impatiently waiting

I just realized that I completely forgot to post an update after my test last week.  Long story short, I'm a dumbass for getting so worked up about it.  All of those horror stories I read last week did not apply to me so I wasted all that time being nervous for nothing.  I barely felt a thing during the procedure and afterwards it was only light cramping.  Nothing terrible which is probably why I neglected to write about it until now.

It was a very quick test but they did find out that I do in fact have polyps.  *Gasp*  Yeah, not that shocked, we all knew they were there.  Well, scratch that.  He thought there might be one, apparently there are a couple of friends in there with him.

My polyps, making their digital debut!
Ok, so you can't really see them all that well but they are there, I promise.

So, surgery is our next step.  Problem is, I literally have no idea when that might be.  I talked to my nurse today to find out if there was any progress in scheduling me but it turns out that egg retrieval appointments get booked first in their surgery center, then if there is room they schedule in all the other surgeries.  Good to know.  So, honestly, I could get a call tomorrow telling me my surgery is the next day.

That doesn't sit well with me.  I'm the kind of person that needs a few days to mentally prepare for something like this.  I've only been put under anesthesia once and that was for wisdom teeth.  So, I'm panicking just a little.

I do want to get it done this week though because well, the timing is right and I just want to put this all behind me.  But if we have to wait longer, so be it.

In other news, these damn birth control pills are wreaking havoc on my body.  I have about 8 side effects right now.  Nothing so terrible that I need to stop taking them but jeez, I'm over this already.  I hate them!
