I found out I had Endometriosis a year ago. I have had all the symptoms ever since I had my first menses but no doctor ever mentioned this condition. Cramps are normal, every woman has it. Suck it up.
I have been trying to get pregnant for the last two years. Tired of having people constantly telling me to relax and that it will happen when I least expect it, I decided to go to my gynecologist and he sent me to a specialist.
First thing, blood tests, ultra sounds, sperm count… everything looks fine. With a weird feeling I go to the last test in the list: HSG. The Hysterosalpingogram (what an awful name) showed that both tubes were blocked. Few months later I had a Laparoscopy and it was confirmed: Endometriosis Stage II.
For my surprise the fallopian tubes were flushed and they were open. So nothing had to be removed. The doctors decided to not remove the scar tissue that is pulling my left fallopian tube to the side and probably causing tubal infertility. They say removing the tube would cause more damage than improve my actual situation.
I started Clomid and IUI this summer. All BFN. Today is the end of my third cycle. I feel hopeless and I am starting to lose my faith. I am tired of the waiting. I am tired of this pain. I am sick and tired of endometriosis.
I will be doing, reading and researching everything that is out there about endometriosis.
Please, stop telling me to relax and join me in this journey. Bring information and your own experience.
There must be an answer out there.
