The Verdict Is In
Friday was the big day and even though I was probably not allowed to, I sneaked a peek at the images and the report done by die Radiologist. The verdict is that I do, indeed, have a “Micro Adenoma” on my Pituitary Gland. This Adenoma is also causing my Pituitary to lean slightly to the left, because it is growing on the right side of the gland.
All that remains now is to make an appointment with the Neurosurgeon, then we can discuss my options. As some of you may know, the medication to shrink this 4-5mm Adenoma will more than likely render me unable to conceive. Naturally, I will not take this fact lying down and I have decided to make some sort of plan before commencing treatment. By the sounds of things this ‘growth’ is stil very small which means that pregnancy shouldn’t be too risky. Since your pituitary grows slightly during pregnancy it could be a teeny bit dangerous for me to attempt seeing as there is already increased pressure from this thing growing on the side of my gland.
*sighs*
All I need now is an open-minded, dark haired, greenish blue-eyed young man willing to donate his seed in order for me to have what I most desire at this stage of my life – A child. I have done some research and I cannot afford to go the Sperm Bank route – the consultations alone cost about R1000 and I do not think there will be just one of those. So, unless I start a “Get Joni Pregnant” fund, I am slightly screwed.
Then…that is it for the day, I suppose.
Wish me luck.
