Gynecology

gynecologyThere is more to your reproductive system than your vagina. That is the title of a chapter in a fertility book I flipped through today at the clinic. Turns out, it’s true.

On ancient maps, mariners would mark uncharted areas of the sea with pictures of serpents, mythological creatures, and the warning, “Here be dragons”. It’s much the same way that I view the female reproductive system. I mapped out my favorite vacation spots, and everything else is veiled in mist.

We have spent hours reading information and speaking with professionals at the clinic about the entire process we are undergoing. I have been present for dozens of ultrasounds to view the state Michelle’s ovaries. Despite all of that, this morning I asked her how her uteruses were feeling. We will have a kid in college before she lets me forget that.

    By the way – my uteruses are fine! The doctor said I have the VJJ of a 30 year old. Now that I think of it – was he giving me a compliment?

    [...] There are a lot of drugs involved in IVF; vitamin and mineral supplements, hormones, and drugs designed to enhance, suppress, or encourage things in her body. An alarm rings six times a day. Everytime it does, she has to inject a liquid into her stomach, or take a pill. Some of these pills she can swallow, and some she has to take inter-vaginally, she has to insert them. Why the hell the vagina needs to consume this medicine in such a direct fashion I don’t know. I’ve already established I’m no gynecologist. [...]
