QuestionI have been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of endometriosis. I've had two surgery less than a year apart to treat it. The last one was in September, since the surgery I am still in allot of pain, my period were heavy the first two months post surgery but the last few they only last two days at the most with allot of pain and very little blood flow. I just married in November and I really want children. I'm 28 and have no medical insurance i can not afford the Lupron shots that I was once on please help
AnswerHi Nicole,
I'm a little surprised to hear from you. I told my husband to put me on vacation from this site because I am in the hospital awaiting surery tomorrow. I guess it didn't work. I am glad hubby brought in my laptop to occupy my time. Sorry if there are any spelling errors and such. I am all doped up. I hope this makes sense.
If you had laser surgery, no wonder you are still in so much pain. Laser surery only gets rid of the surface Endo that the doctor is able to see. Believe me, the Endo is still there.
If your Endo is progressing that quickly and you want children, I would talk to your husband. As you probably know, Endo can wreak havoc on your fertility. If you are ready or even think you can handle children at this point, I would consider this soon. That is not saying if you wait you will not be able to have children, it just means the longer you wait, there could be trouble.
Lupron does help some women and other women can not handle the menapause side effects. I understand about it being expensive and not having insurance. I am currently in the hospital having surgery for a bowel obstruction and I have no medical insurance being self employed.
Have you tried birth control? I know that you want to have children but many women treat Endo this way. Something to consider. Also, the Endo diet and Natural Progesterone cream. The cream is kind of expensive, but not when you consider the cost of Lupron. The cream has helped me a lot. Before I started using it, about 5 times a month I would pass out from the pain I had and I was completely bed ridden for about 5 or five days every month. Now I am only bed ridden about 1 or 2 days and it has been months since my pain was so unbearable that I would actually pass out. Both of these things can be found at www.endo-resolved.com.
If considering the cream, please read about it. There are very strict guidelines on what to use and how much.
Hope some of this helped and I feel your pain.
Sincerely,
Angie
