WAHOO! GOT THE GREEN LIGHT TO TTC!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got the "official" green light from my OB/GYN last night that it's ok that we're TTC. I was concerned due to the fact that I've had 3 previous laparoscopies due to severe pelvic pain & pain when we BD which turned out to be cysts on my ovaries, adhesions, & fibroids. The last laparoscopy I had was May '02 & my Dr. said then everything looked good-no cysts, adhesions & apparently the fibroids I had 2 years before disappeared. I was on BCP for 9 years & stopped taking them sometime in the beginning of '02-they were throwing my hormones off WAY TOO MUCH-I would have crying spells at work for no apparent reason & major mood swings. DH & I think that all the problems were due to BCP, since I've been off of them, I haven't had any symptoms like before & actually my AF cramping isn't as horrendous as it was in the past.

DH & I weren't ready to start TTC after my 3rd laparascopy & really have been trying since April '03. Although I haven't been charting my temps, I can tell when I "O" due to slight cramping & EWCM. My Dr. said to just relax with everything (I know that can be hard!) and since I know when I 'O' that we should BD 2 days before, the day of, and 2 days after. I can't tell you all how much weight has been lifted off my shoulders since I saw & talked to my Dr. last night. He answered about a million questions that I asked him & didn't seem to mind how long we talked about TTC. He even said before he walked out that he expects to see me in his office within the next couple of months! I feel like I'm on cloud nine! My OB/GYN ROCKS!! :)

Sorry so lengthy, just had to share my excitement with someone besides DH, he keeps telling me "I told you to relax & stop obsessing", but I knew that all of you would understand where I'm coming from. I'll be 'O'ing around the 28th, so on with the BD Fest! Hope everyone gets that BFP this month!

++++++++++Positive vibes to all!+++++++++++++

Thanks Chelle, at least you know where I'm coming from w/ the laparoscopies! Looks like we're in this journey together! Are you keeping track of your cycle? I should be 'o'ing around the 28th, if we're cycling around the same time, would you want to be a cycle buddy? Best wishes & ++++++ vibes to you!

Wahoo Rachel!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy and excited for you to start ttc now- yippee!!!! Wow- it's so awesome to hear these ob/gyn ROCK stories- I love that!! While I sent mine packing last winter, my new midwife was great- I'm just bummed that due to skyrocketing insurance rates she is no longer doing deliveries, so when I (wahooo- next cycle!!!) get to come back ttc too, and get my bfp (hopefully before Xmas!) I'll have to find a new ob/gyn and I sure hope I find one that I love just as much as you love yours. Wahooo- I'm so excited for you..........can you tell- lol!! Here's super huge get that BFP here very soon vibes- you've been waiting long enough!!! Huge ((((((((hugs))))))))))) LOLove, Connie
