Hey Dinky, I wondered where you went!
Yes, I'm CD8 now. But it's beyond amazing how great AF has been since I started my new stuff!
So, what's new...well, I've started a TTC journal. I don't know how helpful it is with TTC, but a few people kept asking when I would start one. And, well, that's about it... since I'm not preg...nothing else is really much different. I've been getting to the gym and that's helping my mental state, not that much can really HELP my mental state.
I'm looking forward to you each getting your surgeries out of the way and rolling on to your s!!!

hey ladies sorry ive been away for so long! but time was going so slowly waiting for my operation to come so i decided to stop obsessing over it and stop coming on this website............ anyways i had my lap on monday and i swear ill never have one done again! its the worst thing ive ever gone through! i didnt react too well to the stuff that makes you go to sleep and i ended up staying in hospital an extra night. its thursday now and im still suffering from seriously painful shoulder and chest pain! i lost alot of blood during the surgery and had that many painkillers i couldnt sit up without going dizzy. it was horrible. but they did find endometriosis and quite alot of it too. they found it on my right ovary, in my muscles around my womb and on the entrance to my womb. they got rid of what they could and split my organs and put them back where they should be and they ended up making 4 incisions on my stomach, it looks like a cross on my belly! but the surgeon said i have a much better chance on concieving and it was proberbly why i wasnt concieving, he prescribed me 4 months worth of clomid even though i cant have intercourse or use tampons or anything for 4 weeks! they made all my downstairs sore too i dont know what they did down there but i imagine they had to shove things up there to help remove stuff. so enough about me lol. how are you ladies???

Oh my goodness dinky! I am so sorry it was so rough honey!! Mine was really rough too, but I didn't want to scare you. I think it was the worst thing I've ever had to go through too.
I can't chat long because I am at work...but I will catch up better later. I'm on CD3 so that means what it means. *sigh*

its a bitch isnt it?! sorry about the language lol but this whole trying to concieve thing is really hard! why does it happen so easily for other people but for some who really really want it, its like a decade long emotional test? its wrong int it! whats your next step anyway? hopefully this is my last step lol it really was horrible! and it was the worst thing ive ever done if i need another one to remove more endo i dont think ill have it. have you had more than 1 done? x

Hey ladies i have endo well doc thinks i have ... have been ttc for 8 months and awaiting laporoscomy ... can i join you?

hope x x x

Yes, Hope...please do. We've not been very busy on this thread but I know I'd love to see you join!

Dinky-I've had one surgery. And that will be the last unless my life depended on it. My next step?? I don't even know. I have decided to stop going crazy symptom spotting. I do it all the stinkin' time and it's just not helpful. A lot of PMS and Endo symptoms are the exact same as pregnancy symptoms right down to the hot flashes and diarrhea. Crude, I know. I have been trying almost 7 years (in August) and it's the same damn thing every month. I have only ever had one chemical pregancy to be sure of and I honestly don't think the problem lies with me soley.
So, I think we're going to do a SA in the next couple of months and meanwhile I'm just going to try to lose the extra 20-25 pounds I've put on in the last year and stay healthy as possible. I am going to talk to my health insurance next week and readjust it and find out if there's a plan that offers infertility treatments. I know I must be ovulating...and I've had u/s's to find that I seem to be. My tubes are clear and my cycles are regular. I just need a super sticky gorilla glued eggy to make itself at home.

excellent thanks for your support i have had or know i have had the condition for a while now ... but never found any sort of support or anyone to discuss it with as everyone thinks im a drama queen and to get over it.

No drama queens here, we know how rough it is. People have no clue everything that is involved when you have endo...it screws everything up!

meli tia do you use opk's? i do and they say im ovulating but still ive been trying almost 7 years also and i havent concieved once! what exactly is a chemical pregnancy? ill never have a lap done again either unless i really really had to. worst experiance of my life!!!!!

hey hope&faith! welcome to this thread! we do understand what your going through and it is so hard to cope with but this website does make it so much easier!

Hi Dinky,

I have a gyne appointment today and expecting doc to suggest a laporoscomy ... have you had this and what was your experience?

Hope
