Patiences is a virtue

I never thought that getting pregnant would be so difficult. I thought it would just happen. After the first couple of months, I figured it was just beginners unluckiness. After six months, I began thinking something was wrong. Micah and I are both young, fairly health adults that should be able to reproduce without problems. It wasn't until nine months of trying that I remembered what the doctor said after my bowel resection sugery in 2001. "You might have problems getting pregnant because of the amount of scar tissue that you might develop near your uterus. It was pretty messy in there."

I didn't think a lot about his comments six years ago. Then again, I was also 20 years old and still in college. I haven't had an real health problems due to the Crohn's disease since 2001, but that doesn't mean damage hasn't been done. So after nine months of trying, I have an appointment to see a reproduction endocrinologist - fancy language for a infertility specialist. If my gut is correct and there is no other explaination for our infertility and it is related to scar tissue, the best case scenerio, there is scar tissue and it can be cleaned up with a little bit of surgery. Worst case surgery, the scar tissue is too much to be cleaned up with additional surgery, then we have to discuss IVF. My appointment is next week. I want answers now!!
