Surgery

Wednesday I underwent a hysterscopy to remove a polyp. The surgery went well and the polyp was removed. It was large enough to require the RE to cut it in half to get rid of the polyp and I now have a balloon catheter in my uterus until Monday. The RE spoke to J after the surgery while I was sleeping off the anesthesia in recovery. He told him he definitely felt like this polyp was having an adverse affect on conceiving. Basically the polyp was pushing/hanging down from the top of my uterus and essentially blocking my tubes. Now the HSG or dye test did not show a typical blockage in my tubes and the dye spilled over as it should. However, the polyp was preventing the egg from leaving the tube and adhering to the wall of my uterus. So we pray this is our last obstacle but who knows. I will find out more information on Monday.

The pain was more unbearable than the D&C of June and I ended up taking the additional 2 days of rest as recommended by the doctor. My stubborn ass went to work on Thursday but left after a couple of hours. The pain meds really helped this time.
