OK so over the Summer Kevin & I have been discussing the prospect of starting a family. We both know this is probably not going to be the easiest thing to achieve but we are hopeful. I'm due back to my OBGYN on Monday the 13th so we're going to discuss things with them plus my Mum's coming in with us so we have plenty of support. I was told by a fertility specialist about three years ago that I may just need some help from t hem making sure an embryo would attach to my womb but he was very optimistic.
My Doctor's over the years have disagreed with each other as to my fertility. One actually informed me at 18 that I would never be able to bear children & I would need to get my head around that prospect. However, we had a false alarm at the start of Summer. I was showing all signs of being pregnant but then I had flooding before I could take the test. It's a situation where we'll never now for sure whether we were or not. But as I said I know this isn't going to be easy. Then there's the rearing part
:-)
We actually had a discussion about names last night with my Mum & sister. Possibly the most hilarious conversation I've had in weeks. Names like Legolas, Bilbo, Frodo, Gethro & my personal favorite Gollum or Golly for short came out. It's lovely having such a great support network around me which I feel is very important when your dealing with a disease such as Endo.
I haven't had any period now in over a month but have had some flooding & some very bad days where I couldn't move for the pain. But I'm taking it one day at a time & keeping positive.
