Default Went to the Doctor Today

Had my staples removed, and was told everything looks good. I asked about an HSG, but he doesn't think we need to do one unless I am still TTC in a year with no success. I was released to go back to work at the end of the month (just in time for New Year's Eve - I'd rather be working than sitting at home since DD will be in Chicago on reserve anyway).

He says we can start TTC after I've had one regular cycle, which he says could take several months. I will have some scarring he says, because he did have to cut a slit in the tube, and he cauterized a few blood vessels, but he made the incision on the back side of the tube, away from the majority of the blood vessels so as to minimize the scarring. He wants me to be diligent about taking a HPT each month once we start so that we can keep an eye on the numbers from as early on as possible, but he seems confident that I shouldn't have any more problems. I'm just praying he's right.

This whole thing was actually my first experience with this Dr., since we just recently moved to the area where we are living. He is so kind and compassionate, I feel lucky to have found him. I have another follow-up visit in a month. In the meantime, I'm just to be careful about heavy lifting at work. I guess the busboys will have to act as barbacks for me for a few weeks.

Sounds like a good appointment. I'm glad you found such a great Dr. I chose the Dr. who treated my Ectopic to treat my infertlity issues one year later. I also had never met him before that night in ther ER w/ my ep b/c we had only lived in this city a short time. It is such a great thing to have a compassionate helpful Dr. when you go through something like this.

Take it easy and enjoy the hollidays. I'll be thinking about you

I'm glad you got some answers at your appt. and that you found such a great doc. I ended up staying with the doc who was on call and doing rounds the weekend I was in the hospital. He wasn't my reg. doc, wasn't the surgeon who "fixed" me, but ended up being the kindest, most compassionate doc I've ever had. I've been with him through the three other losses... I feel lucky to have found him!

Enjoy the holidays this weekend. I'll be thinking about you, too...

Sounds like a good appointment...or the best it could be under the circumstances. I also ended up seeing the MD who treated me after my ectopic....I have an HMO and he was the one who showed the most compassion and understanding. He also followed up with me to see how I was doing.

I was monitored closely in my subsequent pregnancies...it's important with our histories.

Take it easy when you do go back to work. I hope you have a wondeful holidays. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Congrats on the good news!! I also stayed with the DR who did my surgery- she is on this side of town and is very nice.

Sorry to jump in late. I'm glad you had a good appt. I've also stayed with the same doctor after my EP, even though I have insurance issues with his partner. He listens to me and spares no tests.

Hopefully your cycles will return to normal soon. Mine actually returned to normal pretty quickly. So hopefully yours will too and you can get back to work (TTC, sorry to hear you have to work NYE)
