Quick Update to "Uncertainties"

I wanted to write a quick update to my earlier post today...

Just got back from my appointment with the fertility clinic. Again, I can't stress enough how great Dr. Fritz is. If anyone is reading this, or knows someone who needs a reference on a fertility clinic I will definitely back them for everything I've had up to this point.

I had asked that other fertility clinic to send over my medical records (really just the results of the AMH blood test I had done) to UNC Fertility. As a reaffirmation of why I was NOT in the right place when I went there, they sent over records on a completely different person attached to my release. After calling and relaying my frustration to them (I was polite lol) they did manage to find the correct information and fax it over.

The good news....my AMH levels were great! Dr. Fritz couldn't have been more pleased. For those of you with a medical background, it was 7.4. Not sure what "normal" is but it was good news all the same. Before I left, Dr. Fritz wanted to do an ultrasound to get an idea of what my reproductive anatomy looked like.

He also had some concern that the ovaries had been moved out of place and were behind the uterus. More good news-they were right where they were supposed to be. :) The left ovary is VERY large (7 cm - 8 cm/normal is 2 cm) which presents it's own problems.

The next step is a surgical procedure to clamp off the tubes from the uterus. This will keep the fluid from getting into and possibly damaging the uterus. It also means that the fluid will not be there when they attempt to implant an egg down the road.

Overall...I give this appointment an A+. Dr. Fritz was encouraged by the news we had today and, like me, is taking this one step at a time.

God truly has answered all my prayers up to this point and I will continue to trust in Him that His will for my life will be done.

By telling my story, I have been reminded what terrific friends I have in my life. Those of you that I don't get to see or talk to on a regular basis, know that you are just as special to me and that your prayers and thoughts mean more to me than you know. To those of you that I lean on each and everyday (you know who you are)-thanks for always being there for me. Love to you all!
