    Amy - i'm sure you'll come up with answers to your questions very soon. i would think the sooner you get the testing, the better it will be for you and DH in your planning for a bubba. with luck, you won't be a carrier at all, but if you are, there are many options - it just means planning differently - IVF/PGD can be a bit on the exxy side, but if you're prepared in advance, you can budget and work out when you want to start.

    have a talk to your gyne about your TTC journey in the future following the removal of the endo - it may regrow and you might be advised to TTC sooner rather than later, or may have to have another lap beforehand. it's definitely something you want to throw into the mix in your TTC discussions with DH...

    thinking of you hun

    You've been through a lot this year Amy

    I hope 2009 brings you the answers you need, and that everything works out. You'll have your babies, I have no doubt!!!

    Good luck with your appts and tests! I hope that it all goes well for you. I dont know anything about MD, but I do know 2 people who have haemochromatosis, and both can control their with just diet, you wouldnt know they had it unless they told you.

    Good luck with the tests Amy! I'm that you won't even be a carrier and so it won't be an issue. It's great that you're getting this sorted now though and each test is a step closer to your little bub!
