So, perhaps a few of you (from the six people who read my blog) already know I recently had a procedure. I have had some problems of the woman variety for about a year, and it turns out that I had twin polyps in my uterus (sorry, ladies, but I didn't get a copy of the ultrasound picture for that one). Naturally, my doctor wanted to remove them during a hysteroscopy. My response? "While you're in there, do you think...?" And so, he turned me on to the new alternative to tying/burning/squishing tubes. I need not explain, as the lovely diagram to the right does it for me. I will tell you that I had general anesthesia, and I felt FINE the next day. Just like a nasty period. Vicatin and Ibuprofen are my friends. And now micro-inserts are too. Some of you may be wondering (or not, if I have spoken to you recently) how I feel about never reproducing again. The idea of it may sound sad, but I am relieved. I spent my young adult life preventing pregnancy. Then there was a brief period of time when I took pregnancy tests and hoped they were positive (Mom, I promise I have only peed on three sticks - one for Chase and two for Hayden; I couldn't get his test results for 48 hours). But I feel accomplished knowing that my child-conceiving days are finished. Not to brag, but I did expunge two amazing boys from my uterus. In conclusion, I whole-heartedly recommend this procedure to those of you ready to say no to birth control pills and contractions. The rest of you may make babies with my blessing.

Essure? Ah... Sure!

Good for you. Now you can bow-chick-a-wah-wow all you want! Last week Amy wanted me to have the same procedure...
on my mouth.
Brag on Monaka- Three cheers for your boys AND your uterus!
Um. Glad you're feeling better? *Now I must block out your post and continue to focus on my very full and endlessly (it seems) growing uterus.* Andrew, don't lie!
I just put 2 and 2 together...
Your last post said; Yay! School's out for summer! and then you immediately followed that up with a post saying you had a procedure that would prevent you from having more kids. I don't know how that bodes well for those of us with kids on the way?!
It's all right, I can live without having a granddaughter. sob
HOLY! Congrats(!)(?) :o)
