Doctor appointment update!

So I was suspecting that I may have endometriosis since my mother had it and a few friends of mine had it as well and my signs and symptoms were closely mimicking theirs. I never thought about having endometriosis before because my symptoms have been there for a long time and it felt "normal" to me. Guess I should have been talking about aunt flow and sex more!

I decided to get my butt in gear and make an appointment with my doctor. I did a lot of research and everything was lining up and making since.

Tuesday afternoon I get to the office and of course give a urine sample. I started telling him about what has been going on and he says, "yes that does sound like endometriosis and that the only way to know for sure if it is endometriosis is by doing Lap. surgery." Since i'm in school at the moment and have a pretty big deductible to meet I wouldn't be able to do the surgery until December.  So he said we can do one of two things..one being the surgery or two I can keep trying clomid for 6 months which is going to be like a birth control in reverse. It will help me get pregnant. He said that if the clomid is going to help me get pregnant it will do it within those 6 months or most likely not at all. He said that pregnancy is actually a good thing for endometriosis that isn't severe and will actually help me feel less pain and it will suppress it . He said that even though I read a lot about women having a hard time getting pregnant with endometriosis that those are people have severe cases and in all his years practicing he's never seen anyone that can't get pregnant because of it. He said he would check my ovaries and uterus to see if they were "floating" around which is what they want to feel we went ahead and did the exam and he said everything feels great so he doesn't think the endometriosis is severe, but with the explanation of what sex felt like he believes I may have a little bit of it starting.

So all that said that is our plan.. clomid for 6 months and if nothing in 6 months i'll go ahead with the surgery. so praying it doesn't have to get to the surgery route!
