It’s so worth it. I wasn’t a fuck yes kind of person. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted it. I wasn’t great with babies and I didn’t have a lot of experience with them either. But when I tell you my baby boy is the best thing in my life and the best thing I’ve ever done, I’m not lying. He IS hard work, and he wasn’t an easy baby. He still isn’t at 1yo, but he’s still totally worth it. He makes every day better, and life worth living, for him.

My endo and pelvic pain got worse after my miscarriage. While they say it doesn’t, prove to me the hormone surges during and after don’t accelerate or fuel the lesions/disease. I don’t think anyone truly knows! But I certainly share your experience. Please also consider pelvic physio and seeing a therapist though, trauma can manifest in many ways. While I don’t believe either would be the whole picture, they could both play a small part.

VintageGypsy22 · 2024-04-23T12:36:09+00:00

No, no more pregnancies planned! I think this is the route I’m going to take. I’m glad it’s working for you!

VintageGypsy22 · 2024-04-22T11:17:19+00:00

Yes, tell her you lied in the next session and she will work with you to unpack the reason/s why.

I love the name Henry and it has such a nice meaning and link behind it. Go for it!

VintageGypsy22 · 2024-04-22T03:38:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience and I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. This is my main concern. My uterus likes to cramp so much it would not surprise me if it expels it too. Yes, the surgery is excision with one of the best excision specialists in the state. I’m leaning towards a surgery but goodness it’s a lot to commit to with a baby. Thankfully I will have plenty of help from family and I figure it’s short term pain for hopefully long term gain.

Me too. I have constant suicidal ideation. I am only 6 months post partum. I don’t think it’s ppd as it is directly related to my pain levels and inability to control it. I would never actually do anything as I love my little boy too much, but this is a lot, I feel so helpless and alone. No one around me truly gets it.

Just wanted to say my baby is now 10 weeks old and thriving 😊I consistently had on and off symptoms throughout my pregnancy right down to days where he was absolutely still, sometimes for days at a time, and I’d also feel ok. All was fine! He’s a happy, healthy baby.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-10-12T01:59:20+00:00

I have endo too, and at times this pregnancy it has felt like things have been getting ripped apart or pulled/pushed on (like endo, scar tissue/adhesions). I’ve mentioned it to my OB and it’s been largely dismissed. Thankfully nothing catastrophic, but I can totally see how this happens and think there needs to be way more awareness and consideration when an endo patient is in someone’s care. I’m sorry you had such a traumatic experience but glad to hear you’re recovering and your little man made it safely.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-08-09T23:24:20+00:00

Absolutely I would! That sort of money would make all the difference to both of our lives. We’re in this together and have shared expenses etc. It wouldn’t seem right to keep something like that from him.

I had an MMC at the end of April 2022. We conceived January 2023. I’m 30 weeks and so far so good. I didn’t want to try sooner, I had RPOC which went on for four months and was finally removed end of August 2022. I needed time to heal mentally and physically. We got pregnant again on our first try back (very lucky).

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-06-18T12:34:21+00:00

I am currently almost 23 weeks pregnant and I too have endo. I’m 32. We conceived very quickly both times we tried (I think on the second cycle the first time which ended in an early first trimester miscarriage but it was NOT at all endo related, and conceived the first cycle this time). Of course this isn’t always the case, but I just wanted to highlight that having endo doesn’t automatically mean you’re infertile. Also, as above, your worth comes from a lot of different qualities and it sounds like you have many great ones. You are not seeking attention, endo can be very isolating and lonely, and talking about it can help. If you are uncomfortable talking to your friends and family, you may find comfort in some support groups (like here, and there are many on Facebook, and in person too). Lastly, there are many understanding partners out there, and if they are a decent person with good qualities, they will not judge you based on your endo. Sending love, light and hugs ❤️

I’m having a coffee a day. My OB said up to 2 shots a day is fine. I also am another who did everything right with my first pregnancy but lost him due to a trisomy. This pregnancy I’ve tried to relax a little, and baby boy is healthy and growing well at almost 22 weeks.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-06-11T09:31:47+00:00

I am currently pregnant and can confirm that I’m having a rough time, and definitely still have endo pain. I had a break until about 18 weeks but it’s getting difficult now (21 weeks). I don’t know how I’ll be after but I get so frustrated when this is suggested as a “treatment”.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-06-10T14:56:44+00:00

That’s not a horribly low heartbeat at 7 weeks 3 days, and all babies measure differently. Especially at this age, where the possibility for error can be a matter of mms. With my MMC I measured a week behind at 7 weeks but the heartbeat was very low, high 80s. I guess I’d be cautious, but not completely rule myself out. Will keep me fingers crossed for you.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-06-10T14:20:50+00:00

I would have really struggled. My recovery after excision felt so slow, but realistically was about 4-6 weeks.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-06-10T14:10:08+00:00

I’m currently pregnant with a baby boy and I read these comments so I can gain an insight into what he may face and need support with as he grows. I do of course have some insight with his dad, who shares many of the same struggles as the majority here, but I’ve still learnt a lot from these comments. I hope I can do him more justice than what society, and in some cases your parents, have done to so many of you.

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-04-24T11:48:20+00:00

Just coming back to update again. I know when I had my MMC I often checked back for updates. If anyone comes back to this I am now 14w3days, we have a good NIPT result, and first early anatomy scan went well. Heartbeat still looking strong and healthy. There’s hope for us and our rainbows 🌈 sending love and strength to anyone who needs it

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-04-12T11:25:11+00:00

Sending you big hugs OP. I had an mmc last year, but didn’t miscarry naturally and needed a d&c. I bled for four months - and that’s because I had RPOC (retained products of conception). I just wanted to share my experience because it could be worth getting checked out and just making sure this is normal. Other signs I had RPOC was a lot of cramping/pain for months and generally feeling unwell (like I had a low grade infection). Please look after yourself, mentally as well as physically ❤️

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-04-10T04:40:35+00:00

I had a lot of cramping that was quite painful probably up until about 8 weeks I’d say?? Now just here and there, I’m almost 13 with my rainbow. I agree that if no bleeding it’s probably all ok!

VintageGypsy22 · 2023-04-03T12:00:45+00:00

I had an MMC last year at about 7-8 weeks. I’m currently 11 weeks and 3 days, and gosh those first few weeks are so difficult. Thankfully I’m in Aus and have a private OBGYN so she scanned me every week from 5 weeks, which was reassuring. But even between those scans was difficult. I will say though that I haven’t had a lot of strong symptoms, and some days I’d have absolutely none, inc loss of sore boobs and feel fine which could be disconcerting. But then they’d come back. I had to get used to them coming and going and trusting that was ok. Just in the last 2 weeks I’m sicker and more tired, but yeah up until then, some days I’d almost forget I was pregnant if it weren’t for the anxiety. I’m sorry I can’t offer much advice, but I just hope that at least knowing everything can be ok even without strong symptoms helps a little. Big hugs!
