The good news and the bad news.

Yesterday I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy surgery. Luckily they only had to make a cut in my belly button so no new scars.

The good news is the doctor did not find any endometriosis, or fibroids...my tubes are clear.

Meaning our only diagnosed fertility issues are my lack of ovulation and hostile cervical fluid, which can be taken care of with fertility medication, IUI, and God's miraculous timing.

The bad news is the doctor did confirm I have polycystic ovaries...which means I do in fact have polyscystic ovarian syndrome.

The other bad news is we still don't know why I've been having so much pain.

Right now my tummy hurts. I'm taking lots of pain medication. I don't know how you ladies with c-sections have done this...I just have a little incision and I'm moaning and groaning. My tummy hurts!!!! My ovaries hurt! The gas they injected in me to seperate my organs for surgery hurts. I haven't taken a shower in two days... I can finally take one tonight!!!!

More about the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome... (PCOS)

It is a gynetic dis-order if your mother or sister had it you likely have it...
Most women produce one healthy strong egg each cycle and release it at ovulation...women with polycystic ovarian syndrome produce alot of small puny eggs that never get big enough to ovulate...they turn into little cysts when ovulation does not occur creating more testostorene hindering future ovulation...a vicious cycle... it makes it difficult to lose weight, puts women who have it at an increased risk for diabetes, heart attack, infertility, miscarriage etc...

Some of the symptoms decrease with weight loss...but it is more difficult to lose weight with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and there is no gurantee the symptoms will decrease with weight loss. There are plenty of skinny women that have PCOS as well.

Whenever I get a job again Jeremy and I plan on pursuing IUI...or if a creative fundraising idea strikes us...we suddenly come into money etc... Since I need fertility medication a cycle of IUI for us costs $800. Pray that God provides a miracle baby or two or three for our family, and right now for healing for my owie tummy. Praise God that our fertility issues are small compared to many women, and for God's greater purpose in our life.
