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!

Let yourself be known
Okay, so, I'm asking for all my stalking real life friends and family to let yourself be known. I don't mind you following along, I just want to know who will be ahead of any news curve there may or may not be in the next few weeks. I've already had one confession!
Love you, and, thanks for following... now fess up! ;)
Me :-) Sometimes...actually very sporadically - so I may or may not be ahead of the news curve. I can either try harder or lay off if you would prefer consistency :-) Email me though ;-) I love you!
My name is Karen I have endo as well. I am in the process of getting ready for a DE cycle. This will be my second, about a 1 1/2 ago we used DE and donors eggs were not good.
I'm a stalker. Not in a weird, creepy way (I hope), just an interested, wishing you the best kind of way. I started reading early on at the same time as your other blog. If you would rather me not, just say the word. :)
I found you a while back (and made a few comments). I also have endo and was feeling alone one night so I went on a hunt for sisters. You are one I found and I keep you in my thoughts as I do all the endo sisters. It is not an easy road and we need to support each other. You can stalk me to if you want but I am kind of odd so I am not sure anyone appreciates my blog...lol I talk about my disease, family and things that I find funny. I wish you all the luck with your fertility!
i confess - i lurk and read :) stage 3 endo diagnosed last year and like you had a 2nd trimester miscarriage (22 weeks). His name was Matthew and i think about him all the time.Hope this makes me less of a lurker.
I wish you all the best in this cycle and hope you have another BFP. Has your Dr suggested a cerclage with future pregnancies?

My name is Karen I have endo as well. I am in the process of getting ready for a DE cycle. This will be my second, about a 1 1/2 ago we used DE and donors eggs were not good.
We hope to have TR first week or so in Dec.
I hope and pray for a strong beta..........

Hey,
It's duck, I'm always reading along, but not often saying anything as it's sometimes hard to comment from the ipad.
Still cheering for you,
guilty.
