10/25/2017 0 Comments The waiting gameRight now Nate & I are in the waiting period. After the surgery I was told we needed to wait 6-8 weeks before trying to get pregnant. So far it has been 4 weeks & in 2 weeks I will go in for a postop appointment to make sure everything healed ok. For me, the waiting part is one of the hardest parts of infertility. When you are going in for appointments & doing ultrasounds & injections for IUI's or prepping for IVF it is stressful, but you know that you are doing what you can & you have appointments scheduled. Luckily, the past few weeks were busy so they went by pretty quickly but I feel like the next 2 weeks will drag on. & then there is the question of do we do any infertility treatments or tests or just try to get pregnant naturally & for how long? Our surgeon said he thought that there was a good possibility that we might be able to get pregnant naturally & that would be the most amazing miracle ever. I can't even picture getting pregnant without having tons of doctor's appointments, shots, paying thousands of dollars, & the whole IUI or IVF process. I almost don't want to get my hopes up incase we do need to go through those things. My fertility doctor's office messaged me yesterday to set up a hysteroscopy appointment to check if my fallopian tubes are blocked & it made me feel stressed out. I don't think I want to go through the stress of more appointments before we try to get pregnant for a few months. So we decided we will try to get pregnant naturally for 3 months & if we don't get pregnant, we will see if we can try Femara for another 3 months. If that doesn't work, then 3 rounds of IUI & if that doesn't work, IVF. I am really, really hoping that we can have a miracle & get pregnant naturally but I know that we can get through anything with the help of our Heavenly Father. These past 3 1/2 years have been rough but I know that Nate & I have grown closer together & I know that when we have children, we will love them more deeply that we could have & appreciate all of the little things that we wouldn't have noticed had we not struggled with infertility. I have faith in our Heavenly Father's plan for us & know it is much better than anything I could have planned. (*Also, just a side note but I have always had the feeling I would have twins...)
