Hi Girls,

Thank you for the warm welcomes, it is great to have a few of us at the same stage so we are all in it together! I have a blood test and ultrasound on Monday, and a job interview, so it is a big day!

Jo - I have had 2 laps (in 2001 and 2005), both to treat endo, and like Jane anaesthetic is not my friend, and the morphine they gave me for pain was even less of a friend! After the first one I have really bad shoulder pain from the gas, and every now and then I get it out of nowhere. Basically I had quite a bit of bleeding for a few days afterwards and a swollen, very sore belly, I needed a minimum of a week off work. I was terrified the first time as I had never had surgery before, but all those warnings really are just a worst case scenario. If you do have endo you will be relieved to get rid of it believe me!

Megan - The first few days of synarel were awful, I had headaches and was really dizzy, hot and basically felt terrible, I was cranky and mean too! When AF came that seemed to clear up, and it has been easier this month. I believe they use it to treat endo so Ithink it must be doing something good in there! How are you going?

Jane - Yep, another endo girl. It's funny, most people I know haven't heard of it, but in here I see so many people actually have it.

Lou - You are right about needing a break After I had my lap last year I was on a big high thinking things would happen naturally, obviously they didn't and I had a hard time with that. We used to live in a remote location and had to fight DH's work like hell for a transfer. Now we are just stoked to be here and getting on with it, and trying to stay really positive, which can be hard for me sometimes (DH is great at being positive!) but it sure beats making myself miserable! Good luck with #5 I will be sending you loads of sticky vibes.

xoxo
