As the title of this blog says, WOW, I can't believe it's already been a week since my surgery! This time last week, I was sitting in the ER waiting room just waiting for them to call me back to get prepped for surgery. This last week went fast...of course the fact that I slept through a lot of it probably contributes to the fast-forward in time!
I haven't posted in a few days but no news is good news, right? In this case, YES it is! I've been spending the last few days resting, reading (devoured Dan Brown's latest in less than a day), and walking with pup to loosen up the joints after resting so much. I'm feeling quite a bit better now. My 3 puncture marks - one inside the lower portion of my belly button, one on the lower-left side of my pelvis (conveniently right where all of the bands on my underwear seem to sit, ugh), and one right above the pubic bone - are healing well and I'm able to wear my regular clothes now without wincing, YIPPEE!!
I think my brain is still trying to grasp the fact that we absolutely cannot get pregnant without IVF. It's just such a weird feeling and I think it's going to take some time to absorb. Especially after the last 2 years of tracking cycle days and "trying" all of the things I listed in a previous post - now there's no more watching for ovulation time, no more suspenseful 2WWs to see if we got a BFP (well, except when we do an IVF cycle.) It just feels weird and well, sad. I try to look at the silver lining - for instance, once we're done building our family we won't ever have to worry about birth control. Or that I'll never have to worry again about a pregnancy getting stuck in my tubes. Those are both good things, right?
Well, I'll be back on Wednesday to report on my follow-up appointment with the RE and hopefully have some information on our plans for IVF. Until then, I'm going to appreciate the fact that I'm feeling pretty damn good compared to this same time last Monday!
