Hi - You are right, it has been two weeks and my pain sorta comes and goes. I was told to not do any housework and to just sit in my recliner. I am not too crazy about sitting still - a bit of a type A personality - and it is hard to be away from work for such a long time (six weeks total) - I am a teacher. I have read lots of books, watched good movies, and learned to crochet. I have had lots of visitors which is great, too.

We have been ttc for one year. When I was referred to the fertility clinic, we found that I had two fibroids and they needed to be removed through an abdominal myomectomy. My FSH is rather high, which means my egg production is low. We are just hopeful that with hormone injections and IUI, we will be able to conceive. We can start the next step in March, which isn't that far away considering 12 months of disappointment, you know?

Were both of your pregnancies (with your beautiful boys - what a great photo) rather 'normal'? Did you need to go on bedrest prior to giving birth? Did you have a c section for your surgery and for your births?

Thanks for replying - as helpful as my DH is - having someone out there who has gone through a similar situation is helpful. Tomorrow is my first preop appt, hopefully I am progressing as they had hoped.
