Going to the Doctor tomorrow...
I'm a little nervous to see my OB/GYN tomorrow. I have been having a lot issues lately that I believe are related to my endometriosis. It seems that every month since coming of BC, about 4 months ago, I have been having more and more issues. First my cramps came back full-force (to the point that I am in pain for hours and unable to even wear underwear because the pressure on my abdomen is too much), then I started having some constant cramp-like pain in my lower abdomen, then urinary problems (incontinence, blood, etc) that were not caused by a UTI. My back is killing me more than normal and my mood is all over the place. I'm just so worried that my endometriosis has gotten worse, and I have a feeling that I may have some tissue in both my digestive tract and bladder. This probably means I will need a laparoscopy. I guess I will find out tomorrow.
I'm just nervous. DH and I have been "semi-TTC" (not using protection, but not TTC every day of the week) with no luck so far. It's been about 4 months since coming off my BC, so I know it could still take a while longer, but I just get a bad feeling that since my symptoms have gotten so bad so quickly that I may need a laparoscopy to be able to get pregnant. My mom was actually the one to mention this. She also has endometriosis, and had to have a laparospcopy to relieve symptoms. I don't know if she did it before or after getting pregnant though.
Sorry for the rambling, and I know this isn't the ideal board for this topic, but I feel like I know you all a little better and I could really use some positive encouragement or insight from someone is the same, or similar, position.TIA
Re: Going to the Doctor tomorrow...
I have no insight in this topic but I want to wish you luck at your appointment tomorrow and sending you positive vibes!!
GL
I'm sorry you're having complications.
Lots and lots of luck at the doctor!I hope he can give you more insight into the issues you've been having. Sending positive vibes your way!
(BTW, I had a friend who recently had to have laproscopy for endometriosis. It wasn't too bad. She had to stay home for a week to recover, but she feels soooo much better now. She says it was totally worth it to go through the procedure.)
