Ok so back on the bus….. and some more blogging time.
So I did not have a drink that night but I did have a valium. When I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer my doc gave me a perscription and I have a few left- so I take them in emergencys….. and well I will say that this constituted as an emergency for sure!
So I end up going in the following week to meet with Dr. L. He tells me that the septum was “massive”, and he really does not believe it was scar tissue- that it resected nicley and he really thinks this should solve the problem. We made a plan to go back in for an ultrasound right after my next period so he can check how I look. He said that the progesterone would bring on my period. But of course, I defy all the odds and get my period the very next day. A very heavy, very painful period. I checked the calendar and it is right on schedule. I call Dr. L and he was actually a little surprised cause I guess I wasnt supposed to get it with the estrogen therapy??? I dont know but he said the reason it was so heavy was because 1) the estrogen builds up the lining and 2) there is more room in my uterus!! Gosh I hope that last point is true!!
So he said to keep taking the hormones as perscribed and call him on Day 1 of my next period to schedule an ultrasound the following week. Yesterday was Day 1 so my appt is next wednesday. I also have an endocrinologist appt for that same day later on in the afternoon (thyroid cancer followup)- so big day for me- say a prayer!!
We have decided to try on our own for one month and then after that cycle go for IUI with injectables for one month and then straight to IVF. Anyone have any feelings on this plan?? I would like to hear. Seriously.
Blog u later.
Goodness!!! What an eventful time you’ve been having!!
I think that your IUI then IVF is a very good plan babe. I’d be asking what the chances are of the IUI working though, and weigh that up against just going straight to IVF. But I guess it all depends on how quickly you want things to happen.

First of all, the IUI and IVF is a good plan, at least you know where to turn and your not just left waiting and wondering from month to month. Secondly, heavy period because there is more room in the uterus, yikes just when I thought they didn’t get any heaver for me! O well, we both need more room in our uterus:) Thanks for the tip on the estrogen, cuz I am on it too post op, so I won’t wonder why my period is either absent or very heavy.
Take care of yourself!
I think it’s a great plan. I believe you said that you have some coverage too right? You’ve gone through so much and waited a long time to get to this place so I think you should go for it.
Good luck with your thyca appt. too!
