Hey!! Hey!!!

[Janet]

You are going to be starting the new year off in a great way Tink. Just you and hubby for the year 2008, how nice.

Now once their out, stick to your guns and make them stay on their own...it will make them stronger. What would they do if you and hubby weren't around?

I'm here! I've just been feeling really sick for the past few days so I haven't been online very much. My medication was supposed to help the pain I've been having from endometriosis, but it didn't help at all. In fact, I think it may have gotten worse. Luckily, I am due for another appointment in a little less than two weeks. Hopefully they'll be able to do something to help.

Maybe the site will be more active after the new year when things calm down a little and we all have more time to be here.

Angie you may have to have it lasered off by having a laparoscopy. Really it's no big deal, I've had it done twice. Go in through the navel so there is no scar, laser it off, back home the same day. A little uncomfortable for a few days, but better than the pain. The endometriosis won't get better, only worse. Don't wait to long, okay?

Do you know how expensive the procedure is? We get new financial aid money in the first week or two of January so it may be possible. I think I'm also going to ask about seeing a fertility specialist when I go for my next appointment. I didn't want to mention this before because I didn't want to be a downer during the holidays, but I was SO sad at times during Christmas. In the past, Bren and I have always talked about how we would celebrate Christmas with OUR children some day, what traditions we would pass on, new ones we would make, etc. Every time one of those thoughts came to mind, it would take a lot to hold back the tears. I never knew the possibility of not having children could make someone so sad...

I'm so sorry {{{{{{Angie}}}}}} I really think that you need to see about getting your appointment rescheduled for sooner especially since you're having trouble.

I don't remember how expensive it is, but Angie, if you want children it shouldn't matter. The endometriosis doesn't get better, in fact it causes scaring. Please don't wait to see a fertility specialist.

The doctor says I already have a lot of scaring. I hope it isn't too much. I will definitely see a specialist... I'm just afraid they'll tell me it's too late...
