I suck. I keep saying I'm going to update this and I always forget. I'm so bad with that. I even turned my PC on today and *still* forgot to update this.
This is going to be the short version of my update and I will give the more detailed one tomorrow. My hubby just got back from visiting his family in Maine and I haven't spent time with him all weekend. I also didn't get much sleep because now that I'm married, it's virtually impossible to sleep an entire night in bed without feeling my husband sleeping next to me. It was like half my heart was missing and it was a very empty feeling. I'm so glad he's home now. :)
Anyway, my followup appt for the surgery was last Tuesday. I waited an hour and a half for my appt because one of his patients went into labor (oh the joy of seeing an OB-Gyn vs. just a Gyn). I finally got in the room, he made sure my incisions were looking good and checked inside quickly to make sure everything was healing and not tender. He said everything looks great. He also wants me to try naturally until December. If after December, we're still not pregnant, he will start me on Clomid again in January. I asked him what percentage of women get pregnant after a laparascopy and he said about 73% within the first three months following and then the percentage goes up slightly to about 80% for the next 6-8 months following. He said he doesn't think I will have a problem at all and he's very optimistic about me conceiving naturally.
I happily sobbed the entire way home. Even though I'm not completely out of the woods just yet, I never thought I would conceive at all, nevermine naturally. I just kept repeating that word over and over to myself. Naturally....naturally...naturally. I couldn't believe that was actually MY appointment. It was though and because he's optimistic, I am now too. It's like I'm beginning my journey all over again but with a lot of knowledge and a whole hell of a lot of humility because I know if I'm lucky enough to conceive naturally that it will be a miracle in my eyes...but one that I will never, ever take for granted. For once, I'm truly happy with my TTC journey. I still get a little jealous of women with babies and who are pregnant, but I feel like this is a new beginning to the start of a new life. Literally. :)
More to come tomorrow....

Wow! 73% is awesome. Its great to have hope. And finally that hope is on your side. I can't wait until you get a spontaneous pregnancy! You deserve it oh so much. As you may recall, I got pregnant in the six months after my first laproscopy. So the stats out there are right.
I love you Shayna!
I love YOU! :) <3 <3 <3
