Update

I was so happy to see I had a comment on my last post! :) Thanks for reading and your comment, Power Perfect in Weakness!

Yesterday my period came.  So today I have been curling up with my heating pad and playing Bubble Shooter online.  If you haven't heard of it, I caution you now, because that game is very addicting.  My husband and I just beat it for the first time the other night and we were thrilled.  For a few days we thought it was impossible to beat.  Now I can win easily.  We aren't super into online games, it's just Bubble Shooter and of course Bubble Spinner is pretty fun too.  Anyway!

We decided to stay with our current health insurance plan.  Apparently we won't be saving any money by moving up to the comprehensive plan.  The premiums are ridiculous in that plan, so we want to stay with our current one. Even if it means we have a higher deductible, I think the numbers work out to saving money in the long run with this plan.  Since we now won't be waiting for a "better" insurance plan, we have given thought to moving forward with a recommendation from the Napro doctor for a surgical consult.

Last night my period was causing me a lot of pain and I told my husband I just wanted to get surgery as soon as possible.  I always worry about money though, so I was crying probably in part from having my period but also due to the realization that we'll find ourselves with a hefty bill if we do go through with surgery.  I know God will provide for us though.  He always has in the past.

Our Napro doctor gave us a few options, I can't remember if I posted about them in my last post, but they were esentially this:

I could have a surgery immediatley.
We could do charting to rule out other possible problems and then if needed, try surgery.
Or we could do charting as well as 6 months of medicinal therapy, and then if that all doesn't help, try surgery.

Since she thinks I have an 80 % chance of having endometriosis, a big part of me feels like I just want to have the surgery.  I could find myself with less painful periods and then God-willing even able to conceive.

So having given it thought, my husband and I decided to have a surgical consult next Friday.  At first it was going to be a month from now, and actually fell on the day I was due for my next period (yikes, pain while making long car trip?) so we decided to move it closer (I'm so impatient, so this works much better for me!) to the 28th.  My husband is taking the day off so we'll be driving about 3 hours to the surgeon and will try to make a day trip out of the visit so we can enjoy his time off as well.

I feel peaceful about this.  I want to move forward and lately I've been feeling like I want to move forward quicker than I normally prefer.  I guess I'm just ready to have answers and ready for us to start our family.  Any prayers you can offer for me next Friday would be so appreciated.  Though it's not like that is a surgery date, I just hope it all goes well and God will bless our efforts.  Sorry this post is kind of random and jumps all over the place.  I have to realize there are probably people reading this now, so I better try to write more coherently and not just stream of consciousness all the time!  God bless you readers!
