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!

Anyone good with charts?
Yeah, cause mine is CRAZY this month! I've usually got a nice "regular" pattern-low temps, steady climb (dip-the ovulation), and they peak. It all started with that spotting! I took a pregnancy test thinking...okay, maybe...even after the awful bleeding and clots; but obviously it was negative. Anyone? Anyone?
I'm sorry - as I've not tried conceiving yet I've never really done a chart so they just confuse me. Bit of a pointless comment, eh? I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you even though I can't help!
Sorry, I can't help either. It seems to me that if you're spotting but unsure why you might want to visit the doctor (AGAIN!) I wish you luck. I'll be thinking of you.
I also write to thank you for looking at my blog. Foxy in the Waiting Room
Hey! I'm sorry to hear about your confusion, once again- not looking forward to all of that!
I didn't get contrast in my CT scan, I felt like that might have helped them. I never know exactly what they're doing. I guess it's better to just trust them somtimes...I mean, I didn't do the extra schooling for it for a reason... ;)
