Depression And Infertility And Relationships

I am so depressed right now. I am not even thinking clearly and not sure where to start. This year has been hell with infertility. Flare ups one month so bad I went to the ER one month and urgent care the next. Symptoms lead me to believe that I have endo on my bowels. Which would make sense since on my 3rd lap with bilateral cystectomy they removed fallopain tubes that had adhered to my bowels. Specialist I saw said since we were in the middle of infertility… read more

Excision Surgery (cystectomy X2)

Hello :)

I am wondering how long it took for people to go back to work after a cystectomy? I have a job at a hospital (desk job). Also, I am wondering if the scars fade after awhile? Are there large amounts of pain for an extended period of time after the surgery? I just learned I have surgery next week and although I was hoping and praying it would be soon I am at work and absolutely melting down with worry.

Are complications usual with this type of thing? How long am I going to… read more

Has Anyone Who Had A HSG (fertility) Test, Experienced Severe And Long Lasting Pain Afterwards?

I had my first HSG test on 23rd June. The pain during the exam was horrendous, I was (not very successfully fighting back tears). I would opt for another lap before I had that done again. As soon as he removed everything I felt instant relief. I went to work after, because I felt fine (a mistake, I now see). About 2 hours later the pain suddenly turned very severe. I couldn’t walk, or move and certainly couldn’t drive… read more

Long Periods With Visanne?

Help! I have been taking visanne for 5 months and this month I am heading into my 4th week of spotting and bleeding. In the last 5 months, my periods have lasted 2 weeks with about 30 days in between. I still get some pain but not like before however, this long bleeding is making me consider stopping the visanne. I had a mirena for 2 years and bled every 2 weeks for 2 weeks. A short (but very painful) period is more appealing than this incessant bleeding. Anyone else have this? Does it… read more
