Hi Everyone,

Last Friday, I had the worst period pain that I have ever had. It started on the left hip, went to the centre of my bladder and stayed there for about three hours. I felt faint and I ended up getting the sweats as I took a taxi back from the CBD of Melbourne to Mooroolbark (where I live) which is an hour's drive. I have had this pain in the left side of my body for the last six months. Even my naturopath looks perplexed when I tell her that the pain will not go away.

Anyway, after 14 months of trying, including preliminary tests such as blood tests for progesterone I went back to the gynocologist last night to see what the next steps were. I was advised that I will need to have a laproscopy and to see if they can find any endodometriosis. At the moment I am feeling a mixture of emotions at the moment ranging from worry to relief that they might find something that could be the reason why my husband and I are not able to conceive.

My husband on the other hand has to provide another sample for semen analysis.

In some ways, I know that it is one step closer to having a baby be it naturally or through IVF.
