All clear!

Well, the laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are done. Turns out, both tubes are clear. So I don't know what happened with the HSG. The RE did say sometimes there can just be a spasm that makes it looked blocked. I had no adhesions or anything to worry about. And no endometriosis. All in all, very good news. The only thing the doctor thought was out of the ordinary is that I have a very small (minuscule he said) cervix. But that might be because it is early in my cycle.

After I found this out, I thought, "hmm, so really there was no reason for this surgery?" I guess it is good just to know and have more answers.

I am feeling really well. I thought I would be more tired than I am. I'm resting on the couch and a bit weak, but not feeling sleepy. Not too much pain. DH is taking good care of me.

Now to finish off my week, I just need to make it past the baby shower at work on Friday. I would skip it, but it is literally right outside my office. I could hear it anyway if I stayed in my office. My plan is to show up, eat some cake, and pretend I have a meeting in another building. I am supposed to get walking in everyday for my marathon training, so that would be a good opportunity.

Baby shower gift grab

It's bad enough to get an invitation to a baby shower. It's even worse when it is clear that the invite is solely a grab for a gift. And even worse that it is from someone who herself had some IF issues. I just can't believe how rude that is!

I don't know much about DH's cousin's IF. All I know is that they got married a few years before us and when my MIL told us she was pregnant, she mentioned they had tried to get pregnant for a couple years, did some IF treatment, and then gave up and a few months later got pregnant. I don't know if my MIL has told her sister about our IF struggles. Or if this news has traveled on down to the cousin.

But the problem is I don't even know the cousin! We met once, at the funeral of DH's grandmother, where I had to rush out because it happened to be the weekend we were moving across the country and I had to meet the moving truck. So imagine my surprise when I open the mail and see a baby shower invite. To a shower 4 states away for a person I met once briefly. WTH? Who does that? Can you make it any more obvious that you want lots of gifts?
