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.

(almost) 2 Weeks Later

Tomorrow will make 2 weeks since I have had my laparoscopy/hysteroscopy. I am up and about and feeling okay. My belly is still quite swollen which I have learned from some friends is normal. I still prefer to be in sweats or pj pants to jeans... but really, who doesn't? The scabs have almost completely come off my two smaller incisions. Those incisions are annoying though since one of them is right where my pants hit and the other is right where my underwear hits. My belly is sore to the touch, so much so that just having my shirt touching it is a little uncomfortable. Not horrible, but uncomfortable.

For several days I couldn't sleep on my side because that hurt too bad. I am sleeping on my side like a champ now. I can even roll over in bed and not wake up in pain to do it. Bending over is still rough. Holding my kids is hard too since their knees hit right on my belly and any pressure in that area is not fun.

My post-op appointment was supposed to be next Monday. It got rescheduled for November 4, another week and a half out from when it was supposed to be. I am not supposed to have sex until I am cleared at my post-op appointment. Needless to say, DH isn't too thrilled with this. I really am not either, as nice as it has been to sit on the couch each evening and not be interrupted. I am thinking that if AF shows up soon, after that I am going to clear myself for sex. AF is due to show up in the next few days. Although I am still confused if that is to happen on time or not.
