Hi ladies,
I'm beginning to get very worried, i am 29 years old and was diagnosed with mild/moderate very active endometriosis in October 2012. I had laser surgery to remove what they could. Unfortunately even after surgery my pain never really improved despite trying the pill back to back. It was decided in December 2012 that i go on the monthly decapeptyl injection for 6 months.
The first 3 months were horrendous but after my pain gradually went and i finally started to feel normal again. Yes i had side effects hot flushes etc but that was nothing compared to the constant dragging pain i was in. It was working so well they let me have it for another 3 months after my 6 months were up but i decided to only have 2 months more making it 8 months in total that i had it for. I have felt really good up until just recently where i have noticed the old pains creeping back. I had my last injection in July and was told that i could start trying for a baby in August which we have been doing but not having any luck. My periods came back in October but i have only had 2 one in October and the other in December making my cycle 25 days. I was due yesterday or so i thought but nothing has happened yet despite feeling an increasing amount of pain. I have done several tests so know i am not pregnant.
I have been doing ovulation tests and never seem to get a positive. I have an app that predicts when i should ovulate but just try to do it as much as we can.
I know 6 months isn't long and i know many of you have been trying for an awful lot longer so i'm sorry if i offend anyone but im so worried that my ovaries have gone to sleep and may never wake up. I have just read that decapepyl can cause infertility and its scared me senseless. We want nothing more than to have a baby, i'm lucky to have an amazing, patient and kind husband who never puts us under any pressure but i feel like my body is failing.
I am unable to really talk to anyone other than my husband as i don't want to upset or offend anyone and i don't want to come across as a moaner. My 2 best friends are both pregnant and while i'm delighted for them both it make the situation even harder. I am yet to go back to the doctors as i don't want to waste her time and be sent away feeling disappointed.
I apologize for such a long post, writing it all down has enable me to get it off my chest.
Thank you for taking the time to read it.
Best wishes to you all.xxxx
