Yes. After a huge run of tests earlier this month, we found that the ureter out of my right kidney is significantly smaller than my left which is why my pregnancy with Munchkin was so complicated. (The uterus grows and cuts off the ureter, causing back up, infection and swelling of the kidney. Kidneys can only take so much of that.) Our doctor has instructed us to have any and all children in the next five years (sooner is preferred) but "no pressure." Right.
So, Josh and I are now trying. January is a no go and not that we thought it WOULD be as we have just gone off birth control. (But it didn't hurt to "try."
)
In the future, my kidney will most likely poop out. Thankfully, a person can LIVE on one kidney (my grandpa does; obviously, this is genetic). However, you can't have a successful and healthy pregnancy without putting your life and the baby's life in danger with only one. So we're sort of racing the clock. Which is putting added pressure.
I'm going to start a thread about our journey. Including back history. Fun times.
And Nicole, thank you so much for your offer to talk to me about emotions. I WILL take you up on that. I'm so glad you're back. *sending hugs*
