Well i went on monday for my post op, I have to say that i was a little disapointed in the results of my surgery. i guess without thinking about it. I asumed that they removed everything they found...Well here is the case> They removed a bunch of the scar tissue from my c sections, they removed the tissue and growth cause by the endometriosis, but they COULDN'T remove the endometriosis at all. It was all surrounded by tiny blood vessels and tiny nerves...she said it was too risky to remove and it is worse then it looks cause the endo flares out once it gets past the first layer of visable tissue....So her and i had already discussed prior about putting me on the depo lupron shot...but now she encouraged it more and immediately..the reason why is because she said my body has made me into a ticking time bomb for fertility...she wants me on the 6months of the lupron to try to treat the endo i have and prevent more from comming, then after that I have 6 months to concieve again. So basically i Have a year from now but i can only utilize 6 months of it. It usually takes approx 2 months to get your period back after the shot so technically i will probably only have 4 months.....the reasoning behind the time frame is because 1. the scar tissue she removed has weakened my uterus and overtime it will only get weaker. 2. the lupron shot after 6 months can trick the body into adapting to the menopausal state that it puts you through, causeing me to not become pregnant, and 3. Cause a main side effect to endo is infertility, and considering she could remove ANY of the endo that i have already. my future fertility isnt looking good at all.......So hopefully between 6 months and a year i will be back on here all hormonal and everything.....oh wait i already am cause this shot freaken stink!! hot flashes and all!....Anyways guess i kinda needed to vent about it on here, cause i am really worried and stressed about all this. the shot scares me cause it seems so permanant or somthing, getting pregnant scares me...what if i cant get pregnant? Plus i have a history of miscarriages already, i dont want anymore, especially when i know i have a time frame.

Thank you amanda. I am anxious to get pregnant again, but we didn't plan on it for a few more years. Before I said if I can't have more kids, I wouldn't pity myself for it cause I already have two wonderful boys, and there are people who can't have any or try for YEARS to concieve, but I guess since I am excited about having another one, and all the problems that have arised so quickly, now I am terrified of what the outcome will be...but man I am excited to be one of the hormonal women on here again! Lol

Aw haha. I hope you do get pregnant and bless the world with another beautiful child! If you can conceive with a condom that didn't break, you can do anything :P

ummm, aren't you the one who said that you are having all sorts of problems with your dh??? that you are sleeping in separate beds etc. etc. So now you'll just have another baby?? yeah, cuz that's really going to fix everything.....see you back here when you have the kid and start whining how hard it is and how bad things are with your dh now......oh the immaturity is really shining through.

Preppy we have been together for 8 years , if you think that we dont argue, and have rough times here and there then you are nuts and have a lot to learn about life....Yes, we were having a rough time...but we realised TOGETHER that most of it had to do with my medical, always causeing stress, and having us both on our toes...We worked TOGETHER and discussed what each of our problems are. mine with him was that he seems to be stuck in teenager mode somtimes, which is what i meant when i wrote about it before that, we seem to have grown seperate ways. He seemed to act like a teenager all the time like he did years ago. Then someone pointed out to me a few things that made alot of sence...and turned out to be VERY true....So like ADULTS do we sat down and talked for hours and days and sorted through our relationship problems.. second......lol "see you back here when you have the kid"...? Sweetie I already have 3 i dont think we would handle relationship problems any differently with a 4th. I am proud to say that when we have any marriage problems...it is OUR problem...NOT our kids!...and we dont let it near our kids.....Dh and I are best friends even at our worst times...we split up once for a few months years ago and even then we still talked all the time and i talked to him about everything. so regardless on our marital status we are still the best of friends.....besides, if god for bid something happened to my hubby, or if we split up, i wouldnt have kids with anyone else EVER. Say hypothetically speaking we didnt work out our problems and all my problems with fertility and possiblity of not be able to have another baby popped up like it has, chances are very high we would still have a baby becasause we are great at team work, and we are great at raising our kids...I couldnt imagine anyone else being the father of my children...or a stepfather to my children for that matter. so really this was a poor attempt to point out the bad in my relationship. Anyone who knows me on here, knows that i NEVER talk bad about dh, and after i posted about my current relationship preoblems to HELP support a friend with thier own problems i knew someone like you or your friend a___l would come and pick at it all they could. I posted to help a friend, but it turned into more of a vent of mine, and everyone who vents always vent out the worst thoughts and exagerations in their mind....So really get over it. Dh and I have been together too long and have been through too much to not sit down and find out our own issues. So dont worry bout us we will be just fine regarless!!!

Tess...thank you, but really it is okay. like i said I have two wonderful boys so i cant complain.....haha i can only complain about the endo...which i do trust me!! I dont wish it upon anyone! it is so painful, and like you i have a high pain tolerence!

lol amanda, my OB kept saying dont worry, Im sure everything will go fine....Being as sarcastic as i am i said "haha, sounds like you are more worried about my fertility then i am. The women in my family get pregnant off a dirty toilet seat so i find it hard to believe that i will ever have problems getting pregnant unless i make it where i cant" I am worried about not being fertile, but i really just cant picture that being the case. : P

Hello Darante Baby, We were pregnant together last year. I just wanted to say I am sorry about the endo but I have heard lots of positives about the Lupron shot and concieving afterwards. My bf is currently in menopause from the shot because of her endo. It is a last stich effort for her she has been ttc for about 12 years now and has gone through 3 rounds of failed ivf. I did alot of reading for her about Lupron and it seems to work for alot of women.

Hi kimberly i remember you...just dont remember if we talked much. Thank you and i have heard lots of great things about lupron as well..I am sorry about your friend. I really hope it helps for her!...so how is the little one? getting big im sure? When did you have him/her

DB I think you are an amazing mom! Just hearing you talk about your boys always makes me teary eyed. If you have another child they would be soooooo lucky to have you as their mom. Another happy face to add to your family!

 

durante baby - December 5

Aww thank you so much Amanda! Your comment made me teary eyed so i think we are even.. : P ...........Now any tips on haw to get a girl this next time around? lol : )

 

amanda17 - December 5

I read that to increase your chances to get a girl you have to have s_x a while before ovulation because the female sperm lives longer... and I also read that you should hold back from orgasming all together because male sperm seem to be more attracted to the hormone you release when you orgasm than female sperm. Of course who am I to say, my guy's got all female swimmers hahaha

 

durante baby - December 5

lol see i thought what i read was male sperm swim faster, and die quicker, and female sperm swim slower but live longer?.....there is a website where this lady swear that 97% of the time she can gaureentee your choice of s_x of your child....She says there are $ crucial dates for each boy and girl then the rest are 50/50 chances......she said boy chances are increased by dominant alkalinity in the mom, and girls are attracted to the acidity....so it would be about 600. bucks to get all the info and kits to measure your alkaline or acidity, and get those crucial dates....she gaurentees sucess or double money back...her site has been around for about ten years....Im thinking about it but i guess i would feel dumb doing it, and would be REALLY disapointed if it doesnt work.

 

AddyAndVictoriasMommy - December 5

Oh man DB that site sounds interesting lol I'd love to look into it and have a BOY lol
