What's next?

I had my hysterosalpingogram last Thursday. I am so happy it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I only had three small episodes of cramping, nothing like I heard it was going to be. Perhaps it was the 15mg of valium I had on board, I don't know. SO............I guess I will wait until my doctor gets the results and then Lane & I will meet with him to discuss. Hopefully my equipment works normally.

Pedicures & Makeovers


Jill and I have been pampering ourselves lately and it has been wonderful! We enjoyed a fabulous pedicure a couple weeks ago and got matching purple toes. Today we had fabulous makeovers by MAC in the new and beautiful Nordstrom. Here are a few pics of our adventures!

Pure gorgeousness! I forgot to take a "before" picture of Jill. She is actually very pretty without makeup. She is so lucky to have such dark eyelashes & eyebrows. We had a blast and only spent a few pennies.

Our cute little purple piggies!

Finally!

Aunt Flo finally came to visit me today so I can finally make some test appointments. I am calling tomorrow to schedule my hysterosalpingogram. It will be next week sometime. I will get my blood drawn next Saturday and the following Saturday for my chlomid challenge and to test my follicle stimulating hormone. Then we will see. Oh, the fun adventure begins! P.S. Men have it so easy, it's just not fair! Sometimes I hate having a vagina!

Tests

Regarding my previous post, here is an update......

Lane and I visited with Dr. Heiner last week and I told him our desire to have children. I explained to him that I understand the importance of losing weight (my continual battle), however I want to get some tests done to make sure my female parts are okay. He expressed how proud he was of me for losing weight and he encouraged me to continue that plan. In the meantime I am going to have a few tests this month depending on when I start my period. I am going to have a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), an ultrasound of my ovaries, a chlomid challenge, and Lane is going to have his sperm rechecked. All of these tests will be scheduled after I start my period in March. I am a little nervous for the HSG test because I hear it is quite painful. Basically they put something up my Hoo Hoo and inject dye into my fallopain tubes to make sure they are clear. This test causes some intense cramping and luckily I was given 15mg of valium to take before the test. My mom is the lucky one to take me for this test. Thanks mom! So, there you have the latest on our adventure. I will keep my blog updated with what the tests show. I am so glad that we are getting these tests done. We are actively participating in our future. I have learned through this that sometimes you have to take your life into your own hands and tell the doctor what you want.
