. health update .

i wanted to update real quick on myself.  i haven't done that in a while and want record of what all has gone on.  without going into too many details, but just enough where i'll remember years down the road and i look back. 

two weeks ago, my doctor's office called with my test results.  the nurse said that everything look great, but that i had a blood disorder called protein s deficiency and that this disorder was, most likely, causing my miscarriages.  i'm not good with medical details, but i do know that PSD has to do with blood clotting too much.  there's lots of information on it and i'm now on extra doses of folic acid each day in case i do get pregnant again.  {LORD willing.}  also, there's a chance that, if i do get pregnant, i could have to give myself shots of blood thinners daily.  i would definitely be a high risk pregnancy, so it's a lot for us to think about and pray about.  thankfull, i've had a few friends sending me messages about PSD and how they have or have had it with their pregnancies and all has turned out great.

today, i went in for a scheduled HSG test.  i had to check into radiology and wait forever.  once i was finally taken back, i was stripped, robbed, and sat on a cold metal table.  no kidding.  have you ever sat naked on a metal table?  it's not pleasant.  and i'll leave it at that.  without too many more details, the radiologist injected dye into my uterus and into the one fallopian tube i have left.  he took pictures of the dye making it's way through and watched for abnormalities and/or blockages.  he said that the dye going through the tube was delayed a little, but it finally went all the way.  they watch to make sure the dye empties out the other end of the tube, which tells them that the tube is all clear.  he said that there may have been a small blockage, but the dye pushed through that.  he also said that sometimes women are more fertile after the HSG test because the dye tends to "clean you out".  the test only lasted about 15 minutes and he immediately showed us the pictures and gave us the green light.  he said all was well.  and that was music to my ears.  i was nervous all day.  i didn't eat.  i kept myself busy.  so to hear that everything was great, was an amazing end to the afternoon.  {thank you JESUS!} 

that's it.  hopefully this is the last post about this stuff that i'll have for you.  no more tests.  no more bad news.  i keep praying!!  and THANK YOU for all of your prayers too!
