I have a question. It's 3 months sense my lap and my periods are heavier than ever before and bad clots ( sorry TMI) is that normal and part of the process or is this something else that I can add to my list to talk to the Dr about.

You should talk to the doc, but 2 months after my lap last year I had crazy heavy bleeding with clots (it might be earlier in this rant, I'm not sure). I had never had anything like it in the past, but then over time my periods got lighter. My specialist had no idea but was quite reassuring when I left work and called in tears! I think heavy bleeding with no true cause (like a fibroid) can be a frustrating mystery.

So much pain today, I'm pretty bummed. I was trying to take things easy and I don't think stress flared anything but I had to skip a family event today. And I went back to bed- I never do this! Argh!! I was so nauseous earlier I was nervous my small bowel was acting up, but now I think it was pain-related. Stupid body!! Sigh.

 Here's hoping today is better for you and you don't have to miss out on anything else! That's the worst disappointment - wanting to do something, but having to give in to your body's demands. Sucks. |

>.< Ugh. 1000mg of naprosyn should really be putting a bigger dent in this cramping agony.

So the first day of my period was ok, a bit painful but nothing like usual. Been dealing with migraines almost non stop though, anyone else deal with this problem? Then yesterday (day 2 of my period) I called my mum, in a heap on the floor of the lounge feeling like I was going to pass out any minute. She came over and dosed me up on painkillers and I felt a bit better, just read my book all day on the couch. Now on day 3, I can't stop crying. I can't get a job as I have pelvic, back and migraine pain everyday (it all revolves so on any one day I have something). My partner is in a job he hates but is supporting me as well as his daughter part time. I feel so lost!! My anger has gone into dispair as I feel more and more hopeless by the day. I want to bash things!! But I know that if I do he'll have to pay for them, or my mum (who has been great) and I am just so SICK of putting on a brave face. I HATE this disease, had my surgery in April and haven't had pain like this since before then. It's back, I can just feel it. I can't face another surgery, I can't get a job, I can't look after my partner like a woman should. I would be a completely different person if endo didn't exist. And I'm so angry at myself for feeling sorry for myself. I hate everything coz it's just so hard. I hate being a burden, I hate myself for finding it hard to love my step daughter, and on top of that I think I've just had another miscarriage. Life like this is just too hard. I'm sorry for being a sad sac, it's just that this is the only place I know of where I can just vent, coz no one around me truely understands what it's like - except my partner's ex who hates me for being a better mother to her daughter. Gah!!

Who ever decided it was ok for women to bleed monthly??
& What is up with the Always commercials and having a "Happy Period" there is no such thing as a happy period!! Ok maybe when I was much younger and was late with a scare and another time late with a guy who was not really favourable I had a "Happy Period MOMENT" lol...
But I find it hard being happy about being ripped apart inside with a pain that is like a dozen knives stabbing, and twisting in me, with a pressure like my vagina is about to fall off and pressure of something squeezing my ovaries like they are some kind of stress-balls !!! I told my Dr. it is like there is some kind of party going on inside and my ovaries are the dance floor, first time she heard it put that way lol.
And you guessed right I am on my period LOL!
Happy Period ppfffffttttt

Its day 1 of my period:( Day 1 and 2 are the worst in terms of pain and heavy bleeding. These are the days I would love to stay in bed all day and have my husband bring me oat bags areound the clock.
Instead I'm on my way to work where I will likely work a 9 to 10 hour day. I don't feel sorry for myself but knowing what my week will be bringing to me makes me sad. I try to stay positive but the anticipation of this excrutiating pain makes it difficult to say the least.
I hate my period but if I'm ever to have a child (not likely at this point) its a neccessary evil. On days like this I'm not sure which I want more a child or menopause.
That's my rant.I know you all understand.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain, struggler. It really sucks going to work when you know that you will be miserable all day. I also understand your frustration with needing to have a period to try to get pregnant. I was recently told that I don't ovulate and that my ovaries are covered in cysts, so getting pregnant naturally most likely won't happen for me either. Just plain torture. Right now I am on Day 1 of my first period post-lap and man is it hellish, much worse than after my first lap. I am also stuck at work, really wish I would have called in sick or had a medical leave pt. 2 for it. I am sitting at my desk and curling up in my chair every few minutes, trying not to groan and disturb the students (I am a librarian for a university). My usual peak pain treatment (1 celebrex, 1 tylenol, 1 tylenol #3) is doing zilch and I can't take any more of the Tylenol #3 since I am at work. I guess I will be canceling my plans for tonight On the plus side, getting my period means that I am able to get my Day 3 blood drawn on Monday, which will hopefully answer some questions about hormonal imbalances. Gotta try to see the silver lining! |

Thanks for your response. I'm glad you are focusing on the silver lining. I know how hard it can be to see it through the pain at times. Having hope and staying positive is all we have sometimes.
I'm 40 years old and so my age and my endo are a big factor in whether or not I can get pregnant. Part of me thinks I should give up on this dream but a bigger part believes I'm meant to be a Mom. I will continue to hope and maybe one day I will be blessed with a child. I will live with whatever happens. Time will tell.
I hope you find the answers you need.
