Endometriosis and Me Update

[Theendotravellercouk]

I've currently written 2 blog posts about my endo journey and having recently been for a scan at our ivf clinic and finding out that I had 2 new endometriomas I was referred to the hospital to have another scan 6 weeks later. We went for the scan and found out that because of scar tissue and damage that we aren't viable for ivf and the 2 new endometriomas have actually become 7 endometriomas. I had a doctors appointment today to ask to be referred to the Endometriosis clinic at my local hospital and was told that I couldn't have painkillers and to try a hot water bottle and paracetamol. I was crying my eyes out in agony telling them I had no quality of life and it took my fella getting a bit shirty to get my gp to say he'd write the referal. We've had such a struggle as a couple with this disease and it is so frustrating that doctors are not taking us seriously so we've been asking people to share our story to draw attention to the blog and raise awareness. I wanted to post today for 3 reasons the first being to ask you to please read and share if you can, the second to say we will be working on a YouTube video tomorrow to tell our story and try and get the word out that leaving this disease untreated can cost you being able to have children. The third is if anyone wants to share their story we would love to have guest writers for the blog. I found writing my story therapeutic and I think all women should be heard. If anyone is struggling today the way I've been struggling emotionally, stay strong, just keep swimming because you're amazing and brave and so worth the fight. Thank you for reading and for everyone I've found on this site whose already been so kind to me. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that at 28 I'll never have a baby 💔
