A Newie with Stage 5 Endo - Advice?

[AustraJoey]

Hi Mumszword,
TCM is Traditional Chinese Medicine and AP is acupuncture.

I am having the lap to see how things are going with diathermy to reduce the endo if necessary.

4 Yrs is a long time to TTC ( we're up to 3 yrs 7 months) - how do you keep from despairing as I do sometimes?

Hi Jo,

Thanks for educating the uneducated on the abbreviations of the forum.

I have not yet tried herbal and Traditional chinese medicines - So far I have been lucky enough to be able to deal with the side affects of endo with codine and paracetemol. I have a pretty good pain threshold and have relied on the power of prayer to get me through.

I have finally got to a stage in my life where I have a peace about things and know that what is meant to be will happen so instead of counting the days, months and years of TTC, I try to focus my attentions on the postive things happening in the now.... Don't get me wrong..... I have my moments and sometimes I withdraw from things and I wonder why life can't be easier ....... but I also remember that I am blessed to have my DH and DD - And I try to remind myself of what matters most...... this and my faith keep me going. I try to count my blessings everyday and remember that if I have faith the size of a mustard tree well then I can move mountains.......

Take care and try not to dispair Jo, remember to count your blessings in your life because life is so short and precious - enjoy every moment and seize the day.

Keep the faith.......
