Hi guys,
Something happened to me yesterday and I really want to get it off my chest (it's really upset me).
3 years ago I was diagnosed with sever endometriosis after I had disabling pains in my belly (sometimes I could only manage to crawl it was that bad). I didn't want kids at the time so I was put on the injection which stopped my periods and stopped the endo pain. I came off the injection last year and my periods got back to normal, trying to conceive, everythings fine...
So anyway, been on clomids since April and I was 2 weeks late for my period which I got on Saturday. It was extremely heavy and came with stomach cramps. It just so happens though that I had a blood test before I came on.
Yesterday I gradually started getting pain and I couldn't stand properly, I then went as white as a piece of paper and went dizzy and started slurring my words!! paramedic came out to work and they wanted me to go to the hospital, I didn't want to go so promised them I would go to docs.
Went to docs - they told me 2 things:-
1 - Based on my blood test I am severely aneamic and because of all the blood I lost since the test, my body went into a state of shock. Doc was suprised i didn't faint!!
2 - the endometriosis pain is coming back
The aneamia I don't mind as that can be solved with iron tablets. But the only way to stop the endometriosis pain is to go back on the injection or have a hysterectomy (strong painkillers do not help in the slightest). So my options are, try fr a baby and have severe pains every month or go on the injection!!
I really want kids and I feel that I have no choice but to bear the pain
