more from the doctor

It has been a while since we update about the doctor's appointments.  Last blog about it (click here to read) was after the surgery!  Since then I have had several doctor's appointments and two procedures.  In addition to the fibroid I also have a cyst on my ovary and a septated endometrium.  The last test was to check the endometrium.  Overall the results look good. 
The fibroid is not in the cavity which means they won't have to remove it right now!  Removing it can cause some risk of damaging the uterus.   The risk of that damage isn't worth going in before we have kids.  If it is a problem after kids then we can look into removing it. 
The septated endometrium (basically a divot in the uterus wall) is a small concern right now.  If it is bad enough the doctor will go in to smooth it out.  If not, we leave it. 
We are positive about all the progress that has been made and how quickly everything is happening.  I have another appointment on tuesday and we are hoping for more good news.
