Beautiful Uterus

Second vist to the Fertiltiy Institute and Brittany had to go it alone because I could not get out of work.  The purpose of the visit was to make sure everything was good with her uterus and there are no abnormalities.

Brittany was nervous the morning of because she was not sure what to expect.  Brinttany asked me if I thought the ultra sound she was having was a regular ultra sound or if they were going to have to actually put something inside to see the uterus.  Of course I am not a doctor so I did not have a clue, and I was not sure why it mattered.

On my way home from work my phone rang...it was Brittany.  I answered and asked how everything was going.  She responded in a whisper that she had to remove her clothes from the waist down and that there was a wand that was going to be going you know where.  I then told her, "I guess it's not your regular ultra sound."  I told her I loved her and we got off the phone.

It was not much longer after that Brittany was calling back to share the results with me.  Her first words were, "Dr. Crawford says I have a beautiful uterus!"  This was good news, I was sure of that, but I started wondering what constitutes a beautiful uterus.

I had to get an answer to my question so I texted Dr. Crawford and asked, "What exactly makes a uterus beautiful?"  She replied, "It means beautiful!  No masses or abnormalities!"  So there you have it, I now know and there is a picture to prove it.

Brittany then told me that the green dot in the picture is where the embroyo will attach itself when the time comes.  I then had another question, "How do they know that is where it will attach?"  She said they know because that is the thin area in the uterus.  Then I needed to know why the embroyo attaches to the thin area of the uterus and this required more questions for Dr. Crawford.  So, I learned the green dot is the where you find the endometrial lining.  This is what you shed off each month with your period...this is why it is thin now, but it is thicker at the time of ovulation and when the embroyo will be attaching itself.

We came away with postive results after this visit to the doctor.  During this process, it is good to get to recieve as much positive results as possible.  First test down and all is good.  The next test is the hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test to determine if the fallopian tubes are open for eggs and sperm to meet.
