The Beginning

I'd like to start by saying that I'm no writer. I am often agitated by having to write an e-mail to a customer or manager and having to re-write and re-read it twenty times before I hit send. I'm now entertaining the idea that maybe it's not that I don't like to write but maybe that I don't like to write in a proper manner. So, please don't be offended by my sometimes foul language, abbreviations, and slang. I am writing this blog in hopes of finding a constructive outlet to my infertility issues. I love to sew quilts and bags and pretty much anything I can think of but this unfortunately does not help me to express my ever growing frustrations of not being able to do the one thing that I've always wanted to do......have a baby. My husband and I have actively been trying to conceive for about 2 years now. Before we really started "trying" we were "not preventing" for about 6 years. In my eyes, this is 8 years of infertility. We started trying in the early part of 2009 with no luck. My gynecologist sent me to an RE in September and I had an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) done a couple weeks later. We found out that my left tube appeared to be partially blocked. I was told surgery was the only definite way to find out. In October I had the Laparoscopy done, I woke up to find out that I have Endometriosis which was completely covering my left tube. Needless to say, that tube is now gone. I am left with one tube and two ovaries and the ever lingering Endo. I don't know if anyone else will ever read this blog among the other million blogs out there but I figure this place will pose as my diary for now (my first one!) and if anyone happens to come by and take a looksy then Welcome :) Hopefully you can find some solice in knowing that if you are in fact having infertility issues...you are not alone.
