Doctor's Orders

Last week, I went in for my two week check-up from my surgery and to get my results. There wasn't too much endometriosis, thankfully, but I did have cysts on both my ovaries. They have a specific name, but I don't remember what it was. They are caused from eggs that are released but don't continue down the fallopian tubes. Instead they attach themselves to the ovaries. So what they had to do was drain them with some special tool. They were able to take care of all the endometriosis and the cysts!!

I have two options for "treatment." The first is to do a shot called Lupron Depot. What this does is put my body into menopause to decrease estrogen levels so the endometriosis won't come back so quickly. The doctor believes that would be the only benefit for me. The second, which he feels is the best option, is to start trying for baby number two. We discussed it, and feel this is the best option for us too. So we plan on starting to try soon!!

I know it is in God's hands now. I'm just so thankful that my fertility wasn't affected by this and that we will have the chance to have another baby!!

Until next time...
