MRI results are in!

I went in this afternoon to get the results from my MRI on Friday. I was so nervous all day long, especially after Taylor told me last night how worried he was about it and on top of that a local funeral home sent me a survey about arranging funerals! Good grief that was not good timing AT ALL! lol But when we got to see my doctor, he didn't really tell us anything that we didn't already know, so that's great! The MRI showed a small little cyst on my right ovary, which is really no big deal because I'm prone to them and it's not causing me pain. It also showed a few areas on my lower left side where I have endometriosis, again I've already known that. The MRI confirmed that my right ovary and uterus are all functioning properly and that we would be able to have another baby if we decided to, but we would risk the baby being born prematurely like Adalyn. My left uterus was filled with some blood, which has no way of escaping if you know what I mean ;) It's possible that I've been in so much pain because that uterus keeps contracting harder and harder to get the fluid out, but it can't. Also, it could just be endometriosis on my muscles. I suppose it could be a little bit of both of those things, but who knows! Dr. Citty recommended that Taylor and I go see a Reproductive Endocrinologist in Little Rock on April 8th. He will be able to give us a better idea of what to do in our situation. Dr. Citty mentioned a possibility of developing uterine cancer in my left uterus due to the fluid irritating the lining, but he doesn't know much about it, thus the referral. The Reproductive Endocrinologist will also tell us what carrying another baby to full term would entail and any risks that would have. So in the mean time Dr. Citty has me on continuous birth control pills to keep me from more fluid building up and to keep my endometriosis in check. I really appreciate all of the prayers that have been sent our way and we are just so thankful to have wonderful friends and family! Love you all!
