Hi everybody,
I am married in 2000. Last year my doctor told me I have Endo. I am 28
yrs now. I never knew that I had this. My Menstrual cramps increased
after my Marriage. My doctor, in my home Country,adviced me to take
Danazol, but I moved to another country at that time,with my Husband.
So, I had to depend on whatever my current doctor says. Now in this
country , my current doctor advised me not to use any medicine . Instead
she asked me to go for pregnancy. So we are on that from 6 months, no
luck. My Gyn. suggested me to meet a Rep. Specialist, to whom we r
going now. I am not sure how I will end up. I want children. This
doctor(Rep. Specialist)advised me to go for clomid for 2 months and if
it doesn't workout, I may have to go for Intrauterine........u know THAT
procedure.
I don't want it like that. I may go for that but Only If I fail in
every other trial. may be that becomes my last option. Now I am
getting a feeling that I am late. Some of my friends say that it's too
early to say anything about my infertility for I just started the
journey and it is very common for many women. See, in my case, I have
been moving from one place to another every six to 8 months after my
marriage. U know how stressed is life for me. Endo inc. it's
intensity when u r more in stress. So, let's just cool down & relax. I
think for u there is every chance now. Even me, I still have hope. God
is Great. So, nobody lose hope . You will conceive with no problem.
I know this is not a reply for anything. But my advice is that please
try to conceive as soon as possible. Do not delay especially when ur
diagnosed with Endo.
