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!

D&C
My D&C is scheduled for tomorrow at 12:30. The meds didn't expel enough of the tissue. Please send more prayers this way. I'm a little nervous. I know it's a pretty simple procedure. But, really, shouldn't ALL of this have been a little easier?

oh now, i'm sorry :( i will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Oh no. Yes, this all should have been easier and it should have been so much happier. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing so many difficulties on top of losing your son.
I started reading your blog over the summer (when we were in the beginning stages of our first IVF) and then lost touch, but saw you commented in mine yesterday.
My heart aches for your loss. I am so sorry. I cannot even imagine what you've gone through, but you are handling it with an amazing amount of grace and faith. I wish I could offer you words to make this easier, but there really are none. I'll keep you and your DH in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the D&C goes smoothly (you deserve at the very least this to go smoothly). Please take care.

Good luck tomorrow. Hope they're gentle, get the retained tissue out, and let your uterus heal and get back to normal quickly.
