Where do I begin... I'm closely approaching 32, so I'm anxious for my husband and I to start our family before it's really too late. Almost 7 years ago we lost our baby at 17 weeks. I went into preterm labor and was diagnosed with incompetent cervix. We were crushed but determined to try again. From that point on my periods were all over the place and I was constantly bleeding (spotting between regular periods). After several trips to the doctor and multiple tests, it was determined that I had developed a huge polyp that was not only acting as an iud but also causing my constant bleeding. I felt relief that we finally knew what was going on. I was scheduled for surgery and once the polyp was removed, they sent it for a biopsy to make sure it wasn't cancerous. A few weeks later the results showed that while it wasn't cancer, it was hyperplasia without atypia. The doctors were a little confused because this condition is more commonly found in older or over weight women, and I was in my late twenties and normal weight. I was then put on megace progesterone for 6 months, in hopes the hyperplasia would clear up. I was told not to try to get pregnant because although I didn't have cancer, the cells could possibly turn into cancer and they wanted it to be cleared up before I were to become pregnant. 6 months felt like a huge set back but I had to do what needed to be done. After the 6 months I went for a biopsy and the results showed that although the megace worked, there were still traces of the hyperplasia. The doctor suggested I have a mirena iud inserted for optimal results. I broke down, how could the one thing that could clear up my hyperplasia also prevent me from having the one thing we wanted so badly?! After lots of tears, we made the decision to insert the mirena for 6 months. After the 6 months I went back for another biopsy. Everything was cleared up and we were good to go to start trying for a baby. However, I was told that when I was not pregnant or planning to be pregnant I was to have the mirena in to prevent the hyperplasia from returning. Although I was happy we were finally clear to start trying, I knew it wasn't going to happen. At this time my husband was to be deployed for a year so we kept the mirena in. I finally got the mirena removed last month and was put on my first round of clomid for an extra boost. My body seemed to react positively to it but unfortunately I did not become pregnant. I know it's a little early in our TTC journey but I just feel frustrated because to me, our journey started 7 years ago! I hope to report some good news in the coming months.
