Fertility....

Something I haven't spoken about on here before....

Simply because its too painful.

We have been TTC our second bubba since Sept. 09, we were lucky enough to fall pregnant on the 2nd cycle....but it ended up been an ectopic pregnancy and I lost the bubba and my left tube. Luckily they managed to save my ovary.....Lucky seems like such the wrong word. There was nothing lucky about the situation....

Anyway....I had surgery on NYE and started the New Year in tears but determined to create life.

It's not working.

So I have been referred to a Fertility Specialist. Which is totally overwhelming and daunting....

I see the FS in July...so I have one more shot of trying to get pregnant by ourselves.

I have no idea what to expect at our first visit. I suspect the FS will take lots of blood and order tests. I am keen to see if my remaining tube is clear so perhaps he will schedule surgery to check everything is in 'working order'.

I suppose DH will have to give a 'sample' too.......poor fella. Think of the pressure.

I've decided to start talking about this because I need to vent and secondly no one else is willing to talk about it.....making me feel like I'm in the minority and like there is something wrong with me...which there probably is.

So yeah....another specialist to add to the list.

What I wouldn't give for my health.............
