviously, it wasn't anywhere nearly that clear, and I'm guessing based on a memory from a very stressful, emotional time. But, I think its close.
The surgery will be done by dilating my cervix to 1cm and inserting a hysteroscopy camera, then they'll do a sort of D&C procedure to just take the polyp and anything else that shouldn't be there. He said that a lot of people would just do a D&C and scrape out whatever they could, but he uses a camera because he wants to minimize the potential for collateral damage. He doesn't want to blindly scrape out my uterus when he can just take out what doesn't belong.
To be honest, I had some funny gut feeling that I'd have to have a D&C before the IVF, but I ignored it because I couldn't see any reason why it would be necessary. It seems I can't escape it though!
with your EWCM! You've inspired me and I've bought some cough syrup (guafisen or whatever) to whip out at a moment's notice when ov might be approaching.
Can anyone tell me what to expect?
!!!!!! I am so angry for you darling, but at least they are doing something now, be it a little late! I have had a laparoscopy under GA and I was fine! You'll be fine!!
Guess I'll be on hold if the FS wants to start messing around with stuff.
I've linked my Chart!! Woop woop!!! Take a gander girlies...
It was that damn doctor's appointment where my hormone levels were off that made me think I better keep trying as I'm probably in it for the long haul! There's no time for NTNP when my body had turned me this neurotic. 
so not sure what to do tomorrow now. Do i test with FMU on an IC or leave it until thursday to test again?
