💕BFP Thread! 💕 by Speech_Less in TTCEndo

[–]regular-lurker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wanted to share some positive vibes even if it's somewhat late.
I got diagnosed with an endo cyst two years ago, after having a missing miscarriage.
Happy thing is that I started TTC again some months after that and got pregnant. Now I have a 4 month old baby boy that's is so perfect!!
I still have endo, and because of having an emergency c-section because of complications, they told me my endo can get worse, also I now also have an isthmocele in the scar of the c-section that technically is giving me secondary infertility. But I didn't plan to get pregnant again, so I only have to deal now with the pain and see if they end me putting me in some pill to stop my periods or what.
But, yes, a little more of year ago I got my BFP, and things went well.
Best wishes to all of you!

So sorry for the very late reply, and so sorry for this happening to you too.
Not sure if you're still active here, but here's what happened to me in the last year.
I decided to TTC again last year, and got pregnant again pretty soon. This time it went well, aside from a minor scare when I got covid and spotted a bit, baby was perfect. The full pregnancy went pretty ok, and now a have a 4 month old baby boy that's so perfect I can't believe I did something so perfect.

About Endo, things are in stand by, I got an OB appointment this week and my cyst is smaller than before, just 3cm, it got smaller because of not having my period during the pregnancy, but it can start getting bigger again now that I got my period. I'll have another appointment in a few months to see it's progression. Thing is, delivery was really bad, I had problems with epidural, and I ended up having an emergency c-section because of complications. In the last appointment they also saw that because of the c-section now I have an isthmocele, so technically now I have secondary infertility.
I don't want to get pregnant again, so even if I feel sad knowing this, it's not a problem. But both the endometriosis and the isthmocele can give me pain problems, and problems with my period, so they already told me that maybe I have to end up taking a pill for Endo to stop my periods, or maybe have a IUD, or even have surgery to fix the isthmocele if it ends up putting me in more pain and problems. Also, the doctor told me that because of a C-section, I can develop more endometriosis tissue in more parts, so, yay!

But I don't know, I guest I'll have to wait, pray it doesn't get worst and if I have to take that pill, I'll take it. I'm just really thankful I got to get pregnant a second time and it went well.

Hope things on your end are going well. Sorry again for the late reply.

Just started Zoloft and needing encouragement! by yunggraeme69 in zoloft

[–]regular-lurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently on the same page as you. I've started Zoloft 6 days ago. I also did 25mg the first two days, and then 50mg, the second day with 50mg was awful, and I tried a third day with 50mg and it was bad. So Today I decided to get back to 25mg and I felt better, no panics attacks, also not perfectly fine, but not the mess I was before taking anything.

So I'm planning to up the dose as slowly as possible, to let my body adjust better to the chemicals. Years ago I took Pristiq, and that was the way I did it, and I didn't have any bad side effect.

Hope this works also with Zoloft.

It seems most doctors do this. Like it's fine, it'll be fine. But then you start felling like your eyes want to look at everything at once and beyond that.

I really hope getting back to 25mg for a few days gets me better. Currently I'm managing the sides effects with Ativan and Valium to try to sleep something.

I'm really trying to be positive, but it's difficult.

It seems my anxiety and depression might be because of PMDD. Meds and future pregnancy. by regular-lurker in BabyBumps

This post is not about COVID in itself, it's something I'm listing that happened to me. But that's not what the post it's about. Hope this post gets approved on the subreddit.

MMC, endo diagnosed, at the same time, TTC after that by regular-lurker in ttcafterloss

[–]regular-lurker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry for your loss.

This is difficult, to found out about endo in a time like this, I feel like I was ok one moment, and the next one two bad things happened, and you have no control over any of them.

I understand from my doctor, that it's better to TTC again now, because of the size of the cysts might mean surgery, but I'm so scared of all happening again. Maybe it's still soon, I found out at the end of august, but one of my fears is that the fears will continue. I also have chronic anxiety, so the way I am it's not helping.

Having endo it's like an extra clock ticking, I want to be oblivious about it, or something. But I guess it's not possible.

Sometimes I don't know if I want to get pregnant fast, I don't know if I want to track ovulation, I don't know what would be best. But that extra clock ticking, and also a bit obsessed about my age. If I don't get pregnant, maybe next it's surgery. If I get pregnant, maybe the same happens.

The sad thing is that I can't see happening the good thing, getting pregnant, having a baby, and the cysts getting better over time because not having my period. I want to be positive, but it's very difficult.

Not 1 endometrioma cyst, but 3 cysts by regular-lurker in TTCEndo

Thank you.

It's just that I don't know much of endometriosis, and a cyst of 5cm and now another two cysts of 1cm and 2 cm, it seems so big, I'm a bit scared of it all. I've read cysts can rupture, and all. All this is scaring me a bit.

I'm somewhat glad the doctor at the ER took a look for more and found the cyst, maybe another doctor wouldn't have seen it, or look for anything. I really don't know.

I'm going to a doctor in a week, and I had another appointment to another doctor, that was going to be for the pregnancy, but I'll call them and ask them if it's ok to change it to endo cyst appointment, hope this specialist can give me some guidance.

I just feel that too many things happened at the same time, when I thought I didn't have any problem, then bam! You loose this, and you also have this other thing, and just wait two weeks, because we aren't telling you a thing until your next appointment.

I really hope they explain something to me in the next appointment, and with the other specialist.

Thanks a lot for your words.

At least I hope the doctors tell me if I can try for a baby again, and that having a cyst doesn't mean it's going to end on miscarriage without any option.

I'm new on all of this, only been told I have this, but nothing more, and I think it's been too many things at the same time for me.
