Good luck Shan and all the others waiting for a BFP.

Jane the appointment went as well as expected, but basically it is all not good. My endo is so severe (level 4/5) that the op will be around 4-6 hours and I will have a urinary cathetor in place for approx 10-14 days after, as the surgeon has to cut into my bladder as the endo has gone and conveniently attatched itself there as well as on my repro organs... bl**dy B*ast*rd of a thing. As always i was very emotional once the appointment was over. Although the op will all be done through lap, so only approx 3-4 small incisions. When I asked about pain management, the Dr stated that i would only need a couple of panadol... "couple of panadol try a few mls of IV peth thanks"!!!! They are giving DH and I approx 6 months of TTC naturally and then they would like us to move onto IVF again after this... BUT I am thinking adoption. I don't want to really go through IVF again, and I would love to give an unwanted child a wonderful home and much love. I was very anti adoption for DH and I before Wednesday, but some amazing co-incidental things have happened in the last few days... that I can't quiet explain, but fate will take us on our path and lead us to something wonderful.

I hope you AF cramps disappear real quick... thinking of you...

Love and hugs always
