Well, here I am, over 3 years later after we first started TTC, and still no baby. It's kind of hard to believe but nope, it's true. It's so weird and totally not how I envisioned my life.
Well anyways, I wanted to update my TTC life. I went to the OB/GYN for my yearly well women's appt last week and talked to my doc about what we should do next. She told me that my hubs sperm is actually normal and they had a meeting with a "sperm" doctor and found out new findings of what "healthy" sperm is and what not. So we can cross that off the list, thank god. Also, she wants me to get an MRI of my uterus to get a final answer if it's a bicornuate uterus or a septate uterus. She also wants me to get an ultrasound done for my kidneys. She told me that if the uterus is shaped differently that sometimes the kidneys are too. So, I need to get those scheduled and find out the results from that. If its a bicornuate like I thought from last year, then we start IUI treatment. It's not going to be covered most likely since it is infertility treatments. They will do it 3 times and if we arent' pregnant after the 3rd time, then the doc will refer me to a fertility specialist and go from there. She did let me know the risks of having BU and the possibility of miscarriage goes way up. Yippee. If my uterus is a septate uterus, then I will need to have the septum ressection surgery and then start IUI treatments. I know it sounds bad, but I'm kinda hoping its a septate uterus because if I did get pregnant, it wouldn't be a higher percentage of having a miscarriage because it would be like a normal uterus. But I just have this feeling that it's bicornuate. I don't know....
So, as of right now, I just need to get the MRI and ultrasound done and find out the results from that and go from there. Hubs and I decided that if we do the IUI treatments and don't get pregnant from that, then that's it for ttc. We will then move on to adoption. I don't want to go through IVF and spend so much money on it. But, I'm jumping ahead as usual, so first things first.
I can't believe I'll be 31 years old in 3 months and still not a Mom. Ho hum....
Until next time,
Megan xoxo
