SIS procedure was not bad at all. Even if it was bad, I had no choice but to go back work. I have too much stuff to do today. My doctor was on vacation, so the other doctor had to perform the procedure. So far, I have met three out of four doctors at this place. I guess they all seem to be nice and I like them.
My guard was definitely up. When the nurse told me "it's gonna be OK. This one will not hurt." I was like "Ha! That's what I was told last time, and it was a lie." She reassured me it was going to be fine. Apparently, I didn't believe her, because when the doctor came and tried to put the speculum, I was so tense, I was pushing the speculum out. He was trying to make some small talk, but I really could not relax.
When he inserted the catheter and took the speculum out, I was finally able to relax. Then he told me that he saw a polyp in my uterus. WHAT???? He said my doctor would talk to me what to do about it. Well, I guess if he was telling me so nonchalantly, it must not be that big deal. It looks like we have to finish all of the tests before we can have a sit down and discuss our options with the doctor. Tim and I were planning on trying really hard this week and postpone his sperm sample drop off day until next week, but now screw that plan. Forget this month, it ain't happening. We must lose a battle to win the war. We should abstain for a few days so he can bring them his guys in a few days. I want to know the diagnosis ASAP.
According to my research, polyps could act like a natural IUD and prevent sperm/egg to pass through the Fallopian tubes or prevent fertilized egg from implanting. Maybe this could be my answer. It could be just the beginning, but as of right now, I want to be optimistic.
Hi! I'm your first visitor and follower :) I am so glad that you have a possible answer now regarding your infertility. It's always easier to treat infertility when you know what the problem is, so this is a good thing. I have a good feeling that once you get that sucker removed, only good things can come from this. I'll be praying Tim's semen analysis is normal.
ReplyDeleteHi Hope! Welcome. Please be patient with the way I write sometimes. Since English is my second language, I mess up without really knowing. Hey, writing this blog would probably help me improve my writing skills. I hope removing the polyp will do the trick. Tim had high amount of abnormal ones last time, so I hope that's not going to be the case this time.
ReplyDeleteNo worries! You write very well - I had not noticed at all, really :) You are right, writing would probably help you with your English. What were his test results / numbers from the semen analysis today? My husband suffers from male infertility so I know how hard it can be.
DeleteWe won't know his count until Wednesday. I guess my doctor will not be in until then to take a look. Now Time was not happy, because insisted him to do it on Friday and he had to clear off some important meetings to do it. Had I known this, he could have done it on Monday. His count was something like 5 times more than normal and motility of them were good as well, but 69% of them were abnormal shape kind, which was not good. :( I wonder if having so many of them will make up for having these messed up ones??
