![]() ''Oh, and come back and see in a year when you've been unable to conceive, if that's what you want'' she added.Īnd that was my terrible introduction to the crazy world that is life with endometriosis. She recommended that I go to see my GP to have the Mirena coil fitted. ''Bad news, you have endometriosis and it's really bad, it's EVERYWHERE''. I remember waking up from my first laparoscopy with my surgeon hovering over me. My fertility journey with severe endometriosis and adenomyosis: An ode to Heal Endo. See, good things can happen to endo-warriors :) This is her story in her own words, below. ![]() What happened? Almost 3 months to the day Claire was pregnant! I cried I was so happy for this amazing woman. Her previous "endo diet" of restriction was pushed to the curb, and in came the big guns of deep nutrition I speak of so much on this site. I reminded her it took 3 full months for both egg and sperm to mature, and then we set about making a nutrition program that Claire diligently undertook. I adored Claire to pieces, so I offered to work with her to help build her body up (her husbands too) for pregnancy. She and her wonderful husband had been trying for over 2 years by that point. We became new age pen pals.Ĭlaire was also trying to get pregnant. She's basically a British bad-ass endo-warrior who, in her soft spoken way, helps people listen and understand what endometriosis means. A reason I think to find myself extremely lucky! And something I will be sure to never let happen again! Anyway I plan on finishing up the blog I’m in the middle of writing over the weekend and will hopefully have it up by Monday.Turns out Claire isn't just a good writer, she also is deeply involved in the endo community as an activist, awareness raiser, and volunteer (check out the video on the right). But I am so lucky that my friends still love and accept me as they always have. I have been so blessed to have the most amazing friends on this earth and if I lose them I will have no one to blame but myself. And eventually my friends will give up on inviting me to hangout when they know it’s only ever one answer from me, and i can’t even blame them. That truth is whether I decide to sit alone day after day and do nothing and continuing to shut everyone whom I love out, the world spins on. It feels like so many more days than not you just watch as the world keeps spinning by, and somehow at this point in my depression I’ve finally truly embraced something I’ve always known, but sometimes the only truth you know can be the hardest to face. So many days, at this point years have passed, and I’ve watched the people I love doing wonderful things with their lives. ![]() To know even if I feel like i want to give up on one of those really hard days pain wise, and it’s so hard to see the point in continuing on fighting the same battle over and over for just more days to be in pain. I never knew so many peopled cared to really know my story and that in itself means so much to me. If even just one Endo sister, or anyone who suffers in anyway finds help or comfort or just knows she or he is not alone! Then this is all so worth it. Even though this blog has been even more difficult and emotional for me then I already had anticipated it would be for me to write, I already know I will never regret this! Just that you took the time to even read it means more to me then you all could even know!Īt first i started this blog in the hope it would help with my severe depression that has been getting worse over the last six months, and just a overall hopeless feeling that has continued to grow inside me. Whether you are a close friend or family member, a fellow Endo and or I.C sister/someone who suffers with a chronic illness and/or chronic pain or someone who never knew who I was till you stumbled along this blog. Since that is the case, I wanted to take a few minutes in-between writing the new entry to really say thank you to everyone who has taken their own personal time to read my blog. So it’s taking even more time than I expected it to. ![]() I just wanted to take a second to really thank everyone’s overwhelming love and support! I’m currently writing my next blog entry but since it’s about basically my whole history with Endo its gonna be a long one. ![]()
