No HSG for me please :)

Ok, so I went to get my HSG yesterday. More like tried to get it done. I was supposedly still in my "cycle" and the Dr. acted suprised. Because most normal women finish on day 5. You do the test between day 6-12, I was scheduled for day 7. Well, news flash Dr. I am coming to you because I am not normal. ;P So I wasted more of my lovely "vacation" time at yet another Dr. appt. I was told if he tried to do the HSG that is would push the flow upward and cause my mild Endometriosis to go to severe, it can also flush everything into my abdomen as well. Once you go to severe you can't go back. So back on birth control I go for another two months and then schedule my procedure for day 7 during the start of the new pack. I should have named this blog site "My life in Stirups" instead of Fuller Follies. Also another fun thing I wasn't told was that it may or may not cause Labor like pains, so it would be better if I had someone drive me just in case and to take (4) 200 mg Ibprophen before I go. So I had to basically reschedule it for 35 days out from now.

For those who aren't sure what an HSG is, it is also called a A hysterosalpingogram is an X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes which allows visualization of the inside of the uterus and tubes. The picture will reveal any abnormalities of the uterus as well as tubal problems such as blockage and dilation (hydrosalpinx). If the tubes are not blocked by scar tissue or adhesions, the dye will flow into the abdominal cavity. This is a good sign but it does not guarantee that the tubes will function normally. It does give a rough estimate of the quality of the tubal structure and the status of the tubal lining. Some cases where the tubes appear to be blocked where they join the uterus, may in fact be normal. Often blockage at this location may be due to spasm of the opening from the uterus into the tube or from accumulated debris and mucus blocking the opening. This can be managed by passing a very thin catheter into the fallopian tube either at the time of hysterosalpingogram or during a hysteroscopic procedure.

Sometime if there is a blockage, during the procedure, the dye can force the tube open again.

Back to the Drawing Board

Well on 8/24/09 we will start with a fertility endocronologist. My OB/GYN said she has taken me as far as she can take me without a specialist. So hopefully this will help, if not we might have a house in a few months and can start the home study for adoption. Well, that is all for now, long day at work and the bed looks to inviting. :)

I love doing wedding cakes. It gives me a sense of accomplishment to come up with an idea and follow through with it. I love this cake and I think it is one of my favorite ones I did so far. Thank you so much Becca for trusting me to go crazy and do whatever I wanted. I just hope you were truly happy with it and that it tasted great. :)

Quack, Quack

 

AJ’s sister Tammy just had her baby shower this past weekend.  It was a wonderful party and she had a lot of people there.  Now granted this is not the best cake I have ever done, but it had to travel from Longwood to Avalon Park.  I swear his tail wagged all the way there and it made me so nervous.  The 3-D cakes are a little more nerve racking then anything else.  I am finding the more I do these, the more I am learning. 

Weddings, weddings, weddings....

Well, Saturday my friend Stella got married. It was a beautiful event and everyone had a great time.

She looked gorgeous and it was hard to not show emotions and keep it together.

After all how often do I wear make-up and do my hair. (smile)

Well the cake turned out ok, I would have loved to added more flowers but with time and other issues, well anyways.

This is the groom's cake, he loves NASCAR. Don't be too impressed, these were frosting sheets on a race car shaped pan cake. I did not have to do anything but bake, ice, peel and stick the sheets on. HUGE timesaver.

Mom and Dad came out to support their "other daughter", they had a great time and loved being there.

Brenda and Marvin were able to make it just for the weekend, it was wonderful to have them there for extra support. Plus, they helped me cut the cake. :)

Bridal Shower

Ok so here are the pics from the shower I did a couple of weeks ago. I did a candy bar with a bling bling cake.

This was one of the cakes, not my best work since I was kind of rushed. I still like the diamonds on the top of it though.

The smaller cake had the larger pink diamond on it.

This was the candy bar (pink and green of course).

The label on the silver jar is what we used for candy labels.

LEEP Procedure

Well it is done and I feel blessed. I won't find out anything until the 23rd of this February. As I was wheeled into the procedure room they gave me a sedative so I was a little loopy. My eyes were playing tricks on me or so I thought. When I looked to my left I saw a guy standing there that looked so familiar but since I could not get my eyes to adjust and I was going into la la land..... Anyways, after the procedure was done and I was waking up I saw that same guy walking towards me. I was finally getting my focus back and I realized it was Jared Day (Angel's husband). I felt much better knowing that someone I knew was helping with the procedure and felt very blessed to have him in the room. Maybe that is why I have had no pain since yesterday, a little sore but no major pains. Thank you so much Jared for coming to say Hi after the procedure so I could see who it was and that it wasn't the drugs. Sorry I did not recognize you at first with the sedative goggles on. After this procedure hopefully we will be given the ok in May to start trying again. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers around that time. Love to all!!!
