Weigh In Wednesday

So I wanted to start this two weeks ago but I never got around to it. As you may know, I’m trying to lose some weight, not only to get healthier, but also to give my lazy reproductive system a kick in the rear.

I’ll list my change in poundage from the previous week and state my current weight. Hopefully, the pounds will come off and if they’re not, I better be pregnant.

Anyways, three weeks ago, I was at my all time high of 242 pounds (according to the doctor’s scale). So I will use that as a starting point for my weight loss.

Current Weight: 234

Difference: -8 lbs

I’ve been going to the gym regularly and walking on the treadmill at least 3 hours a week. I was very surprised that I put on 2 lbs over Thanksgiving but then lost 4 right away. That and getting my hormonal levels in order really helped.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

My Ugly Uterus

I usually go to an ultrasound appointment thinking worst case scenario. I have cancer or a cyst that’s so large and stuck they’ll have to do a hysterectomy. Usually, nothing abnormal is found.

Yesterday, I had the attitude that everything would be fine. I had my ultrasound and the tech wasn’t measuring a bunch of stuff (measuring a lot is a bad sign) so I was feeling pretty hopeful when I went in to see Dr. G.

I was so wrong. He said it looked like I had some polyps, scar tissue and a rough endometrium.

I almost forgot the good news. I released two eggs. Fat lot of good it does because I am scheduled for a hysteroscopy and D&C on Monday.

So in a nutshell, I have an ugly uterus. And of the few times I have actually ovulated in my life, it doesn’t matter because if we did conceive, that little baby’s gonna be swept out of there before it can even hang pictures on the wall.

Then, to make an even crappier day worse, K and I got into a fight when we got home because we can’t afford this on top of our already monstrous medical bills. Lovely.

Thanksgiving

Like I’ve said before, K and I started trying to get pregnant six months after we started dating. This is our fifth holiday season since we started trying.

This was the first Thanksgiving since then that I haven’t had such a focus on the fact that we are still babyless. I was just grateful that I had K in my life and that we had the boys in our lives.

I would tell you how Thanksgiving actually went but it was crappy and I don’t want to talk about it.

I hope your holiday went well and that you were grateful for the truly important things in your life.

BTW, I’m off to my ultrasound today. I know it will show normal ovaries and maybe that I even ovulated. I had some weird crampiness on one side that suddenly went away last night. Don’t want to get my hopes up though. But combine that with fertile cervical mucus and my hopes couldn’t help but rise.

Also, my girlfriend (the one with twins from IVF) found out Friday that she’s pregnant after a frozen embryo transfer. Yay! (Maybe we’ll be pregnant together.)

Have a great Monday!
