Update for my wonderful DS friends!
I've had a lot of hugs being given lately, I havn't been able to reply to them all so I thought I would write a journal entry.
Firstly thank you everyone! I'm so touched you're thinking about me =)
In regards to my health it deteriorates each day, I'm on ALOT of medication, and I was also diagnosed with PCO - I was told I'd need help to fall pregnant. But of course I'll give myself 6 months to see if God will bless us with a child. We've decided to start trying for children within 3-4 years. I've been told to have my family done by 27 - we're happy with 1 child if thats all God will bless us with =) We're also coming to terms with if we can't have children, I now have Stg. IV endo (aggressive), Adenomyosis and PCO along with a retroverted uterus. I know miracles happen each day and with medicine the way it is I am sure we'll be parents but we have to prepare for if that doesnt happen also.
Although my health deteriorates and I'm doing everything I can, I still have to work and I am continuing with school. Doing both leaves me with 0 energy and often leaves me in agony. But Im trying my hardest and I am praying hard to God it'll be worth every agonising day in the end. I often feel down and depressed and I have decided to seek a new psychologist who specalises in endometriosis and fertility issues.
For now to manage my periods I have the mirena in and I am on the pill, I am also on meds to help the side effects of these medications as I react HORRIBLY to the pill. It was hell to get use to the mirena...and after bleeding non stop for 8 months I had a 6 week break when the pill started, the last 3 weeks I have had horrible and PAINFUL break through bleeding. I'm hoping its not my body rejecting everything again. After a few opinions everyone concludes I am going to need a hysterectomy in my future, for now I'm trying my hardest to maintain some sort of quality of life.
Jason and I have booked a holiday to hawaii and we leave on the 16th of Feb =) My nan left me some money when she passed away and i've used it for some much needed R & R instead of purely all for medical issues...my doctors are extremely happy as its very much needed for both Jason and I.
Well, this is all for now, I hope you're all going well =)
Sending my love!
