You know, it amazes me how heavy the weight of worry can be. Nothing tangible, but heavy none-the-less.
Even more amazing is the feeling that happens when that weight has been lifted.
Today's visit with the doctor was a-fricking-mazing. We had another ultrasound done. The spot was smaller. A lot smaller. The doctor was actually amazed at how much smaller. We had the pre-ultra sound talk about how it may not be much smaller, that sometimes the difference wouldn't be easy to see this quickly, if it was just a cyst, that it could take up to six weeks to see a difference. But, no...Heidi's little uterus has been working double time at doing whatever it needed to do to crush that big black ball of worry. The doctor said it was likely an ovulatory cyst and it had collapsed. He was amazed at how much smaller it was and felt like it was nothing malignant or worrisome. The cancer blood tests came back negative and all is right with the world again.
And that alone would have made for a fabulous day, but wait...there was more! Not only did our little scare end up being all for naught, but if after a blood test to check Heidi's levels of progesterone (a little hormone that appears after ovulation), we may get to inseminate this month! "What?!?", you say. Yes! If her blood test shows the existence of progesterone, after her next period starts, we'll start our first round of Clomid...we already have the prescription! Because of the irregularity in Heidi's cycles, the doctor felt like it would prove more difficult to try to inseminate without using Clomid, likely making the process a little less successful. Uh, yea, need I remind you about the increased chance for twins? Well, it's still there but without it, we run the risk of taking a lot longer to get pregnant. So, what are our plans for the weekend? Well, you won't hear this everyday, but we are buying sperm. LOL The doctor said to go ahead and order it and have it delivered to his office for storage. And as if it couldn't get any better...there's a sale on sperm this month! LMAO Save $90! Whoo-hoo!
I know it will come as a surprise, but I damn near cried. Still get a little teary eyed every time I think about the stark contrast between the way we felt yesterday and the way we feel today. There is this crazy irony that all of the things I had hoped would happen on the last visit, happened on this visit. All of the things I had feared on this visit disappeared. Strange the way things turn out sometimes. God is good and he obviously heard the mountains of prayers I was throwing at him (Thanks G for listening and answering!).
OK then...I guess it's time to make a purchase. Hopefully cowboy hat baby is still in stock.
