Endometriosis, Infertility, Miscarriage and Life in general
I am 35 years old, living with stage IV Endometriosis, possibly adenomyosis and struggled with infertility for almost 4 years. I also struggled with PPD and now struggle with PMDD. I am a mother to a son that was born at 18 weeks and too precious for this earth; and now a mother to a son born in August 2011. By journaling here, I hope to benefit both for myself and for others that are dealing with this disease and fertility struggles. Thanks for visiting!

Yipes!
I totally went against any diet rules today. It was our anniversary, and I just ate WHATEVER. Ick. I can really feel it now! But, it was so yummy, I must say!
Happy Anniversary - sorry to hear the bleeding started just at the wrong time for you. I agree sometimes you just have to enjoy yourself but here's hoping you feel better from the food you ate soon.
Hi there. I have found your blog this morning reading about lupron. I will have my first shot on tuesday and I am so nervous. I am really scared because I have had such a bad year so far. I had surgery on june and I still need to remove another fibroid that is inside the uterus this time. Another doctor removed a big one in the wall outside and endo. I have been depressed, tired, and i have had episodes of ansiety since the surgery so I am afraid the lupron will make my life even worse. I am reading your blog and it helps me to see that even though it is hard you keep writing and moving on. I am also seeing a naturopath and doing acupunture. Hope you get preagnant soon. You are on my prayers too now.
Thanks luciana!!! I hope everything goes well with your shot. Just keep an eye on your symptoms-but, not to the point that you are obsessing. Ya know? I completely understand your depression and anxiety...it's so hard from going to perfectly normal to having such a crappy year! You are NOT alone!!!! Please write anytime- we are all here to help and support each other! And, thanks for visiting! If you go back in my posts you can see my journey with my Lupron. Thinking about you!
