About Me:

Female, 34, MT

Became a MedHelp junkie March 2007 (http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/186896?post_id=post_1319486)... [More]

Ugh, another roadblock... RE and OB/GYN think it is time for a full hysterectomy (uterus and ovaries)... I have some "cysts"... Had a consultation on March 14th, surgery on April 7th... Praying for the best, expecting the worst... Wish I knew God's plan :o)

12/6/07 - Thank you sooooo much for all your prayers... My mom went to be with the Lord today... We are so very thankful that the suffering has ended for her... She was an amazing christian woman and will be greatly missed!  My heart aches that Zeva will never know her "yia-yia" (greek for grandmother) - but boy do I have plenty of stories for her!

P.S.  "It whispers, so listen" - that is what is said about ovarian cancer... I know that many of us have taken mass amounts of fertility meds, and although there is no scientific evidence, I strongly encourage you to have a transvag ultrasound annually to check your ovaries for abnormalities... My mother's health/habits, were those of which the "list" says are least likely to contract ovarian cancer (having a baby before 25 - I am one of 5; breastfeeding - she breastfed all of us; having a tubaligation - she did... there are more, I just can't think straight right now)...  I have watched her struggle with this disease, she beat the odds (Drs didn't give her much hope to live to see my DD born - 7/20/06 - but she did!), and although she is finally "healed" and at peace, it is very hard - no one should have to go through this...

Love,

Zeva's Mom

(a side note - DDs hair has gotten longer - mine is MUCH shorter)

Our  quick story... DH and I tried for years to get pregnant... Looked into IVF in December 2002... Got BFP, on our own, in 2003 - M/C... Decided to go the IVF route... Even though all the HPTs came back BFN, the beta came back BFP!!!  It took 2 1/2 years (from start to BFP) but our 1st IVF worked!!! Our DD, born in 2006, is a dream come true, prayers answered... Never thought having her would make us GREEDY!!! Tried FET with 3 frozen embryos... BFN!  Tried another FET with the remaining embryo... BFN!  Going to keep TTC - but looking at adoption...

I believe that nagging works... therefore, I pray without ceasing that God will bless us with more children... The nagging worked for us once, maybe He will get tired of hearing us nag again and will grant our prayers!

Okay - so, I was previously told "no ovaries, no IVF"... Well, SDScientist recommended that I ask if I can keep my uterus and possibly do donor eggs... Turn out YES!!! I talked with RE, and after several phone calls, they said that YES, they could regulate my hormones... So, my plan is to keep my uterus (if both ovaries have to go)...Surgery is April 7th... Keep me in your prayers please :o)

I was just thinking about you and your ovaries and uterus this morning. :) You are in my prayers. You have to let us know how you are doing after surgery.
