I posted a few weeks ago about my period appearing from two different places (if you see what I mean!!) and me having to go to the doctors and convince them that this was happening without them having to check physically!!!
Well, today I went to see a doctor who believed me without trying to fob me off!! She used to be a gynaecologist (sp?) and talked about endometriosis immediately. She told me to only see her from now on.
My weight has also shot up by a stone which I also questioned and the soft hair on the sides of my face seems to be growing longer, which has never happened before. (I do not have a beard!)
She is sending me for some blood tests to check my hormone and thyroid levels.
This will be only the second month that we have been trying for a baby and she told me that it could take one or two years for me to get pregnant!??
She said that I had come to see her at the wrong time if I wanted to be treated for endometriosis as the drugs you have to take will stop you getting pregnant. Anyhow, she said that intestinal endo. would not stop you getting pregnant as it is blood coming into contact with the fallopian tubes that causes problems with pregnancies.
She also said that the endo. would probably disappear after having a baby. I have to wait six months and approach her for help if I'm not pregnant after that.
Has anybody else got endometriosis? and are you finding it difficult to conceive? Do you have intestinal edo?
Is anyone a bit hairy!! (only white/blond hair though!) and has found that this is a hormone problem which has effected their ability to concieve?
