Imperfect Uterus

Finding out about the polyps on my uterus was really hard for me. I had never had something like them before and not knowing exactly what was going on, was killing me. I tried not to worry about them, but I couldn't help it. Besides the fear of having uterine cancer I was scared to death of having surgery. 

I trusted Dr Shah and his opinion but I also knew that I wasn't his number one priority. So, I made an appointment to see Dr. Campaigne when I returned home. I knew that she would be honest and tell me everything I needed to hear. I'm pretty sure if she had not become an OB, that she would have been a therapist! She's just so great at listening and offering advice.
I left there knowing that I didn't have to get the surgery if I didn't want to. It wasn't required for me to have another child of my own. She did suggest I keep my appointment with Texas Fertility just to see what they had to say. 


A week later I had my first visit with Dr. Silverberg at Texas Fertility Center. He seemed to be a little more concerned about the polyps and talked me into having the hysterscopy. The surgery was pretty uneventful. I was in and out in a few hours with just some mild cramps.
I had  to wait almost a month for the results. I called just about everyday for my results but no one returned my phone calls. When I finally went in for my post-op Dr. Silverberg realized that they never got my test results back. I waited over an hour while they called CPL but they never came. I'm assured that they must have been clear and was told not to worry. That isn't the easiest thing to do.

Dr. Silverberg sent his "findings" to Dr. Shah and we were approved to move on to the next step. 

If only things were that easy...
