Each Scar Has A Story To Tell

As I prepare myself for my next surgery, I can't help but look down at my 3 little scars.  The more they healed the smaller they became.  They each have a story to tell.  Little did they know they were about to be re-opened.

Prepping for Surgery

You don't know how strong you are, until being strong is all you have.....  prepping for surgery.

Surgery #2 Date!

                                      Surgery is scheduled for March 14, 2014!

What led to that November 1st Appointment

I forgot to previously post about my ovulation testing after my first surgery was complete.  I started to track my ovulation once I got the all clear from my doctor to start trying again and doing routine bloodowork to track my progesterone.  I was sooooo excited.  I had opted to start trying naturally, without fertility drugs.  This was my ultimate goal in all of this, so I was excited to see what the outcome would be!  I knew that it could take some time for it to happen, but I was excited to be off any sort of medications, and ready to go again.   

              First Month of Ovulation Predictor Kits and Pregnancy Tests post surgery!

 

No success with Month One.  On to Month Two!

 

   

 Shortly after this, the cyst I had became complex.  With that being said, I had been instructed to stop trying and get back on birth control.  It seems like everytime I get 3 steps ahead, and it seems like pregnancy is closer than ever......I get pushed 5 steps back.  

Note:  

 I wanted to post these pictures, even if they are out of sequence.  This is what led to me finding out about my cyst's continuous development, and then proceeded to me scheduling my next surgery. (So you don't get confused)
