I'm back!

So I had surgery last Wednesday.  It went well!  They were planning to remove the 2 or 3 fibroids that they thought I had.  They ended up removing 10!  So the surgery itself lasted 2.5 hours instead of only 1 hour, but my uterus should be pretty clean now.  The surgeon inserted a stent to keep my uterus open while it healed.

Recovery sucked.  The stent caused really awful cramping and backaches.  For the first few days, I didn't feel well enough to do much of anything, except for get up to go to the bathroom.  I lay in bed, my husband brought me food, and I tried not to think too much about what the rest of the house looked like.  Mornings were especially bad, at least until the painkillers really started kicking in.  I got the stent removed yesterday (not fun, but in the overall scheme of things, not horible).  It's 8 days later, and I'm finally back at work and feeling like a human again.

Unfortunately, during the time I was out 1) My dogs knocked my laptop off of my dresser and it is now dead, 2) My really expensive racing bicycle was stolen from my garage, and 3) I misplaced my wallet.  I'm fairly certain it's in the house, since I didn't leave the house that day, but I could kick myself for taking it out of my purse and then putting it... somewhere else, apparently.  I vaguely remember thinking that it wasn't a good idea to not be putting it back in my purse, but apparently I didn't listen to myself and now it is gone.  I have been tearing the house apart trying to find it.  I am at a complete loss.

On the fertility front, the doctor wants to go back in sometime after mid-December to make sure there isn't a lot of scarring, and that the fibroids are gone and there is enough uterine cavity space for a baby to get started.  I got the results of my AMH test - it is 0.85, which is not good :(  Combined with an FSH of around 12, well...  I'm not going to get my hopes up. 

The doctor has instructed us to keep trying before my next surgery, and if I do happen to get pregnant, then we'll know this surgery worked.  If I don't get pregnant, I'll have the second surgery and then move on to a combination of pills and injectables.  And I have also been instructed to begin testing for ovulation once my next cycle begins.  I'm VERY excited about that, as I really want to know what is going on.
