The Journey Continues...

So I'm going about my day, and I get a phone call from my doctor. I specifically remember I was checking the mail when he called me.   He said that there was a fertility doctor that really wanted to get involved with us, and help me out.  His name was Dr. John Crochet at The Center of Reproductive Medicine.  Dr. Crochet had gone to my gyno' s office one day to visit and catch up.  My doctor presented my case to him just to get further information and a second opinion on the issues that I was having with infertility.  After about a 30 minute conversation, both doctors were ready for the next step.  They thoroughly discussed the issues at hand and came to the agreement that I needed to have surgery. 

 They both agreed that the fluid in my hydrosalpinx was the main issue at hand, due to it's toxicity.  My doctor informed me that if I did not have surgery to take care of this issue, it could possibly lead to me having further problems with the rest of my reproductive system.  That was definitely the last thing I wanted.  The fertility specialist confirmed everything that we had been doing thus far with the procedures and testing, were are on the right track.  Both my doctor and the fertility doctor said, "We will do whatever it takes to get you pregnant!"  

I hung up the phone in tears of joy and fear.  My doctor had done so much to help me out and he was still trying to explore every avenue of this issue, and for that I was grateful.  At the same time, I was scared.  I didn't want to have surgery, but I knew that I had to do whatever it was that was necessary for me to have a baby.  My next step was to set up an appointment with the fertility specialist.  I was pretty excited about this doctor's appointment because I felt like it could possibly give us further information about my infertility and this toxic fluid inside of me.  I would now be under the care of two different doctors!  I was continuing to take my Clomid and Premarin.  I did not get pregnant during the month that I was highly anticipating to get pregnant in.  :(   It was now April and my fourth month on the fertility medications.... maybe this would be the month?  I sure hoped so.  For me there was still hope that the medications could work.  After all, I do have one tube working properly!
