We leave for our third trip to Reprofit in Brno in the Czech Republic on Saturday. I've been preparing for a couple weeks by taking estrogen pills. Last Thursday I went for the mid-cycle ultrasound to check on my uterine lining, which was a very nice 10 mm. Its been much thicker in the past, possibly because of the endometriosis, so this is more optimal.
However, Dr. Teaff noticed a polyp in my uterus that is right up at the top where embryos like to attach. She had seen in last month during another procedure, but said it was more prominent now (which I don't get because the measurement was the same, 6 mm). So she contacted Dr. Machac in the Czech Republic to see what he thought, and they both agreed it should be removed before the Frozen Embryo Transfer.
So I'm having outpatient surgery today to have it removed. The procedure itself is no big deal as there is no incision, she will go in through the cervix. But there should be some discomfort and maybe cramping later. But for some reason it requires full anesthesia, I guess so I don't wiggle while she is trying to snip the very small polyp.
I'm not worried about the surgery at all, though of course full anesthesia is always a bit nerve-wracking. But I didn't need this extra mental and maybe slightly physical stress this week. I have so much to finish before Spring Break and the trip next week that I'm most worried about losing a day or maybe two of work. And of course we're both stressed by the unexpected cost we weren't planning.
I'm sure there won't be much to report, but I'll post again tonight or tomorrow morning with an update.
