One in a Million Uterus

A mother of two adopted boys, I have a unicornuate uterus and I am on a journey to see if it can carry a child.

Name:

I was diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus in January 2006. DH and I decided to follow our hearts to the adoption of our two sons. Now our hearts are guiding us towards fertility treatments.

Normal

My obgyn office called today to confirm that my blood work results and DH's SA are "normal". All results have been sent to the RE. Then I was told that the RE might have a different spin on DH's SA results. Not sure what that is supposed to mean. Last time DH did a SA there was some questionable results (slightly low count and morphology if I remember). DH saw a urologist who felt everything was normal. So, who knows.

But I assure you, neither DH nor I are normal. On Monday we are getting our female puppy fixed. I am having this odd ethical issues about this, because really, how is it up to me to decide if someone (or some dog) is allowed to be a mother or not? I would be pissed beyond believe if a guardian of mine had my girl parts removed just to make his or her life easier. It just seems so wrong that I have been through so much crap trying to have children and now we are really just beginning the process of trying, and yet I am paying someone money to make sure that my puppy never has babies. In the words of Dave Matthews, "Funny the way it is, if you think about it."

DH suggested (not seriously, just in case our twisted sense of humor isn't evident) that maybe the vet could do a transplant where I could get the pup's uterus. Our conversation went kind of like this.

DH: Maybe the vet could do a transplant.
Me: Then I could have puppies!
DH: You would get the experience of being pregnant, and after they are born, you wouldn't even have to keep them all.
Me: We could sell them for profit!

It is in the pups best interest to be spayed. and it will keep neighborhood dogs from banging down your front door every time she goes into heat. You could be the first dog-human transplant patient. Which makes me wonder if you could get a uterus transplant and stay on the anti-rejection meds just long enough to have a baby and then get rid of the uterus when you are done.
I watch too much tv.
