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!

Maybe next time

So, I'm officially in the process of a miscarriage, or whatever the clinic calls it. My numbers dropped today from 64 to 49. I know it's all for a reason, but, it still hurts. I should expect my period within the next week or two. That ought to be fun-I haven't had one since March! Ughhhhh. I have a follow-up June 10th; we'll talk about what the next step will be then. Until then, I just hope the torture will be over before June 8-happy bday to me!

Ugh, I am sooooooooo sorry. ((Hugs)) I know that doesn't really begin to cover it, but just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish we could truly understand why these things happen, but then again I'm sure it would still be just as painful to go through anyway. I wish it weren't so for you guys, I was really hoping this would be it for you! :(

Oh, hon, I'm so sorry. I hope that your period isn't too horrible, that you're able to enjoy your birthday, and that you get some good answers and a new game plan on the 10th. Thinking of you!

I am so very sorry. It wish that infertile women would only get straight BFNs... it is simply too cruel to get our hopes up with a chemical pregnancy. I hope the fact that you were able to get pregnant on this try bodes well for future attempts!

Oh, I'm so sorry! I know this is so hard for you - be strong.

I was thinking about you this weekend - went out of town with dh to get away and forgot my crackberry charger.

I'm so sorry - I was out of the loop this weekend and just read your news. My thoughts are with you, and I hope you're doing okay. So sorry you're going through this...

I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I know how difficult it is. Do not give up hope. They told us we would never have children and I had so many problems, surgeries and pain that interfered with my life. But I am now about to have my second son with no medical intervention. Miracles do happen. So hang in there and bless your heart!
