Hi girls!

Chris: i just was having a wee think about your pain...i DO remember pretty bad pain when my uterus was going back down (you know, when you b/f etc). i remember that it was pretty shocking as it contracted back and must have been pulling or nudging bits of the endo...probably not as bad as you are experiencing tho', as i wouldnt have to take anything for it, and it was only when the uterus was doing her thing... just a thought tho.

Mehza: yeah, i'm like you. i have been following the endo diet. i can get away with just avoiding caffeine and sugary stuff during the peak times (ie Ov and AF). but we are strict on eating loads of fresh stuff. i have found that it helps (or rather eating or drinking the cr*p just made it a whole lot worse IYKWIM).
wow, i didnt realise PCOS was so full on with the bleeding. that must be really exhausting. i dont blame you for not looking forward to AF! but i guess her return is the go ahead for the TTC journey! which in itself can be really exciting!!

YDI: yeah i have been following the diet recommendations for endo. i found it helps with the symptoms (ie i know when i have 'fallen off the wagon' so to speak as the cycle is particularly bad).
Also, I went to see an OB/GYN who specialised in homeopathic fertility treatments. we spent 3ish hours just going through a complete medical history and in the end i was prescribed a whole bunch of treatments that included, clearing out the retained material (sorry if TMI!), one to kickstart proper muscle contractions to help AF out and another to help with bringing my cycles back into a normal and regular pattern (this was a pretty hardcore treatment and sent my body reeling the first time i took it). but it worked. after the first cycle i had my first AF after exactly a 28 day turnaround and then by the 3rd i was pg with DD (we had been trying for almost 2 years). so no doubt i will be going back to her if it really is starting up again!
