Can you believe it is already Fall? Hello - where does the time go? I am not doing my SPT today, mainly because I have no way of taking a self portrait right now and because life is getting busy-wait - is staying busy! The is my 2nd week with Craig out of town on business - he leaves for three days and than is home for the rest of the week. Not a big deal, but as I've mentioned before - I don't get as much sleep when he is traveling!
Fertility Check-up
I haven't spoken about my infertility appointments since my last IUI in Janurary of 2008. It is very disappointing to not succeed and I simply gave it up until July of this year. I was heading down to Vermont for my appointments. It was taxing on our family to drive two hours for each apointment. A friend directed me to a clinic here in Montreal where I have switched my records too. They are just wonderful and I am already feeling good about this clinic.
They did my blood work-up and egg reserve test and all is evidence that there isn't any reason that I shouldn't be getting pregnant. They did a sonohystriogram two weeks ago to test my tubes and look inside my uterus. They found polyps (again) attached to the most easily fertilized spot inside my uterus. In other words, this could be the reason for the IUI's not working. I am waiting for final confirmation, but I will be having a Hystroscopy, most likely October 2nd. This procedure requires no cutting, but they do "put you under" and either scrape or cut out the polyp using a scope. It's all still quite invasive, but maybe the third time is a charm! I had this same procedure done in 1999 and 2001.
Recovery should be quick, most likely sore for a couple days, but this isn't a major surgery. I am very hopeful that things will work out positively and soon we will be celebrating! I'll keep you updated on the surgery date and progress afterwards.

Oh Michelle that sounds so very hopeful. I will be remembering you in my prayers, and if you do have a new baby, I promise to sew up something beautiful just for you.
Well for you, but technically, I guess for the baby.
Sending tons of love your way!
Good luck Michelle! This procedure sounds promising and I am praying for to have another little one soon!
I wish you the best Michelle. I'm glad you have a place to go to get answers and be taken care of sometimes that is one of the hardest parts. I will keep you in my prayers.
Good luck, friend. I'll send some prayers your way. You are a brave one.
That is so interesting. Good luck with everything.
Hopefully not having to drive so far to the clinic will save a few of your nerves and give you the little extra boost you need. I'll be thinking about you on the 2nd...
You are brave and inspirational. I am rooting for you.
Best of luck!
I've been thinking about you and your desire to grow your family lately and wondered how things were. I am happy to hear you have found a clinic closer by that you are comfortable with and that they have you on the road for some treatment. Best of luck. You are a wonderful mother.
I hope all goes well! Fingers crossed and thumbs tucked!
