my story (its long...sorry)
So im about to be 23, and my husband and i have been ttc for a year and 3 months. Before i get into all of that this is what happened before i met him again and gor married....
I've been going to my gyno since i was 14, I've always had horrible cramps. They would be so bad I couldn't walk, I'd miss school, and I'd just want to stay home and cry. When I'd talk to my girlfirends they wouldn't talk like i did about their time of the month. Thats when i met my Gyno....since i wasn't sexually active at the time she just put me on the lowest amount of birth control, saying that it should take the pain down. From 14-18 i took birth control pills, I still had periods, they decreased to 3 or 4 days from 7 or 8 days. I still had pain but not as bad....THEN from 18ish-20 i went to the depo. She told me "Oh it will help your pain so much more and you'll have a period every other month, and we'll do this for a year and then take you off." Mind you I haven't been off any birth control and the whole time I'm on the depo i didn't have one single period or spotting. Well here comes my 20th birthday and i am late for my Depo shot by 3 days, I am in so much pain when i show up im crying, cant sit, i feel like i cant really walk, and of course my doctor left for the day 5 minutes before i got there. Thankfully there was another doctor in the building. He saw me immediately gave me my shot, some medicine one of the nurses had and told me he wanted to do blood work. I go down the hall and they do my blood work and i leave. I get a call a couple of days later asking to come see him in his office. He sat me down and all he told me was "You have endometriosis and for being your age its very high. Higher than i thought it would be. Its at a 75." Im young, crying, and have no idea what hes talking about. i ask him to explain but he said my doctor would have to do that.
So we are at the point now i have to set up my laposopy. I just finally get off my birth control a month before. As i get out of surgery she hands my mom photos of my insides....she said it was worse than she thought. I had a blood clot on my left ovary, endometriosis on my colon that couldn't get and endometriosis on all of my walls, uterus, and bladder. I end up having to do Zoladex for 6 months. Then right back on more birth control pills. I take birth control pills until im 21. That's when i remeet mt now husband. I went to my doctor and asked how high my chances are to get pregnant. she told me less than 20%. i cried. i stopped taking my birth control. We never used condoms and we wanted to see what would happen.
Well 5 months ago she put me on metformin twice a day, for ang one who takes it, im not sure about you but i get very sick.
And i still can't produce my own periods..so she gave me a Medroxyprogesterone to take 10 nights and it will make me have a period. I have only had 7 periods since my surgery almost 2 years ago in December. And we are about to have to do another Progesterone and start clomid. we are nervous and excited to see how clomid works. I've read a lot of stories and it gives me hope. I know mine is long but i hope it helps someone.or just lets them in and see what ive gone through. its been so hard on me lately. Ive taken pregnancy test thinking it might be positive this time only to be negative, and then it seems like everyone is getting pregnant or having babies and i just cry. im thankful my husband helps me understand that God will give us a baby when the time is right. I just keep praying and enjoying my time with my husband.
