Feeling A Little Lighter

...about one ounce lighter! I don't really know how much my fallopian tube weighed, but it's gone and I don't miss it at all!

I went in for my surgery last Friday. I must have been more nervous than I realized because my heartbeat was 110 as I laid there waiting. Getting my IV didn't help me calm down. I can't stand needles and of course the first attempt to put my IV in didn't work. After I was all set, my husband came back to keep me company.

It seemed like everyone wanted to be part of my surgery - my old gynecologist came, the doctor who did my HSG, the resident who did my pre-op tests, and all kinds of other people. I had 3 surgeons and about 10 other people participating in the surgery.

They rolled me into the operating room and I really don't remember much else until I woke up in recovery. In recovery, I was sleepy, but overall I was feeling ok.

I have a non-functioning rudimentary horn with a fallopian tube attached. No endomitriosis. And according to my RE, I have beautiful ovaries! So my right tube with the hydrosalpinx is gone, and the rudimentary horn and left tube were left in place - even though they're useless, they're not hurting anything either.

Overall I'm feeling good now. In March I will go back to my RE to get everything set for IVF! Can't wait!

I ordered some fiction books about infertility yesterday. I can't wait to read them. They better have happy endings! I also bought my first baby item today! I got a green onesie that says snuggle saurus and has a cute little dinosaur on it! l only paid $1.00 for it!

I was looking into infertility insurance from state to state, just out of curiosity, and found this site really interesting.

I live in North Carolina, and they have no mandated coverage, which is rather bunk! Luckily, we have Texas insurance so we do have some coverage. If I did not have these fallopian tube issues we would have had to wait 5 years for IVF coverage...out of control.

I will update again after I meet with my RE to get all my IVF stuff set.
