Everything is so lovely: )

So my last update was about my first appointment with our new specialist! At that appointment they did some fun things to my lady parts and we decided our first approach was to start a round of clomid. I finished them last wednesday! We had also set up an appointment for a hysterosalpingogram, which pretty much means we're going to shove a balloon in your cervix and then push radioactive dye in your lady bits to make sure everything flowed correctly and did was it was supposed to do. I can not even tell you how stressed out about that appointment I was. Seriously. I could bearly sleep, eat, or function. I knew that nothing was going to be wrong, but my mind wouldn't let me actually believe that. I'm not kidding when I say, I was pretty sure they were going to find one of three things: 1. That I was a hermaphrodite (not in a realistic, literal sense- more of like they were going to find that I had two penis' where my fallopian tubes should be.. Ask Jeff, this was my main concern for WEEKS). 2. That I was born without fallopian tubes, and 3. They weren't going to be connected to anything. 


So yesterday was the big day. It was slightly uncomfortable. I cried for like 20 minutes before the test to the nurse about why I was so nervous about it. I say this a lot in real life, but the ENTIRE staff at this place is FANTASTIC. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, happy, and taken care of! The wonderful nurse that was with me yesterday listened to me cry about possibly have penis' instead of fallopian tubes (which she informed me was highly unlikely), and that my worst fear was getting bad news that would mean putting pregnancy out of our reach to save up thousands of dollars for a few rounds of IVF. As she looked over my chart again, she asked me why I thought that anything could be wrong when there is nothing to indicate any complications in my health or family history; and then, this woman, whom I had never met before, nailed it right on the head: "You've been googling haven't you?" This woman saw right into my soul. 


People say this all the time, my husband to me especially, DON'T GOOGLE ANYTHING. After this, I honestly think I will stop. 


The end result: Everything is perfectly normal!
I feel like I can breathe! I feel amazingly fantastic! I feel alive again! I feel like I want to go running! AND I HATE RUNNING! THAT'S HOW AMAZING I FEEL!


Also! To add to a little more good news! That same morning, I had my post clomid appintment, to which they saw I have two promising follicles in the making, but they are not as big as they want them to be, so we're playing the waiting game, I go back on monday too see how much they've grown! Wish me luck!!!


And also, I would like to thank my wonderful family and friends for not murdering me from the texts I sent them about how much anxiety I was having! I'd also like to especially thank my husband for not shipping me off to Canada: ) He's been amazing! You all have been amazing!

  2. the fact you have huge tits should have been your first clue that you dont have penis' instead of ovaries/tubes.
