Endometriosis

Jlynn · #1 April 7th, 2008, 10:38 AM

I am pretty sure i have it. My mom had it so bad that they told her she would never have kids. my sister also has it.

I have to worst lower abdomina pain. I have had it since my last cycle. It came around day 20 and then left for a few days. Now it's back. It hurts all the time.

When i had an ultrsound down last April they reported findings of Endometriosis but i didn't have any symptoms so my Doctor wrote it off and told me not to worry about it. Well here i am a year later and in really bad pain and still not pregnant

Hope your pain feels better soon. Hope you're taking something for it. Good luck at your appt. next month. Too bad you can't be seen sooner!

Hang in there girl, I know how you're feeling. It's all going to work out for the best, according to His will and perfect timing!

Thanks so much Lindsey!! This would explain why i am not pregnat yet. I just keep praying that i can still get pregnant. I wish i could see my Doctor today.

You're MORE than welcome. (I've heard of many ladies getting prego even with having endo. so don't worry just yet

) Maybe if you called and complained of the pain they'd see you? Worth a try, if you want.

I'm sorry you're in pain Jamielynn! I hope that you can maybe try to get in to see your Doctor sooner- it's worth a shot, especially if you're in pain. Hope you can feel better soon!

Sweetie, i wish i could take your pain away..It sucks not knowing whats going on. And not to be mean, but your Doc should of did more testing to see if it was a mild case or a bad case.

there is a woman with Endo on this site that just got a BFP. she also has blood clotting diseases as well.

Keep your chin up. and get your butt to the dr. and start demanding stuff!!!

Good luck hun!

Thats not a bad idea. I will call tomorrow. Maybe he can at least get me an ultrasound appointment somewhere before my appointment with him. Thanks for the advice!!

To be honest that though crossed my mind today and i started to 2nd guess my doctor. He is suppose to be one of the very best in my area. I know lots of ladies that have been to him. I will meet with him next month and see what he says. If i don't think he is doing the best he can to help me i am going to try another doctor.

Thanks for sharing!! I LOVE to hear stories about other women who got their BFP despite health problems.

It gives me tons of hope

I hope you're able to get a dr appointment soon so you can get some help getting pregnant and not being in pain.

I'm so sorry sweetie, I feel your pain. I'm pretty sure mine has grown back since my lap last fall. The good news is if they do decide to do surgery to remove the endo, it is realtively minor and recovery is pretty quick-I was back at work after a week, and usually the endo stays away for quite a while. :hugs

Hey Jamie...I didn't read through all the posts but I did want to let you know about my sister to give you a little hope. She had tried for just over a year to get pg and then had a lap for endo. After the lap the first cycle that they TTC she got pg with my 3 yr old nephew and then 2 years later had no problem getting pg again with my 1 yr old nephew. I would definately give your Dr a call and see what they are willing to do. Pain is not normal and hopefully they will be willing to do something!

Hoosier Kitty · #16 April 9th, 2008, 05:34 PM

I want to give you some hope.
My friend has endo and she was told she would never get pg naturally. So she got on all kind of meds blah blah and didn't work, then she had IVF and got pg. she had a boy. Then she got preg 2nd time on clomid, got pg with girl. then she got pg last year NATURALLY!!!! and had a baby girl. She said 3 is enough and she's sooo happy she didn't give up. She was very proactive to get what she wanted.
Be very stern with your doctor and say "Look I have been TTC way too long and I want every tests checked to rule out everything and start on fertility testing!"
