About Me

Hi, I joined DS after miscarriage and being diagnosed with endometriosis. We were TTC and the miscarriage lasted 4 months and ended in a ruptured tube. I then had to have my other tube removed, then had 1 failed IVF attempt and 1 successful FET. In total I had 5 surgeries trying to have my son and a million tears were shed. At age 9 my periods hurt a lot - & 25 yrs later was diagnosed w/ Endometriosis. Symptoms include: chocolate cysts, wonky tubes (since removed), IBS, back pain, UTI symptoms and sometimes (oh joy) feels like appendicitis. I was diagnosed after a lap surgery where they were removing a \'cyst\' turns out it was an ectopic pregnancy, I joined DS to get support for physical and emotional pain. I was in extreme back pain 3+ yrs before diagnosis. The pain reduced after 2 laps to remove endo but quickly came back after the birth of my son. In the end I decided on a total hysterectomy plus removal of one ovary, my tubes, and my appendix. Through this surgery I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis. Now for a slow recovery.
