Because of her cervical stenosis, the opening of her uterus is completely shut. Because of this there is no way for sperm or, in our case, an embryo to get in for her to be pregnant. She was unable to have her ultrasound that 'checks out the real estate'. Today she is having a 'cervical dilatation and hysteroscopy'. That is he is going to use successively larger metal rods to make a new opening in her cervix, and then once inside he will place a small camera inside and visually inspect the uterus to make sure everything is ok to implant an embryo.
Wide is really nervous. I don't blame her. She's had quite a few surgeries in her life and very nearly died a few years ago after one surgery in particular so she gets anxious in hospitals. The nice thing is, that this procedure is done in more of an office setting so I think that helped. But she still was starting to get nervous when we waited longer than expected.
She's in the OR now, shouldn't take very long but I thought I'd give a brief update.
