    • Close Endometriosis

      I'm 27 years old and have had severe, debilitating pain during and around my periods for about 8 years. I always thought I was just a wuss. I wasn't. I was tentatively diagnosed in July (2007) and had my first lap in August. I have Stage 2 Endo and huge ovarian cyst problems. If I take enough Percocet, I can get through my periods, but my husband and I really want to get pregnant...this is our struggle.

      Treatments

      Surgery Too Soon to Tell
      I had a laparoscopy about 2 weeks ago. The surgeon burned off all of the Endo he found, but I don't know if it has made a difference in my pain.
      Aygestin Too Soon to Tell
      I've been on Aygestin since my surgery. My doctor wants to stop my periods/ovulation long enough to heal from the reconstruction he had to do on my left ovary. Then, we'll start talking about fertility drugs in January 08.
    • Close Infertility
      Type: Endometriosis

      My husband and I have been ttc for about one year. In July (2007) I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and had a huge cyst that had basically taken over my left ovary. After a laparoscopy to drain the cyst and surgically reconstruct it, and burn off the endo, we are starting with Aygestin to give me time to heal. I think I'll probably be using Clomid to try again in January 2008.

      Treatments

      Basal Thermometer Somewhat Helpful
      Helpful to find out when I'm ovulating, but it turns out, timing wasn't the problem.
      Aygestin Too Soon to Tell
      I'm currently taking Aygestin for treatment of Endometriosis and to stop ovulation/periods so it doesn't get worse while I heal from surgery. I'm looking forward to January when we can talk about Clomid/etc and start really trying again!
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I've been overweight as long as I can remember. But I was recently diagnosed with Endometriosis and Ovarian cysts. I'm trying to get pregnant, but I'm on a hormonal ovulation suppressing drug right now, so I have 4 months before we can start trying again. In that time, I'd like to lose 30-40 pounds to hopefully have a healthier pregnancy.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I walk with my niece (9mo) for about an hour every morning.
      Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I finally went to see a doctor about my horrible headaches. They hit completely randomly and leave me bedridden in a dark, quiet room for up to 24 hours at a time. He thinks it's Migraines, but because they are always on the same side, he's ordering a CAT scan for next week.

      Treatments

      Excedrin Somewhat Helpful
      Excedrin Migraine used to help a little, but not enough.
      Midrin Working / Worked
      Only taken so far for one migraine, but it definitely helped. Although, I feel a little more nauseous now after taking them...and a little "hungover"
      Naproxen Not Working
      Took for years for headaches. Didn't touch them.
