I have an answer!

Hey!

So, I had an appointment for the end of November for my surgery, but I got a call on Tuesday offering me a cancellation slot for today. I had so much to get sorted, I never got to update the blog!
I went into hospital this morning at 8am, hungry, nervous but feeling positive!

I was having a laporoscopy, hysteroscopy and a D&C. I was in surgery for around an hour. When I came back around I was quite sore and a bit groggy. I was brought back to the ward and was resting for a while before the doctor came down to see me.

In the hysteroscopy everything looked really healthy, no scarring or damage there, which is a relief. When they did the laporoscopy, they found endometriosis. It's mild, thank goodness. They found 3-4 pieces, which they said is enough to cause the pain I've been having. They lasered it off, which will give me some relief for some time!

I'm coming off the injection Depo-Provera. I'm now on Minulet and I'm taking that consecutively for three months, to give my womb time to settle down. I'm hoping this one works, but the only way to find out is to try it!

It's great to get an answer, it's great to know that I haven't been going crazy. I'm so happy and also quite sad at the same time. It's not the end of the world, it can be treated. I'm lucky in that sense.

I'm on bed rest for the weekend and taking it easy all week. It's my 21st next Friday, so I want to be on top form for that!

I'm back in the hospital in 3 months. I'll post an update soon on how the Minulet is working.

love
