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...

Angie, I am sorry your pain got in the way of your holidays and hope you feel better soon.

Don't worry about the unknown yet, just take care of now. I agree with the others, you need to continue with the doctor appts and find out your best options.

Dear Angie,

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well and that you're worried about not having children.

I am glad though that you're goig back to the doctor soon, and gthe money may be available soon too.

As far as the end result, I'm praying for you and Brendon to have the best possible outcome.

Love,

Judy
