Resting after surgery

I had my third hysteroscopy surgery yesterday, let's hope it's the last! During a recent sonohystogram, they thought they found two polyps, but during surgery it turned out to be a bunch of blood clots they removed. I have spent the day resting up and am feeling quite good. Feeling pretty positive about our upcoming IVF which should hopefully start in the next two weeks.

I've already been taking some meds in preparation for our IVF: Metformin (to help with egg quality), DHEA (to improve egg quantity and quality), Levothryoxine (to get my thyroid levels to a point where that can sustain a pregnancy), and prenatal vitamins of course.

I should be getting my meds for my IVF cycle later this week or early week sometime, along with my protocol and schedule from the fertility clinic. I will post some pics when we get those.

Next week I will start my weekly acupuncture appointments again as well. Acupuncture is very important when going through an IVF cycle. It assists with blood flow to the uterus, hormone balance, and also helps to control pain and stress throughout the process. Research shows that it can improve success rate as well.
