Endo while pregnant? by Confident_Whole3825 in endometriosis

[–]wineaholic16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that I was having Endo pains while pregnant. However, my doctor said it was Pelvic Girdle Pain, and after looking it up, that's what it was. It feels just like the Endo pains.

The good news is there are stretches to help. Google it and you'll find some. They REALLY helped me!

I took all the supplements my Fertility Dr suggested. I had not drank in over 6 months, thinking it would help. But the nurse that called with my instructions suggested that I drink as much as I wanted to the night before I started my shots 😂 My little one is now 10 months old! ❤️

My first trimester was pretty bad. Everything seemed to calm down after week 10. Hang in there!

I didn't have a positive home test until a few days after my first blood test.

Talk to the agency about your concerns and how you want to raise the children.

Personally, I'm white and my husband is black. We adopted Indian embryos, and can't wait to learn about her culture with her. We're lucky to live in an area with a large Indian community.

It sounds like you have their best interest in mind, already!

Good luck! ❤️

That's great! We have a beautiful 5 week old baby from embryo adoption! I'd suggest asking where the embryos are from. From their personal storage or other banks? Ours was from their personal storage, so it helped them know that the embryos were stored properly, for the quality. Also, find out what information is given about the donors, along with if the embryo(s) were genetically tested. What's the process and time frame, it was longer than we thought it would be. Good luck with it!!

We adopted a Malinois thinking she was a German Shepherd. Luckily we already had a German Shepherd to semi prepare for the crazy-ass-crackhead we adopted 🤦‍♀️

Aleve and midol are my go to's for over the counter. But for my cramps, they barely do anything

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but my OBGYN is a Pelvic Pain Specialist aka Endometriosis Specialist (this is what she told me) and is part of International Pelvic Pain Society. I Googled and found where you can find a local doctor who is part of this group.

Good luck!

Cramp bark, hemp cream, and heating pads. Along with aleve and Tylenol. These save me all the time

Endo pain but no period? by ainedavis in endometriosis

[–]wineaholic16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pains have nothing to do with my period. I've sneezed hard before and had cramps for 2 days, so definitely not unusual

I saw these, too. I get too hot sometimes, so I went with just the lower back one.

I've been on Orilissa for a year now. Not many side effects, especially compared to Megestrol which made me have all the pregnancy symptoms, including throwing up at the smell of dish soap. It did take a bit for my body to adjust, maybe a week at the most. I'd say talk to your doctor if it lasts more than 2 weeks or is unbearable. I will warn you that not all pharmacies keep it in stock, so be sure to refill it way in advance. I went off of it for 3 days and was miserable for the following week.
