Period pains from Hell !!!

by ivfdiary on Jul.25, 2010, under IVf

Well I am finally writing on my blog I am not sure if this post will work as I am emailing it into our account. Let’s see I guess

Today I am in so much pain, I have been suffering all week but it is really bad today. I still get a terrible sad feeling when my period comes as it means another month of no success but the physical pain I get with it due to my endo is awful. I have real bad pains and cramps all over my abdomen particularly on my left side. I also get a really bad left knee for a few days which is a bit weird! I have to dose up on so many pain killers just to get through it and it last for 2 weeks. I have been telling myself that having another child might help clear up a bit of my endo. While they are growing in my belly they can keep busy by cleaning up a little The surgeons have been in there and had a go but to be honest I don’t really feel much benefit from it.

On the plus side we have gone for a few days holiday on the English south coast. I am sure that will take my mind off it for a while, I just wish Max didn’t have to go to work while we are away

Well I best get back to suffering and smiling and maybe I can post a bit more often now I have broken my duck Hopefully when I get started on the IVF the monthly suffering might stop fingers crossed!!
