So, I have been having horrible, horrible, mind blowingly painful periods for a while. I have also been unsuccessful at trying to concieve. Well, I found out why on Friday.
I have endometriosis. I will probably never be able to carry to term. I'll either have to terminate or will simply miscarry. My insides are apparently pretty scarred up from all this, all the way up into my intestines. The only way to remove this scarring is through surgery, which still may not help with my fertility.
Oh, and I have a huge head cold and so does FI.
That pretty much sums up why I am having the worst week ever!

Hi, I wanted to say I'm sorry for your Endometriosis diagnosis. I also have Endo and have researched a lot about it the past 5 years, let me know if I can offer any support to you? I'm assuming you had laproscopy surgery since that is how it's diagnosed? I had this done almost 5 years ago and discovered I had really bad endo too, my ovary was hooked to my bowells and all sorts of crazy stuff. I tried to get pregnant for a few years and it never happened, but we also discovered my stbx has male factor issues as well. I wanted to let you know that people with Endo get pregnant, all.the.time. If you are trying, I would definitely reccommend having your FI checked out as well. I know what you're going through and it sucks. I did accupuncture and changed my diet, I still don't eat meat because of the hormones. I have horrible periods and pretty much count on 4 days each month being completely terrible and take Ibuprofen and Loritab's every four hours.
Hang in there and let me know if I can help you in anyway!
