Ultrasound Appointment

As I texted all of you--I am cystless!! YEAH! I am really excited.

I had my ultrasound on Saturday at Doctors' Hospital. My OB/GYN's office is attached to the hospital and I had my surgery there. It is on UM's campus and they are nothing but professional and friendly. We have come here for Sean's ankle and they were great! If I ever have a baby, I will have it here!

Anyway. I had the same ultrasound technician from last August. He remembered me! We got started and he turned the screen to show me. He was very nice about pointing out what was what on the screen. Very cool. I kept pestering him about my left ovary--is there a cyst? Is there? IS THERE? He said he didn't see one. I had brought my report from the radiologist and he reviewed it. He said, nope, no cyst--at least not one that big (it was 4cm x 4cm x 4cm). I was so excited I almost hugged him. I actually thought about it!

I am pretty sure this means that I won't need another surgery. I was really worried about that. I was so relieved that I took a huge nap on Saturday after I got home. I actually slept because I wasn't worried--novel concept, I know! The next step is to get Sean tested again and pray for better results. I go back to my Dr. Dec 3rd. If Sean's results are better I expect to get fertility drugs. If his results are bad--I don't know what to expect. So there is the potential for bad news. I am trying to stay positive.

Did I tell you that I have started acupuncture to regulate my cycle? I have had two appointments so far. It is pretty relaxing and cool. I got some interesting herbs too. I am scheduled for 12 appointments and my guy is optimistic that this well help.

TMI? I hope not!

Changing the subject, Sean actually got a vacation day approved (praise the Lord) and we are going to Charleston for Thanksgiving. We are leaving Wednesday and coming back Sunday. We are both pretty excited. We will get to see Elizabeth and Grandmother. It will be so great to see them. Plus Sean said we can find a good wing place for the UF vs. FSU game. Nothing like yelling at the TV in public!
