I wasn't planning on writing on my blog tonight but the longer I sit here and the more research aka googling I do on ovulation the more excited and scared I get. I went out last week after my Dr. appointment and bought the two month supply of ovulation testing sticks and I got the good ones with the digital display. I wasn't expecting to ovulate after all the trama from the surgery but something told me go ahead and see. Sure enough I am ovulating this week and I have been having ovulation pains. I thought I was losing my mind I am so hopeful and scared right now every little twinge in my ovary area is making me nervous. Then tonight I started to bleed. Not blood gushing but spotting. I started to freak out got a bit nervous and thought OH CRAP I need to call the Dr.
Luckily there are lots of great sites for women like me who freak out over everything. Apparently my bleeding is caused by the egg being released from the follicle and the contraction caused by the follipian tubes moving the egg. I have never had this happen before EVER. I have never had ovulation pain or bleeding this is all new to me and because pain and cramping is involved I thought I was about to start my period. But I knew that wasn't happening it couldn't be not with all the work I just had done to me. I am worried, scared, but hopeful that we can do this naturally. Keep praying everybody it takes two weeks for the egg to do its thing. Keep praying it can go where it needs to be and not in my tube. Pray for my peace of mind and not to stress out over this. So many great things are happening but I am too busy worrying about what I have no control over. I thank you all for reading until the next update love ya.

The journey just got a little longer.......
First off what a day it started at 3 am and ended at 4 pm. I am wore out but I have a new hope and did I mention I love my Dr. He is awesome very compassionate and just awesome. Chris got to come with me and talk with him too today and he asked questions I wouldn't have thought to ask. Of course I forgot some questions but hopefully I can google them later on tonight when I remember them. First off I do indeed have stage 3 endometriosis. Most women who have it this bad get hysterectomy. I am of course not ready to have my female parts taken out even if they are all scared up. My one tube is open for how long I don't know. Even Dr. Ramie couldn't tell me a definate. Endometriosis keeps growing every time you have a period it builds back. So I may only have one month but this doesn't mean I am throwing in the towel just yet. Heck no I have come this far this journey is no where close to being done. It is just starting.
I have one month to make a baby naturally then I get to see reproductive endocrinologist in Gulf Breeze. I think his name was Dr. Ocello? Dr. Ramie recommends their practice they have a main lab in Mobile Alabama. I am excited, scared, and I feel like a kid on Christmas right now. I am also emotional. I found out why I kept bleeding after the surgery Dr. Ramie reset my period. I didn't think you could do that but with all the stuff he removed that's exactly what happened. So I get to start trying to make a baby a week earlier than planned.
The down side to trying naturally is with all the scaring on my one tube I run a 50% chance of having an ectopic pregnancy. So Dr. Ramie wants to see me immediately in five weeks to do a test to check hormone levels if they go up or down which ones I can't remember it means that the egg has implanted in the tube they can stop the pregnancy before it becomes a serious problem and requires emergency surgery. That kind of bummed me out and scared me a bit. He also told me if I go the IVF route which is a safer bet I still run the risk of the egg going up into the tubes and implanting. Most fertility Dr. will tie off the tubes to stop this from occuring. That really bummed me out. That would mean the only way I could have kids is IVF PERIOD! I will have all my questions answered October 2. I plan on making a day of it and visiting family in Gulf Breeze. Hopefully I can get the time off of work to do this things are a bit crazy right now.
Please pray for a natural born child IVF is a tough decision. I don't believe in abortion or selective anything a baby is a baby and I couldn't choose which one to use. It's all or nothing I have read a bit on it and talking with this Dr. I pray will put my mind and Chris's mind at ease. Medical science has come a long way in twenty years. So I guess I should get off this computer now and go and make some babies LOL okay sorry TMI but that's what Dr. Ramie said for me to do of course he said the car was a good place to start LOL I about died laughing talk about awkward LOL. Thank you for your continued prayers and support I love you all so much. Will keep ya updated. :)

TMI guys!!!!!
What a day what a week! I feel okay but not really. I will warn all my male readers now I am sharing female stuff. You have been warned!!!!!!!
Okay let me start over. Okay so Tuesday last week was my surgery. I was nervous but not really. I got decent sleep and woke up at four a.m. I read my devotional and had time with God. I kept reading my memory verse over and over. My faith was wavering had been for the last two months as I waited for my surgery. I knew I had people praying for me but reading God's word that morning was the kick I needed. I even read it to Chris that morning he got a different meaning from it but I love discussing the bible with him he teaches me lots I love him for that. The verse that I read was Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Well I do in fact have stage three endometriosis. My tubes were in fact blocked and one is so scared it wouldn't open. The other barely opened. I also had a golf ball sized polyp in my uterus which is still causing me pain and bleeding and to make matters worse my actual period is going to start Saturday. I have been bleeding over a week. So I have issues. They are bad issues but this doesn't mean I can't possibly have children. I will Tuesday find out our next plan of action with Dr. Ramie. I am hoping Chris can come with me. He is better at remembering questions that need to be asked. I want to thank my church family especially thank you for the dinners last week it helped us out so much. If Chris cooked I would've had ramen noodles. He doesn't cook. Keep praying for me I have gotten some answers but still need more. This journey is just beginning. Thanks for reading love you all.
