My follow up appointment-
On tuesday I had my follow up appointment from the laparoscopy at the hospital. It wasn't Mr Newman who i was expecting but another consultant apparently there was a mix up but it didn't matter because he was nice and I can't remember his name oops.
Delayed Period-
The first thing I wanted to talk about was the delay of my period he asked me if I had taking a test and I said yes he then asked me if I would like to take another one as there tests are more sensitive. I said no and he asked me why and this is when I got upset. I just explained to him that there was no point in me doing it because I knew what the answer would be. Anyway after wiping my tears away I agreed to take the test, I made my way to the toilet and did my buisness in those annoying little pots which I either end up weeing on my hand or on the outside of the pot. sorry if that was to much information. I did wash the outside of the pot before I handed it over to the nurse :) oh yeah did I mention that the test was NEGATIVE. If only he had listened to me in the first place he could of saved himself a test and saved himself from my tears haha.
Laparoscopy results-
He spoke about the findings from the laparoscopy and I got to see the lovely pictures of my womb again. It was nice seeing them more clearly as last time I was high from the anesthetic. The first thing he spoke about was my fallopian tubes and that there could be a chance that my tube isn't blocked after all he explained that sometimes when the dye is passed through It can cause your tube to spasm and another thing he said it could be is a build up of mucus. He then spoke about the endometriosis and said that it shouldn't affect me getting pregnant. (yay some good news).
X ray and dye test- (Hysterosalpingogram)-(read more here)
The not so good news is that I have to get my fallopian tubes checked again and this time I will be wide awake while they poke about in my private area lol. He said he didn't want to put me through another laparoscopy. So I have been told to take painkillers before I have this done as it is painful :( .
Clomid, IUI and IVF-
The consultant spoke to us about the different treatments and what we would like to do next. we have got three months to think about it before I go back for my next appointment which i recieved a letter for today. Me and Thomas have been talking and I think we are going to start with Clomid (read more here). Then if that doesn't work we will then try IUI (read more here) Hopefully the clomid or the IUI will work because IVF (read more here) is something that I don't even want to think about.
Endometriosis uk- (read more here)
Since being diagnosed with endometriosis I have come across a page on facebook called Endometriosis uk which also has a facebook group which is full of lots of friendly ladies who are all suffering with this disease.
* After tuesday I am feeling a bit more positive and that we are finally getting somewhere I have come to the conclusion that we are probably not going to be able to conceive without medical help. So I am going to take and try everything I can. I just hope that going through all this, the operation all the tests and medication will one day be worth it.
Thanks for reading this post on our journey
love Kirsty xx
