The Verdict is in…

For the past several months I have had extreme amounts of pain when it was that time of month. The pain would be so bad that they only thing I could do for the first few days of my period was sit in bed and wait for the pain to pass. I went to two different doctors explaining my pain and each one of them just put me on a form of birth control which ended up making me sick. Finally a friend of my moms who has had the same issue recommended Dr. Martin. My first visit with him I told him my history and instead of saying let’s fix it with birth control he said birth control hasn’t worked we should take the next step. The next steps were either having a Laparoscopy done, having a series of shots that send your body into metaphase for six months, or get pregnant. Since I am egger to finish school first I ruled out getting pregnant and it also doesn’t give me an answer to the problem, and the shot scared me and still kind does. (Plus I don’t think Jesse can handle me going through metaphase thirty years to early!) So I went with Laparoscopy. The surgery went well and today I went back for my post appointment and I have endometriosis. The lovely scar tissue that is formed because of it was all over my bladder and my left ovary. Dr. Martin removed all the scar tissue and now we get to play the waiting game. I get to see how I feel over the period of a few months to see if it worked or if I am still in pain it means that there might still be some left it was just too small for Dr. Martins eyes. If that is the case the next step would be doing the shots but I am not sure if I want to do that. We just might have to get pregnant since I know what is causing all the pain. But thank you Dr. Martin for helping figure out what was causing all that lovely pain. :)
