Surgery
I finally decided to have a scope done to see if I had endometriosis on Tuesday. Everything went well. I remember moving onto the operating table and asking them if they had already given me something. He said yes. The next thing I knew it I was back in my room very tired and my body felt so heavy. You would think as a nurse this whole experience wouldn't be that scary or new but it was. Other than getting my tonsils out when I was 2 and my wisdom teeth out when I was 16 or so, this was my first true experience with surgery. Kinda weird to be on the other end. The good news is that I don't have any endometriosis and everything else looked great in there. He could even tell I had just ovulated. Weird. The bad news is that we are finally facing the fact that In Vitro is going to be our last chance of having a family. I was worried that maybe I had endometriosis because we have been trying to get pregnant for over 3 years now with no luck and my mom and my grandma both had it. At least we know now. I just wish there was a better way to diagnose it other than surgery. It's kinda expensive and I don't really like my scar :( Oh well. Life goes on right?

I'm glad you don't have endometriosis, but not glad what that means for you. I hope things work out for you & Luke & soon. Hang in there.
HI! :)This is Jessica...from WAY back when at Dixie. I stumbled across your blog a while ago and figured I would comment...especially when it was referring to all of this stuff. It's hard to explain how hard infertility is to deal with to anyone who hasn't dealt with and it's always nice to know you aren't alone. I was diagnosed with endometriosis about 4 years ago. Thankfully we were blessed with our little girl, after trying for 2 years. Here's a little more about her story http://thestahelis.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-wish_15.html
And we have now been trying again for over a year.
It's incredibly tough...and I'm sorry that you are going through it. I wish you all the luck in your en devour to have children. You guys will be great parents!
Bobbi all I want to say is I LOVE YOU!!!! keep your head up!
I'm glad that everything is ok with your health! Hang in there!! You're in our prayers!
Hey Bobbi- I am so sorry to hear about you trying to have a baby. It can be really tough- and I hope things work out for you. I'm glad you don't have endometriosis though- and hopefully everything will work out well. One thing that may help is progesterone creme- I know you have probably tried everything- but honestly, you never know:). You can even get it at GNC, I guess anything is worth a try- best of luck and know that we are thinking about you.
I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this, so hard and frustrating! You guys are in our prayers! It seems like yesterday we were just sitting in class together talking about when we both wanted to have kids! Miss you guys so much, we need to do lunch, want to? Hang in there my friend!
Well I guess this is good and bad news. It just sucks that this happens for so many people who want to have kids yet there are all these "accidents." It doesn't make sense! But I guess there is a reason for everything. Maybe your little one just isn't ready to come down yet??? Who knows why things happen the way they do. I know what you mean about surgery...it is kinda scary! I know you guys will get a little one, one way or another, so just try to enjoy the time you have together!
I also have to say I totally missed your Easter post. Congrats to Bryce! Who is the girl? She is way cute. I'm glad he is finally settling down! :) And I am DYING over Austin. He is so old! He looks JUST like Bryce too. Glad your fam is doing good.
Call me sometime when you are down so we can go to lunch or something. I might be up in Cedar later this week for a meeting so I will call you if we are. Love ya!
glad everything went well and that things look good... when are you going to look into invitro? Soo sorry you have to go through this.. i think about you everyday.. seriously. Life is interesting..
And congrats to bryce.. he is such a cute kid! Thats really exciting. When does brandon come home? soon isnt it? Love you girl.. hang in there!
I know it will all work out, but what a serious struggle....I truly hope for all the best. I am glad you are getting answers, and please fill us in. Just think of how TRULY EXCATIC you will be once you do get pregnant. Lots of love
hello:) i am glad you are doin ok! i am so sorry that you have to go threw so much to have a baby. i guess it doesn't matter how they get here, just that they do! good luck!
Bobbi, that sucks! I'm sorry about your surgery and about everything else! Is your favorite hospital supply blue chux now too?! Miss hanging out with you guys! Love ya!
Em
Just wanted to say that I'm sorry you are having to go through all of this.
Thanks! Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about your surgery but glad to know you don't have endometriosis. Don't get too discouraged, it will all work out in time...I swear it happens when you least expect it! For now just enjoy your time with your hubby & sleep in while you can : )
I'm sure your parents will be able to be in the same room together eventually especially once you have kids. I know it took my parents quite awhile to get to that point! I'm still taking a couple pre-reqs for nursing and am applying in January so we'll see what happens.
Keep in touch! xoxo
You guys are awesome and we wish you the best!!! thats great you don't have endometriosis....You guys will be the best parents ( I know cuz Shelby already thinks you are!!)
Hey,
I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations. Glad to hear you don't have endo though.
I'm sure they've checked your blood and stuff but maybe it could be a progesterone lack or something else they haven't checked yet??? We'll keep ya in our prayers. It will work out somehow. :)Keep your chin up.
you are in our prayers and we are glad to hear that the surgery went well! I am so sorry that you are having to go through this and want you to know that we love you and are thinking of you both!
