We are Moving Forward!

May 14, 2012

          The day has come; I go to the doctor’s May 31, 2012.

This is the day I will have a Hysteroscopy. The good news is the

doctor and the nurse is confident everything went well with my

procedure, and we are ready to move forward. I will start my

injection with my first set of medication on May 30, 2012. At this

point we are excited. I will go through a month process of

injections, and the day of retrieval is June 20, 2012.  

        We feel confident, and we have been doing very well during the waiting period; furthermore, we have had great support with the family and friends. I feel this is the great Mother’s Day news, and I think this will be a Great Father’s day gift.  J  

Hello Everyone

April 25, 2012

          Hello everyone;

It has been a few weeks since my last log nothing has been going on since my last entry. We are at a standstill at this time; however, I did go in for a post op about two weeks ago which nothing happened except the doctor said things are moving along as expected. I really do not know what she meant by this, but I will take it that we will be moving along soon. I will be having another Hysteroscopy in a few weeks, and we will find out then if it is a go for us to move forward. Richard and I are staying positive.  During this waiting period it was difficult; however, we have been busy with school that it has been really easy during this waiting period. It has been nice to have free time and enjoying the family as well; anyway, everyone have a wonderful week and as soon as I get my appointment will inform everyone.

God Bless!

Update from the Surgery on Monday

April 4, 2012

            Surgery went well on Monday, and I have been doing a lot of resting. My mom and my hubby have been taking care of me. I have been just relaxing and taking it easy due to I have a water balloon inside my uterus. It is a triangle shape balloon in my uterus filled with saline. It is there so my uterus can heal from the procedure. I have a little discomfort but for the most part I am doing well. I will have it removed on Saturday morning; thank goodness! I am on antibiotics, so I do not get an infection, and I am also on estrogen to help my Uterus heal during this process. I spoke to the doctor yesterday, and she seemed quite positive of the outcome of the procedure. I will be on antibiotics and estrogen for a month, and then I will have another Hysteroscopy. During this time nothing will be going on until I fully recover from this procedure. Richard and I are taking it step by step, and keep in mind on what someone told us is this is one more step closer to our Blessing. J

April 1, 2012

          Hello everyone,

Today this morning I had my first procedure done to get me ready for tomorrow. My mom took me this morning, and she will be taking Ricky and I tomorrow. Right now I am having a lot of cramping, but the pain is manageable. The doctor did give me some pain medication for the cramping, but I only had to take one dose for the pain. I will take one more before I go to bed before midnight, so I will get some rest without being irritable due to the pain. I will keep everyone posted, but I feel calm and positive of the outcome. When Richard and I spoke to the doctor on Thursday, she reassured me that once we get through this we will get back on track to move forward and start our cycle. After the procedure I will be on antibiotic and estrogen for thirty days. After thirty days I will go in for my post op and have a hysteroscopy done where the doctor will check my uterus again to make sure we are ready to move forward.

I have been praying and drawing near to God and allowing him to minister to me. I have learned that I have taken things for granted in my life and to appreciate what we have. I appreciate my kids and draw closer to my sons Paul and Alex. I have taken the time to express my love to them and listen more carefully to what is on their mind. I have taken time to explain how we as a family need one another. My sisters and I started to have a sister bond with one another; One time we were so distance from one another that we would not speak for months at a time or even years. Now we are at a place where eigther we are calling one another, texting, facebook each other, and hanging out. It is nice to be at a place where we are enjoying one anothers company without fighting or disrespecting each other. My sisters and I have developed respect for one another after all these years. Life is a gift and I have learned to choose my battles carefully. There are some things I am still working on; however, one step at a time. Family is important and I pray my family continue to grow and learn from one another. I say agree to disagree because we all do not agree on the same things.

On Our Way and Staying Positive

February 6, 2012

          Once we were sitting here wishing and hoping, but while time passes by our hope is starting to become a reality. Two weeks ago I went to have my Blood drawn.  The test results came back on Thursday and everything came back ok. The doctor called us today, and we have a date for Richard Feb. 24, is the day…Nervous, but at the same time exciting. Richard is going to have a procedure done which is called MASA. It is where the doctor will do a minor incision of his testicles and takes out the sperm. Yes I said the S word……Richard’s sperm will then get frozen until the time is right for the insemination.

 I work every day to stay positive; because, I will not allow my mind to take over with negative thoughts. Something happened to me today when someone stated, “What if it does not happen for you both.” My husband replied, “It will happen! We are going to have a baby!”  Richard spoke with wisdom and reassures me that everything will come together. I could not help but think how anyone could say such a comment. We know it is possible, but it is like throwing salt on an open wound. This is when I speak to my father God, and I ask him to take the thought out of my mind. After I took time away to get my thoughts together, I could not help but think how wonderful everyone has been to Richard and me. Many of our family and friends have given inspiration word of wisdom that it outweighs the foolish comments; for instance, I spoke to the doctor today he kept reassuring me that everything is going to work out. I cannot express it enough having the right people for support is very important during this time; because, the experience couples go through mentally at times can be stressful.
