We went on our honeymoon and started TTC with the hope of having a "honeymoon baby" (heard the term honeymoon baby on one of the many blogs I've read in the past couple of days).
I've always suffered from very painful periods. Allow me to describe how painful! I've had plastic surgeries before lipo and breast reduction; and those never hurt. I never drank not even a tylenol, I can tolerate that pain, but my menstrual cramps are unbearable. I can't even walk straight. Anyways doctors would just say it was normal and I had no choice but to move on.
On one of my check ups they discovered a 4cm fibroid on my uterus, but doctor said it wouldn't bother me so I didn't have to take it out. Just to monitor it's size each year with an ultrasound.
When hubby and I tried to get pregnant for a couple of months with no results I started to worry. I visited doctors and they would just say: Enjoy your marriage, why do you want to get pregnant so soon, know each other more and enjoy your life while you can, when kids come along your life ends. I didn't need to know my DH more! We've been together for 4 years then, so I can say we know each other very well and we enjoyed our life as a couple, now we wanted to start our family!
So I went thru many doctors! finally back in March 2009 one decided to see what was wrong, she said I should be trying for a year before I could worry, but I wanted to know right away if something was wrong with me. I had blood tests and everything was normal. Then she ordered I have a hysterosalpingogram Gezz what a word! Basically is "an X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them. During a hysterosalpingogram, a dye (contrast material) is put through a thin tube that is put through the vagina and into the uterus. Because the uterus and the fallopian tubes are hooked together, the dye will flow into the fallopian tubes." At the end I was told my left fallopian tube was blocked. I freaked out, but the DR said I would still be able to get pregnant with only one tube. I had an ultrasound that showed my uterine fibroid had grown, It was now 6cm. She said that it was Ok to come back in July if I was not pregnant yet. I was not convinced so in May 2009 went to another DR in Boston. He said It would be best if I take the fibroid out with a laparoscopy and that way they could also see if I had endometriosis, he said it could be a possibility and the answer to my fertility problems. He did suggest I should just wait until september if I could get pregnant, if not go ahead with the laparoscopy.
I came back to Miami tried for two months with no BFP, so I just went straight to a Fertility DR. He did an ultrasound and now my fibroid was 9.5 cm he said I should just do the Laparoscopy to remove the fibroid and to rule out endometriosis. I had to wait for a month before I could have the procedure done.
The surgery lasted less than 15 minutes. The doctor went in and couldn't do anything because of the severe adhesions inside due in fact to endometriosis. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis. Three days later I had a myomectomy to remove adhesions and the fibroid. He took out a 10 cm fibroid the size of a new born's head! During my post operative consult he suggested I try for 6 months getting pregnant naturally if not then try IVF before the endometriosis gets worst.
We tried for 3 months and just decided not to risk it and continue with the IVF, my periods are actually getting more painful.
So My IVF process is about to start in January, after I got my period my cramps didn't go away. I went to the DR again, he was on vacation so another DR in the practice saw me, he did an ultrasound and found 2 cysts one on each ovary. He suggested I wait till they disappear to start my IVF process. I was devastated!!! what more could go wrong!!! I had my consult schedule with the nurse for the next week to make the payment, get my calendar and explanation of the process. He suggested I see my doctor before doing to consult. That week was horrible, I thought my dream of being a mother was about to end. A week later I saw my doctor he said we should continue with IVF, we cant wait till my cysts disappear because my endo will get worst in the meantime! So I met with the nurse and a week later received a box with all the shots I need to take. Let me tell you! It's a big box!!

| They were kind enough to send us a book to read so Hubby and I don't kill each other in the process |
Right now I'm on the BCP until sunday. I have an appointment on Tuesday for blood test and ultrasound. And the next day our shots begin.
We're getting a more detailed calendar on Tuesday but for now They told us this:
January 26 Shots beging
February 6 Possible retrieval
February 11 Possible Transfer
February 14 Possible Transfer ( Yesterday while reading a blog I learned that a 5 day transfer is better than a 3 day transfer, is more likely that if the embryos make it to day 5 they will most certainly turn into a pregnancy! So now I'm hoping for a 5 day transfer.
Sorry for the long post, promise future ones wont be as long I just wanted to summarize where I started and where I am now in just one post.
