Just a quick note to update everyone. My SIS (saline infused sonography) of my uterus was normal, as we thought it would be. So nothing else to do now except pray:)

Updates
Went to the Ob/Gyn here in Nebraska yesterday. We talked about things and he agreed with my other Ob/Gyn that a slew of genetic testing was probably not worth the money. They already checked all of the more common things and that was all normal, so for now, no reproductive endocrinologist, which I am happy with.
I'm going in next week for something called an SIS I think. It's basically a 3-D ultrasound of my uterus to make sure that after the septum was removed I didn't develop any adhesions or anything like that. Then he had me start taking a baby aspirin every day, and he gave me a prescription for progesterone to start taking the day I find out I'm pregnant again. The aspirin and the progesterone are sort of voo-doo. Some people swear by it, there is little in the literature to support it, but there is very little in the way of side effects for either one of them, and some women have success after starting them.
So we're back to trying. And I think I'm ready. I don't get so upset or angry about it anymore. Another of my good friends told us she was pregnant recently, and I was able to feel happy for her. Another just had a beautiful baby girl, and I was really happy for her too. Sireesha, who just had the baby, had some issues with infertility herself. She and her husband had tried to get pregnant for over two years before they finally figured out what was wrong.
I hope that it is in the cards for us to be parents. I think that if we have another miscarriage we will probably start to look into adoption though. At least that's what we think right now. We go back and forth. In some ways we both feel that if we can't have kids of our own, maybe we just won't have kids. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. One crisis at a time:)

Yuummmm...
Pumpkin Pancakes with White Chocolate Buttercream
Ok, does that not sound amazing, if not good for you?
Most of you remember Beth, one of my good friends growing up. She now is mostly a SAHM, but she also has a website that she runs, called Nestlette. It's so funny because looking through it, you can totally see the girl I grew up with. In so many way we were so different, but this is totally Beth. Organized, clever, crafty, girly and sweet. She posts some really cute things on there, so I like to go every once in awhile and check it out. You should too:)
