Surgery and Testing Part 2

I had my laparoscopy and hysterscopy surgery yesterday at Kettering! He said he did cut out quite a bit of endometrosis and removed 4 or 5 cysts/nodules that were pretty deep on my right side that would have been causing a lot of my pain. He said my tubes, ovaries, and uterus look great and he found no blockages in the tubes when taking the camera through them. He also said this will definently maximize our chances of success with our IVF procedure! He took pictures of the endometriosis and cysts but I will spare you guys the pictures unless anyone wants to see them just let me know!  Now I have my post op on the 27th and he said we will start figuring out dates to begin IVF medicines which will most likely be 3-5 weeks after that visit! I did put pictures at the bottom from the day of the surgery and my incisions afterwards. 

In the mean time while waiting to start the IVF medicines they have scheduled Zacks TESE procedure for March 31st! We are excited but he is very nervous! This will require general sedation but it will be more like wisdom teeth removal sedation than actual surgery. They said the procedure should only take about 10 minutes! They will freeze the tissue they get and then it will be stored until it is ready to be unthawed when I have my egg extraction so they can make the embryos!

Last week I had my hormone testing and they tested my TSH, LH, FSH, Insulin, Prolactin, Estradiol, HCG, DHEA sulfate, and Testosterone levels! So thank you everyone for the prayers they all came back in the normal range which is awesome! Those results help them determine how good of a chance of success we will have with IVF and makes sure that according the the numbers I should have good quality eggs which is very important with IVF!

But again thank you all for your prayers and the donations that we have been given! It's what is making all this possible! We have such a peace about it and everything is just going so smoothly so we know that it can only be God working this all out for us! We will post again after Zacks TESE procedure and will let you know how that went as well as the dates we will begin IVF shots!
