Changes

I know it has been a while since I've posted but I have had a crazy couple of weeks. I had my D&C on the 16th of August and it was a bumpy ride. Here is all the details of the past couple of weeks:

To start off, I have officially switched Fertility Doctors because of the situation I am about to tell you about. The day of my surgery everything went well. I asked my Dad and Laura to take me as Beni had to work and was taking off the day after to take care of me. The day after went well, very emotional, but physically went well. That Saturday Nana came down to be with me. We went out to have lunch and on the way home I started to get the chills. By the time I got home I was burning up. Nana took my temp and it was 101.7. I looked at my discharge papers and it stated any fever over 101 call the doctor right away. So I called, and called, and called for three hours straight. No one answered and I was afraid to take anything to decrease my fever without the doctor's approval. So Beni called Dr. Bernick's office and they instructed me what to take and also called in a prescription for antibiotics. The next day Dr. Denker's nurse/office manager called me and said something blah blah blah about phone line blah blah blah. I expressed that I was not only upset that I was unable to get a hold of someone but no one called me the day after my surgery to follow up. She then began telling me that I could have just taken Advil and the hospital should have told me this. She became snippy and short and very defensive. I did not feel this was professional or compassionate and completely turned me off in addition to the mounting concerns I was beginning to have with Dr. Denker and his office.

The next Tuesday I had scheduled an appointment with a new Doctor that I had heard a lot of positive feedback about. His name is Dr. Peress. He went over my history and gave me a completely different prognosis than Dr. Denker. He told me that although my ovarian count is low, historically he has seen woman my age have viable eggs (good eggs). He also said he didn't want to do any further testing as we were able to get preggers on the first try before. He said he wants us to try for the next 6 months and then if we are not pregnant we can discuss further testing. He said that he feels that I should not have any issues getting pregnant again. When I asked him he said that he didn't even want to discuss egg donation because if that ends up being worst case scenario, we have up until I am 50 to do that. WOW What a difference... I went from Negativity to Positivity.

We had our 2 week follow-up yesterday and he reviewed the results of the Chromosome analysis they did on the tissue from the D&C. The results determined that everything (Chromosomes) was normal and that the pregnancy could have not developed for reasons we may never know. We also found out that my intuitions were correct and that I was pregnant with a boy. We were both a bit upset when I heard that because it made it so real.

But now moving forward, we have been approved to resume the baby making process!!!  YEAH! Also, we have some big things happening in our lives and will be updating you all shortly on that!

I want to send out a Thank you to everyone who contacted us and sent messages. Your kind words and prayers were appreciated during that time. Even if I may not of responded, please know that I read everything everyone wrote. Thank you for all your continued support and keep praying for the baby making process to take!
