OK, so, I have a history of endometriosis. It took me 18 months to get pregnant with Parker, and just when we thought, "I wonder if somethings wrong?" I was pregnant! After Parker was born, I started having terrible pains all the time. I was popping Motrin like tic tac's and my Dr. said this wasn't right. He refereed me to another Dr. who suspected endo, so I set a laperoscopy (exploratory surgery). Once they got in there, they said that the endo had spread over every internal organ. What was supposed to be 45 min outpatient surgery turned into 4 hours and an overnight stay.
After that we weren't sure if we'd be able to have more kids. It took a long 11 month of fertility treatments to finally get pregnant w/ Tater Tot.
When Tater Tot was about 16 months, the pains started coming back and it was decided that I would need another surgery. It was scheduled for the following Friday. That Monday morning, I woke up and for some reason took a pregnancy test and low and behold, I was pregnant with Drew!!!!
Well, here we are and Drew is 12 months and the pain is back and worse than ever. I wonderful primary ordered an u/s because I had a period that lasted 30 days. It showed that I had a cysts on my left ovary and my lining was measuring on the thick side. She then refereed me to a specialist. I went in last Wed for another u/s and it shows that the cysts is now 6 cm and the ovary is enlarged, and my lining is now measuring 3-4 times the size it should. Now they are talking about possibly removing the ovary as well. Best case scenario, I have another really bad endo flair up that has spread onto my ovary, worse case, cancer in the uterine lining and ovary. I go back to the dr today and should have a surgery date set.
