      I was a bad girl today and couldn't wake up this morning to work out. So now I MUST fit it in tonight before going to bed! I just couldn't get up today. I am feeling better, just still having conflicts with myself about the whole doctor thing. I may have my sister call for me LOL...we're gonna talk about it later. She kind of doesn't want me to switch, and then kind of does...so she said we'll chat about it :) She's like my Momma :) How are you doing sweetie? How are you feeling? We have to phone chat again soon that was fun :)

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Endometriosis

      My husband and I have been TTC off and on (more on than off!) for the past 5+ years, with no success. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2003, and had a very large cyst removed, along with my right ovary. I deal with depression, and am now taking Eskaloft (natural and safe), which seems to help! About two months after my surgery, I miscarried, and that is the only pregnancy I've had. I was only 4-6 weeks along. I'm going in for surgery again 7-15 to remove a large mass inside my ovary.

      Treatments

      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Somewhat Helpful
      Used it for January cycle, and now for Feb. cycle. Seems to be pretty easy to read. Lets hope it helps us get our baby!!
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      Has helped bring my levels up.
      Progesterone Cream Somewhat Helpful
      Didn't work just on it's own, but seems to help some with the progesterone supplement.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      Had surgery in 2003, found Endometriosis, took out a cyst the size of a large cantaloupe along with my right ovary. Having surgery again to remove another large cyst, which is inside my left ovary on 7-15-08.
    • Close Pregnancy

      Had surgery in April 2003 to remove large cantaloupe sized cyst, along with right ovary. Was diagnosed with endometriosis. Was pregnant in under two months afterward, but lost the baby at 4-6 weeks, due to taking birth control for hormones. Didn't know I was pregnant until the day I lost the baby. Been trying pretty much ever since, with no luck so far.

      Treatments

      Progesterone Cream Working / Worked
      My progesterone levels were extremely low, but are getting better! Been on the supplement for about 2 years, and they had improved a lot last fall when I went in.
    • Open Endometriosis

      Went into ER because of intense pain in abdomen. Began with a feeling like gas, but only got worse with movement and time. Ended up having surgery that resulted in removal of a large cantaloupe sized cyst, which had engulfed my right ovary. Having surgery 7-15-08 to remove mass inside my left ovary, and whatever Endo as well. Hoping they can save my ovary!!

      Treatments

      Surgery Working / Worked
      Surgery was very painful. Recovery was long and yucky! I thought I'd never get better. Bloating lasted way longer than I thought it would.
    • Open Adoption

      We are thinking about looking into adoption in the future. At this point, I just don't think I am quite ready for that step. But it is definitely an option!

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Struggled with depression as a teen off and on. It became a serious problem early in my marriage, and finally ended in counceling and getting on Prozac. Both helped. The Prozac was a lifesaver!! I don't know what I would have done without it. Then went on Lithium instead since we are TTC, and it seemed to work well enough for a while. Doesn't seem to be working enough right now, and I'm really down lately. Not sure what to do next.

      Treatments

      Lithium Working / Worked
      Seems to work although for some reason my depression had gotten worse during the winter. Mainly with the TTC factor. But this was a healthier route for TTC than Prozac. Started taking Eskaloft (also natural and safe for TTC) in Feb or March, and it has helped a lot.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes it's really hard, and I can't do it at all. But when I'm not depressed, that is me to a T.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Was awesome. It gave me my life back! I was finally my happy, normal self again. Not taking it anymore though. Had no side effects.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Always helps to have positive support.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes helps to get it all out. Doesn't always make me feel better....but it has been a good way of getting it out and trying to understand myself.
