The surgery went well for the most part. Fibroids are out.
When I awoke though, it was from a nurse who I'm pretty sure was just trying to get me out of the bed. She wouldn't listen to me that I was in a lot of pain about 20 minutes after I woke up. I won't go through all the horrible details, but let's just say that she wasn't listening to me. So when I got home I was so out of it. After about 4 hours of constant pain, dh knew something wasn't right and called the dr who wanted me to come in right away.
I didn't know it at the time, but I'd had a D & C, and they inserted a balloon filled with saline to keep the uterus walls from scarring and collapsing in and healing closed. But the dr said they may have inflated the balloon more than my body could take and that was causing all the pain. So he let out some and I'm able to function, but still pretty uncomfortable.
My meds are wearing off, so I'm able to read and type, but they make me pretty dizzy and drowsy and I'll be needing them again soon. So sorry if i'm a little incoherent!
Now for the good news, my RE came out and told my husband that while all did go well, she said that at mid-cycle (around ovulation) my uterus was very white, too white. She said that when she performs this, usually there's lots of bleeding because you have to scrape the walls of the uterus and she said there was hardly any blood in mine. So she was pretty sure that this could be the cause of all my m/c's and that if my uterus isn't getting proper blood flow to it, there's no way it would support a pregnancy. She said she needs to do some research, but that maybe some acupuncture and viagra would be a possible course of treatment.
Now if my surgery hadn't been delayed, she would never have noticed the discoloration being an issue. So all things happen for a reason. I'll find out more next week when I go in and get this balloon removed. But I can tell you when dh told me that I started crying. To go this long without hope or answer has been very painful these past 2 years.
Whew! I need to go, but thank you so much to all my friends!! Your constant support gives me so much strength!

I mailed you my thoughts earlier, but want to reiterate that I am so glad you postponed the surgery! I am still floored by this news! and so happy they discovered this! I know these last couple of years have been incredibly painful, but I am praying that this is the ticket! I did speak to my accupuncturist about this and she really thinks you need to start accupuncture asap. She also thought the viagra was a great idea. She was also not sure about the Lovenox. She is not sure if taking blood thinners will be helpful, but definitely check with your doctor about that. All in all, I think this surgery was worth it, although there was a lot of pain involved. You have been so strong and patient, I am so proud of you. You deserve this more that anything. You are such an incredible friend, I know you will be an incredible mother. I have faith this will work out for you! I know it!

So you had some complications. Glad they finally listened and fixed the problem. Thats great news about the blood flow. Maybe just maybe this could finally be your answer. I'll keep my fingers crossed. To think if the surgery wasnt delayed they would have never found that. Thinking of you. Hugs Monica.
