His treatment plan for my endometriosis right now is a strong birth control pill that will take my period away, Yasmin. He wants me to take it for 84 days and see how I feel after that. He says that the hopeful outcome is that it'll take away my period and with it, my pain. He'd like to try to get me off narcotics like the Tylenol 3's that I take for the pain. My daily pain is something I've had for so long that I'm used to it, but my pain gets to the point where I'm doubled over the toilet with nausea and dizziness and in the fetal position for a few days when I'm on my period.

So, my endometriosis is mostly on my left side, but is apparently "building" on my right, which is probably why my pain is mostly on my right side.

I'm disappointed. Very very disappointed, that he wants me to take birth control. I was hoping to avoid birth control, but at the same time, I'm glad. Mike and I do not need to risk bringing another child into our lives when we can't even get along. So, hopefully everything will be okay between us by the time I finish the packs of pills and we can start trying again. I have to start taking the first pill on the first day of my next period, and I don't stop taking it. Once I finish a pack of 21, I move on to the next pack.

So far, my Brooke reading is correct. I won't be conceiving anytime soon, but hopefully that baby I conceive between August and October WILL be a healthy, sticky one, and who knows, maybe it will be because of this new birth control pill that my body will be able to handle carrying another one, or maybe this pill is just going to assist in allowing my body and our relationship some time to heal.

So, on to an April 2009 baby!!

wow 84 days! I know it sucks to wait, but you are probably right, hopefully you & Mike will have everything sorted out by then. And hopefully the pill will take away the endometriosis!!!

I know that's a long time to wait, but it sounds like you have it planned out. Hopefully that will give you guys time to heal and your body time to heal, also. Good luck to you! kUP

I hope the time flys by for you and that you are able to patch some things up and enjoy your relationship during this time. And of course that you get a sticky baby once you are done with those pills!
