Follow up appt tomorrow.

[Jess_85]

Well, I don't post that often but feel I needed to express how I am feeling in a safe enviroment where I don't feel judged so here goes!

I had my 7th lay on the 30th april and my follow up appt is tomorrow (5th). Im feeling so anxious I cant sleep and my OH says Im being silly (most probably am to be fair!) I had a v.brief letter from the gynae through the GPsaying I have extensive endo and fibroids so I know they believe me. Not like my last few gynaes who thought I was making it up. Im just worried they are going treat me like a guinea pig again with different treatments or just leave me in the lurch again. I know there is no cure and I have to make reasonable adjustments I just am so worried that this is the best lifes going to get popping pills almost daily, no sex(as its so painful), weight gain, hormonal and just feeling shit most of the time. Sorry for rambling I really do try to be positive as I know things could be so much worst and I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. I think my insecurities are rearing its head and making me feel like this.

My OH told me that the gynae wants to do another surgery not sure what though as I look like frankenstein already!! Supposedly the gynae saw me in recovery, i cant remember but I have no idea whats going on!!

Well thats enough of me ranting, i feel a bit better already and hope you are all ok and just want to say thanks for setting this forum up and making this a great forum as it is a safe place to literally bare all!! And as its really helped me not feel so alone and has helped me in really tough times, 😊

I have literally just written a post about my follow up appointment which is also tomorrow. I also cannot sleep! It’s nearly 1am and here I am! I have to be up at 6ish for work too. I don’t think I’m going to get much sleep at all. I don’t know why I am so nervous. I think it’s not knowing what to expect at the appointment.

So, your lap was in April and your follow up appointment is tomorrow (well, technically today) how come it’s so delayed? Feels like ages ago!

I hope it goes well for you. Sorry to hear you’ve had a tough time of it all. It isn’t fair for us women to suffer like this.

Good luck for your appointment 🤞🏼

Thanks for replying. I have no idea why its is so long for a follow up. My GP has just said that my gynae is mainly private and i cant afford to go private so just have to wait for NHS. I have literally been counting the days and hours till I see him it has felt an eternity! It was a 9 month wait for the lap in april. Since i know he wants me to have further surgery it'll most probably be another 6 months at least to wait after today!😪 so im expecting further pain.

When was your lap? I hope your appt goes well today as well so good luck 🤞 Luckily its my day off and my OH is coming with me for support and my work have been supportive just feel such a burden as i just cant do as much as i used to.

I know woman who dont have endo just dont seem to get it. Its not just the pain at the moment its everything else and im always told "stop being hormonal' or "you look like crap" and i just feel like screaming at them, but i just put a smile on my face and get on with it.

Anyway hope you get some sleep and good luck again xx
