Post op with Dr Pavelka

I saw Dr Pavelka today for my baseline ultrasound and post op. The baseline ultrasound is to check my ovaries and make sure they are quiet; meaning I don't have an cysts or anything abnormal. This was normal.

I also had another physical to make sure I'm healthy to start IVF. I asked Dr Pavelka how my surgery went, he found more polyps than he thought he would. He said their was 14 or so small ones. He's not sure if this is why I haven't been able to get pregnant or not.

This last Saturday night I took my last birth control pill. I'm happy for that. I don't like taking them. This coming Saturday I get to start another shot. I'll be taking Menopur and Bravelle to stimulate my ovaries. I can combine these so it's just one shot for the 2 drugs. I'll still be on Lupron for a few days. Two shots a day for a few days. What a treat.

I asked about my running. Dr Pavelka said I can continue to run for now but when my ovaries get larger I shouldn't be running. However my paperwork says I can walk. I'll see how I'm feeling and walk when I feel up to it. Being on the drugs that stimulate my ovaries make me more tired than normal.

As some of you may know my first outing with Judge was skydiving with another co-worker Gayle. Gayle and I have deiced to go skydiving again this Saturday afternoon. We are very excited.
