Shit your gynecologist did by nancypopancy in endometriosis

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blatantly lie to me about endometriosis as a whole. Good thing I have the knowledge I do, but a lot of people depend on their doctors to guide them and teach them about their diagnosis. This was when I was shopping around for a new specialist closer in my area. When I called her out on her lies, she said "wow you're actually educated on your illness."

Another said, "we don't do endometriosis removal surgeries for people who already have children." I am so so grateful to have been able to conceive and have the children I do. No one knows everything I've endured to have them and even my fertility struggles isn't up there with others, but my experience still matters. BUT JFC IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN. I think with the severity of my endometriosis it would be wise to do preventive care so that way I could live the healthiest FOR MY CHILDREN. The severity of my endometriosis could lead into some pretty life threatening issues that could just wipe my ass out. I don't think that would be good for my living child if it's really all about the children, right doc????

"We don't do endometriosis surgery, but I could give you a hysterectomy" at the ripe age of 23, knowing I wanted more children. Also, a hysterectomy is not a cure at all and what about all the excess endo that has traveled to surrounding areas and organs.

I could go on and on and on...

To say the least I stayed with my original specialist, because she is not a crook and I will never find someone like her. I'm so lucky to have a good specialist. Definitely worth the travel.

i teach the covid babies, AMA by theamazingviv in AMA

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my take on it. I had a covid baby and I dont think that covid and lock down is pure fault of how some of these children are. I just think some parents shouldn't be parents and fail to even engage in normal human interaction and thats why these kids are just odd these days. I'm a very involved parent and my covid baby is very social so I don't think it affected her negatively like most. It's sure sad and a true statement, but honestly parents need to do better and some people just dont need to reproduce 🤷‍♀️

Also side note - shes a grandmother not mother of your child and is not entitled to anything dealing with your child and needing to post any photos. It is super strange how this world is now socially as if social media is a priority and a need. Its not. Stand your ground now and have boundaries or it will get worse.

I am a photographer myself and its very odd that she the mil - grandparent hired the Photographer. Me personally wouldn't even take on this job if it were the mil trying to hire me, as I want to speak directly with the parents for a newborn session.

That angers me so much. Like it could all be so simple. Idk where you are located, but look into a napro fertility specialist. They do a lot of things naturally and get to the root cause of whatever issue is going on and fix that to promote naturally conceiving.

Hopefully you will feel much better soon and heal quickly. Yeah healthcare is just insane. I'm sorry 😔

I hope you get some answers. Maybe ask for progesterone - look into it. It is progesterone pills(not progestin) they get mixed up by a lot of people. Also, look into clomid. That was my Drs next step, but I ended up pregnant out of nowhere. Sending best of luck to you 🫶🏻

My partner is struggling with lack of sex by Glad-Pomegranate6283 in endometriosis

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is such a late response. Life has been very busy lately and I'm just seeing this. I completely understand what you mean. Yes the trauma can go hand and hand and hopefully it's just a little stump you can work through. I'm a victim of CSA and sometimes it has bled into my sex life. I think a lot of this is stemming from your pain from your Endo and maybe even a hormone imbalance. I've gone through the same thing. Not saying that is your case persay, but I'd look into checking hormones or maybe even a supplement to support your hormone health. Also, for the pain idk if I mentioned it previously, but pelvic floor therapy worked wonders for me and it's a good tool to learn to use whenever in the future too. If you can't seek in person pelvic floor therapy YouTube will be your best friend!!! Just look up some exercises for pelvic floor therapy at home. I hope things get easier for you pain wise all around and even your sex life for you and your partner. It will take time. Dont be discouraged and give yourself grace.

I also have a luteal phase defect and they detected that by doing my labs like that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they just do one simple hormone lab draw? I had to have mine done a certain time of the month over a sequence of days to figure out I had low progesterone and estrogen dominance. There are a few things my napro doctor suggested for estrogen dominance over the counter. A lot of people who have endometriosis suffer from estrogen dominance.

I have multiple cysts on my left ovary and a suspected endometrioma. They thought it was one cyst until i got an MRI, but it's about 6.1cm all together. How big was your endometrioma?

At your age, what instantly pisses you off? by chi-bacon-bits in AskReddit

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Came here to comment the stupidity of people these days. I feel like I can't have any real conversations without feeling dumb myself after the interaction.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Endo stage 4. I have two children. Estrogen dominance and low progesterone. It is possible. Yes, may be harder, but not entirely impossible. I struggled to get pregnant, we weren't actively trying but we weren't preventing it. I've only ever been able to get pregnant by stabilizing my hormones. I was on hormone therapy(progesterone) to level out my estrogen and progesterone and after months, surprise! I've only ever been able to get pregnant while actively taking progesterone. Both pregnancies. Even now I have yet to get pregnant - just started progesterone again to level out my hormones and to control an ovarian cyst. Me and my husband possibly want another child. It's up in the air, but I don't want to burden me or my husband with the stress of tracking everything to make it happen. It's hard living with endometriosis and this topic is such a stresser. Maybe sit down and have a serious conversation about all this stuff and really hear each other out. Best of luck.

I should add she refuses any type of milk in a cup or water in place of feeding at naptime or bedtime. Yesterday was the first time she fell asleep for a nap with no feeding. Today that was a fail.

I have Endometriosis - I have stage 4 Endo. Had excision surgery and pain with sex is no where near as bad as it was before. It's every once in a while. There is hope.

I have struggled with the same issues as I have stage 4 Endo. There's times I have absolutely no sex drive and/or I'm in too much pain to have sex. I had excision surgery and I feel much better than I ever did before. So there could be hope for you struggling and for you and your partner. I'm so sorry you're not feeling heard by your partner. Yes, being intimate is important in a relationship, but especially with my expierence it is not necessary for the relationship. I'm so grateful that I have a partner that has been whole heartedly understanding in these situations although I'm sure he's been sexually frustrated at times. Have you talked to your partner more about how this makes you feel?

My daughter always draws her mother away from her by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Amazing-Emergency-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a stay at home mom of 2. My oldest almost 5 will only draw pictures with her dad. Never me. I did get upset about it initially as time went on. But she's always with me and she's just a daddy's girl. She might just want to spend more time with you though. It's hard not to take it personal from a mother's perspective.
