Hey Hey,

Yes i'm on a pretty strict diet lately and its going great- Lots of raw foods- according to the Endo Diet.
Also see an Acupuncture therapist, regular massage, Chinese herbs.
No caffeine or junk food in my diet and am pretty strict about it- it really helps with the hormone therapy.

Also have my own time inthe morning for Meditation and Yoga.

But on HRT i dont get periods at all so not too sure about how all that is going.
Bit scared about going off it for trying...very scared about periods.

Have been on all the options currently available to me for the Endo except Mirena...which i'll try after we have another baby if i can.

The problem is that the PCOS makes me bleed a lot, i'm talking a pack of pads a day for 4 months. SO to control the hormones i'm on HRT but when i first went on it i was stil bleeding through the pill (continuous no sugar pills) and the HRT. So the OBGYN had to put me on double the dose just to stop the bleeding.

its ridiculous i know. So now i have no bleeding but find it really difficult to function during the day (also have a 1 yr old and have trouble staying awake to look after him).
it gets to the point where my concentration is so bad that i cant drive etc. Bit like Tramal and digesic if anyone's ever been on that.

Hence the hysterectomy. i've been told that it will be a bacis hysterectomy of jut the womb...ovaries left in...but have an appointment in November to discuss it further.
The endo has spread to the uterus muscle to the point where the DR can show me on a internal ultrasound.

was very scary when i first saw large black spots...which is apparently the disease, it was everywhere as well.

but yes i will look into any other alternatives even if i have to travel to find it.
but for the time being focusing on a second child before it gets too late for me.


Hey YDI did you have bowel surgery from the ENDO?
