How all of this started - During the summer I started have severe pain in my abdomen I went in to see a general practitioner and they sent me to a gynecologist specialist. After he made me cry during the exam he decided that it was time to take a look and see if I had endometriosis. I had a laproscopy at the end of August where they found stage 3 (out of 4) endometriosis. They also found a surprise hernia and a 3cm cyst on my right ovary. After 2 weeks of recovery my pain was the exact same so I went back to the doctor had a CT scan and they discovered that it had come back with a vengeance plus a cyst back on my right ovary and this time it was bigger. We decided to go for the lupron injections (of course I had all the awful side effects) so after 2 months of that I decided it was time to try to have a family. When discussing this with my doctor he was shocked that I thought I would be able to conceive. It was his opinion that I would need help if that was going to happen and even then it was only a slight chance due to all of the scarring and where the endometrial tissue was as well as with the cyst on my ovary. (still there) We have seen a fertility doctor and all they could tell us to do for right now is wait until my body goes back to normal from the injections. It has been almost 3 months since my last injection and we are still in a holding pattern.
Pictures from the surgery I had in August do NOT scroll down if you cannot handle blood.
