Hi there Debbie, Tam & Sue
Enjoying Perth... not really drinking that much now...after the first night thought I had better slow down a bit... 1 or 2 is usually my limit these days... and that is usually only once a month!! Although there has been no lack of encouragement my 3 sisters are all big drinkers! It is nice to be with them. The retail therapy has been fabulous.
Dr visit went well... showed him my charts, he seems to think all is well there, so that's good new. He wants to do a more thorough check so will find out today if I am on the surgery list for next Wednesday (5th April) will be having a Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy & D&C to give everything a good check out. He will also will do a Lletz Cone biopsy to remove a couple of troublesome cells from my cervix.... was going to leave it as it is not a major thing but given I will be under anyway thought he may as well get it done....
Will let you know what happens today.... calling into see if I am on the list.
Ciao for now ... and thank you all for your well wishes.
Kate
PS hope all is going well with you guys....

I agree Kate, get all the 'research' done in one go. Hopefully, they can get you in on Wednesday so you don't have to make another trip to Perth. But, then again..... :-k
Do your sisters know of your situation? Hopefully, if they do, they're supportive. My sister falls at the drop of a hat and has absolutely no idea or concept of what I used to go through.
Chin up girl, sounds like you're happy with your doctor, that's important. When you get to our age, it's comforting to know your charts are normal!
Take care.
Love
Sue

Kate, looks as if you are in the right place just now. I remember the old cyclone watches! Hope your husband is fine up there.
Take care

Hi there Debbie & Sue
Yes the Cyclone gave me a sleepless night worrying about things at home... TC Glenda went right over our place... (we are 35k's East from Onslow and 80ks South of Mardie) the whole house was shaking literally and I had to sit down while hubby was telling me about it all over the phone, it is much easier to be there... the noise was just horrendous and that was only what I could hear over the phone... house held together although the rain was horizontal and came in through the windows ... hubby and dog are both fine, thank god! We've lost most of the trees so the yards are a real mess some of the sheds have damage but nothing that cant be repaired. All over now just worreid about flooding as roads are out to town, but pantry and freezers fully stocked so not a real prob... hubby has a freezer full of prepared dinners that I did before heading to the city so he will be fine.
Got in for Surgery on Wednesday ...will get results back Mon 10th so all on track... my sisters are pretty good, as are the few friends I have told so that's a good thing... I'm pretty lucky really on the whole.
I'm heading off for a nanna nap as have a dinner out tonight with a couple of pals... ciao for now

Cyclone was pretty bad so lucky DH & dog are ok, & lucky he's got all those dinners you prepared.
Take care

Hi Kate, wishing you all the best for your surgery today.

Thank goodness we're back on the air, for a little while anyway. :smt102
So, Kate, how was the op? Wanted to ask before we were all thrown into BB darkness again...
Hope you have some answers.
Sue

Hi there... back home again, but very bad connection as have phone problems here... so may not be able to check in too often for the next week or so.. that's life in the bush!

Thanks everone for your well wishes and concern.
Ciao for now

Hi Kate
Wondering if cyber things are behaving now and wondering how you are?
Sue

Back again... cyber things seem to be behaving again at last.
Update on post surgery Dr visit...
The peak inside showed that I have a right rudimentary horm (non-communicating) left fallopian tube is fine but right doesn't connect to the main uterus. Both ovaries are healthy and uterus is 7/8 of normal size so would support pregnancy no probs... He noted some minimal old inactive endo which he tidied up but all else appears "normal"
Gave me a couple of options to think about...
1. continue on clomid
2. pursue follicle tracking when next in Perth with Hubby
have decided to go with option 1 until December and then reveiw everything then depending on results and how we both feel then.
I guess this effectively halves the chances of preg as the right tube is not delivering the egg/s to the uterus... but at least we know what is happening inside and can adjust things accordingly... not sure if this is a common thing... as per usual had a hundred more questions after I stepped out of the surgery. Might give Dr a call later this week.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has had same diagnosis?
Still I guess we just stay positive and see what fate has in store for us!
:-k
Thanks again for your concern and sorry for the lack of communication on my part....
Ciao Kate

Hi Kate
It's good that you now know what's going on down there. Also glad to hear the endo is old and inactive.
It's amazing what the body can do isn't it - the right fallopian tube I mean. I haven't had that happen but my naturopath told me a story. I know I've mentioned it in here before - a lot of people don't believe it but I was with my naturopath for many years and know she wouldn't have been fibbing. She had a client who had tried for years and years - no luck. Only had a left ovary and a right tube (might have those around the wrong way...). Anyway, she ended up pg, obviously her right tube was determined to get that egg!!!
December isn't that far away, hoping Clomid does the trick for you.
Cheers

Hi Sue
Thanks for quick response... I've really missed bb and our chats!
The Dr explained it all pretty well, it appears that that is how the uterus developed when I was being put together... 7/8ths is normal and the other 1/8 formed this right rudimentary horn that the right fallopian tube connects too.... From my reading the body alternates ovulation ie right side one month and left the next. I asked if he could tell what ovary had ovulated as according to my charts I had ovulated the day before surgery (which was very handy) he said it was very clearly the left side.
I feel more empowered now that I know what is going on in there it was reassuring to know that he does not think the rudimentary horn is sufficient reason for delayed fertility.. so things can still happen.
Bye the way, have you heard from your Italian and booked your detour???
Ciao for now
Kate

Well, you certainly sound positive and confident - that's such a huge part of it!
What an amazing thing to happen to your ute. The human body never ceases to amaze me.
No need to comment on the quick response.
Actually, told myself this morning I'd only come in here once today - heaps of jobs to do. So, I went outside and saw that my seaside daisies have been poisoned :-k I have a feeling a know who did it. Apart from it being done, now I have to get in and pull them out cause they're brown and had formed a lovely groundcover, it's in an area that is very slopey and my foot's b*ggered atm. :fuming: Then, I decided to change focus and do something productive inside as weeding is out of the question due to foot. One of my kitchen corner cupboards hasn't been closing exactly right and bumping the drawers and I decided I could fix that..... So armed with screwdriver and Van Morrison blaring (to annoy aforementioned poisoner) I went to work. Long story short, after a while I ended up with the whole door in my left hand trying to hold it in place without bending my toes to avoid more foot pain. Needless to say that was impossible. Somehow, I got it back on :boggle: and of course, it closes in exactly the same way as it did before I operated.
Obviously, I needed a mood alterer really badly, so I'm back here.
Sorry for that little outburst....
Heard from Risotto this week. He is in Prague for a few days then Budapest. He's now doing tours all around Europe, not just Italy so I'm not sure how I'm going to squeeze him in - so to speak ;)
Take care

Hi Sue, Your post has altered my mood... had to pick myself up off the floor :lol:
Sorry for delayed response got called away yesterday and have only just had some spare time to get back... town trip today to Onslow which ended up in us driving half way up to Karratha with Water Samples because airport is still closed due to post cyclone flood damage.... so got absolutely nothing done... I've a list a mile long as we go on holiday in 3 weeks so did not need a lost day... such is life!
Have a heap to catch up on in our garden damage was not as bad as I had thought... seaside daisies grow well here in our arid environs but we lost all the mulch that helps that happen so have a lot of work to get that sorted again.
On the Risotto front... it sounds like you need to book a coach trip around Europe... hope you get to link up with him ... one way or another!
Ciao for now

Hi Kate,
I'm 34yrs probably not in your age category but do feel like it as we've been TTC for over 12 months, plus, with my surgery in January, renovating a 2 storey house, selling and then moving interstate has put a strain on the marriage and ttc. Now, things have settled down in our new state and dh is working we are trying again. I'll be on my first clomid cycle once af arrives which is 2 days late. No, I'm not pg, I just have irregular af's.

Hi Sam
Lots of girls have had good success with clomid, so I hope it will be just what you need.
We've been on the renovation trail too... seems like for many years now so I can relate to that for sure... we are about to go on hols but will be working on our house in Karratha for a few weeks, laying floorboards and re-concreting the bathroom floor ready to put the rest of it back in and probably joy of joys ... more painting!
Moving in itself can be stressfull so take it easy with each other, wow a move interstate thats huge! I assume you have moved to Tassie... do you know many people there or have family around?
Sorry for delayed response but my internet is just appaulling atm... waiting for sat broadband connection was supposed to happen this week but delayed yet again grrr... seems to be the story of my life lately!!!
You certainly have age on your side... I will only be ttc for the rest of this year, personally I think that having a baby after I turn 45 will physically be pushing my luck... but that said, I may feel differently if nothing has happened by December. We have decided not to pursue ivf.. but then again I may change my mind about that too! Just trying to let things happen and go with the flow with the assistance of clomid, turns out I have a bicornuate uterus and only one viable tube, although the right ovary works fine it connects to a rudimentary horn and doesn't communicate with the main uterus, only found this out with recent surgery, had a lap & hyst in April...
Gosh I've been rambling on ... sorry!
Nice to meet you and good luck on your journey.
Ciao Kate
