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!

Today was supposed to be filled with eager anticipation

I just realized that today was the day that we were supposed to be at the high risk OB office for our anatomy scan and cervical check. I had taken 1/2 the day off for this appointment. Today we should be getting the awesome scan of his heart and brain and parts that we had too early. Today was the day we were supposed to get the results of the gender tucked neatly away in an envelope or box to open next week at Christmas together as a family. Today was supposed to be another new day of possibilities. Instead, today is filled with more heartache.

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. My heart aches for you. I think about you and your DH all the time. Take care.

I've used Natural Calm for years - it's a calcium magnesium powder that you add to water or juice.

It works pretty well for me. Just be careful of the dose - you want to start out with a "less is more" approach. If you use too much it will be obvious, b/c you'll have loose stools...

So sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I think you're right and as much as you're able to shut out the thoughts and feelings during the day, they won't leave you alone at night. Have you considered therapy? It might help just to have someone to talk to or work through some of your emotions.

Thinking about you...

I am sorry that today was meant to be a joyful day and instead so heart breaking.
There is nothing I can do or say to take this away or make you feel better. Just letting you know that we are all thinking of you and are here for you.

My heart breaks for you girl. I wish there was something we could all say to make it any easier, but I know there isn't. Just know that you are on our minds at this difficult time.
