Hii girlies

Haven’t ranted in a while, after months of fighting for a second op I have now got a date for November with a specialist in Manchester, An it can’t come quick enough as my life seems to be becoming harder.

I work as a mechanic so work a very manual job An with a lot of men, even after getting occupational health involved my boss still seems to love ignoring the fact half the time am exhausted or in pain. I worked so hard to get my job An to be taken seriously so even in pain I will take my pain killers an go to work without a fuss, but last week it seemed to get a bit much for me, An I broke. This disease takes over my life on a daily bases it dictates my life daily an Iv tried so hard to keep it from my job but I couldn’t, Iv now been on for 2 days an don’t no what I should do, I feel like I need time to sort my head but also feel as if my job may be at risk or they won’t take me seriously if I stay off.

Secondly, Iv been in a relationship with the love of my life for a while now, An we both want kids recently being told I had endo cysts on one of my ovaries has really scared me into thinking I might just need to bite the built an have my coil removed to go straight for kids, but should I wait until my surgery or take it out an just see what happens.

My boyfriend tries to understand an my family do but none of them get his heart breaking it is when your body is literally rebelling against you

Don’t even no if Iv asked a question or just ranted but thank you girlies xxx

Only you know what is best for you. I also work in a male orientated workplace, and I understand that people don't take you seriously. That's the worst. But if you aren't well, they have to deal with it. You come first!

Personally I would see how the surgery goes and make an informed decision with your gyne about kids and the future.

I do understand that too, I'm 21 and potentially looking at my 3rd surgery in 4 years. I'd love kids and worry about it so much but I can't afford that now.

You are stronger than you think. And rant away, it sometimes help :) xx
