I got a call today from the surgeon's secretary, asking if I'm well enough to go in tomorrow for the op. Well, probably not, and with everything going on with my uncle I can't afford to be laid up right now. Gutted.

I'm sorry my memory is rubbish, have you had a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy yet? And can they do a basic pelvic ultrasound to see if they can spot any endo nodes or cysts? Both are usually very quick to book.
I'm glad you were able to call today. Do follow up with your GP too, hopefully he can get other things moving in the meantime. Pain clinic?

Sigmoidoscopy - showed nothing up. Ultrasound (internal and external) - showed nothing up!!!!
I'm going to go back to my GP next week and ask about pain clinic etc, so I'll let you know.
Considering endo affects up to 10% of women, there really is a shortage of research and advancements in this area - we all know this but I'm now seeing it first hand. Or maybe there will be better care when they do finally see me??

I've asked them to consider 2 weeks from now, which would be best for work and other stuff. She said she'll mention it. Apparently surgeon is going on holiday at the end of Feb.

Well, pregnancy can be difficult, so she may be having a hard time. Don't be too harsh. If I were in your shoes I would say something like 'I'm sorry if you're having a difficult pregnancy but I'd give my right arm to be in your position' and that might make her think twice about complaining in front of you.

Here's my bitch lol: About a week ago, my fiance and i are talking being sick and what not, and he said (very ballsey of him if you are me) "Every girl always has something wrong with her, you ever notice that? Every girl has a problem or is sick, and I think they like it that way, it's a good way to get attention, and they will always use it to their advantage" OMG! are you KIDDING me!? NO one chooses to be sick, it just happens (there are people out there that do that yes i know) but wtf! I asked him if he was trying to imply anything, he said no. So i asked him if he thought i enjoyed being sick. He said no not really, you didn't choose it, but you, like every girl use it to your advantage when ever you want. WTF! I'm soooo pissed. how f*cking rude can you get! I mean really, the one person who has been so supportive of me, and this is what you have to say to me? Ugh! ok, i feel better now |

Smack him! lol. Yeah all men say odd things from time to time. My hubby says stuff like that when he's not getting enough attention! What I do is go sit on his lap and stare deeply into his eyes and look very interested in what he says. Then he quickly changes his tune until he is saying "oh honey, I didn't mean YOU are like that.... just all the OTHER women...." and usually I get a nice sweet apology about then. Also then he will say things like, gosh, those OTHER women haven't even been through HALF of what you have my darling bun. and other similarly nice statements elevating me above the rest of mundane womanhood.... lol!

I am about to loose it. I work with a girl who is pregnant and ever since she got pregnant she complains all the time. ....... Can you guys think of anything that I can say back to her when she starts this BS again to nicely put her in check? Hey Nicole - Girl, I feel you, I know you're not trying to be a BI-OTCH at all just sayin how you feel. I totally relate. the way I deal with it is with a big smile, and not get too involved, and hope that when and if I am ever lucky enough to get knocked up, I have the compassion to restrain myself from either gloating too hard or complaining too much. I know its super hard. Just stay out of her way and feel compassion for her. You know you and me are going to be SO FRICKIN STOKED if we get pregnant, and feel so awesome, that we will be driving people nuts the other way being overly cheery. You know it's just our perspective from this side of the fence that makes it so offensive. That girl is lucky and she doesn't even know it, but its not up to us to fix the universe, just keep it together and smile through the pain if we can. hang inthere honey we will get there.... P |

I hope so too for that baby's sake. sorry you have to hear it every day too. damn I'm so glad I have a door I can close.....
As for me I am pissed off becuase I have my period, and I don't think I ovulated, and i'm confused. but since I'm giving myself all this healing time I need to focus on my next step which is going to the naturopath on thursday next. so that is what I shall do....
On the bright side, it's my 2nd 'normal' period since surgery, and I'm not in horrible agony! Which is pretty awesome and thus does NOT belong to the b1tchfest!
hang in there y'all!

There's a difference between being kind to a pregnant lady, and letting a pregnant lady be a b*tch, and i think we can all agree were this lady stands. sounds like someone needs a cold hard reality check! Just tell her how you feel, and then nicely ask her not to complain to you or around you about the baby, because, well, it's just plain rude. She should imagine what it would be like to be that poor poor baby, i wouldn't even know what to do if i found out that my parents didn't want me so they shipped me off to family elsewhere because of what a hasel it was that i ever happened to be created...
how rude, is all i can keep thinking. This makes my heart sad, i know i am a young mother, but i knew this would be my ONLY chance to have a kid, and it was the best chance i ever took. i tear up even thinking about the what if's, what if i changed my mind? i wouldn't have my beautiful daughter to brighten my day.
i wish more people who SHOULD have kids got the chance!

This is nothing to seriously bitch about, but I am so freaking tired of it snowing here. It's literally snowed almost a week straight and I've had to drive in it because of work. Blah I'm tired of being cold and commuting in crappy weather when other people drive like maniacs. Can't everyone just drive a normal safe speed in the snow.
