Courtney's Diary Entries

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!

Thank you to those who have responded on my talk to me board. I have a friend who works for Childrean's Aid who is going to try to find the children affected through the school system. I am praying she can help these little girls before it is too late.

Looks like this entry is going to be a whiney one. I have been in a lot of pain lately so if you are in a good mood you might not want to read this :o)

Well I have had the worst time since my last post. I have been in pain since then. I even had to take Monday off work cause I couldn't get out of bed the pain was so bad. I ended up going to the Dr on Tuesday almost in tears. They did and U/S and found my ovaries have returned to their normal size (right is just a tad larger but nothing to worry about). They also found that my ovaries are actually attached together and stuck to my back. They aren't floating like they should be. My uterus is also locked into a similar position. So it is official I have endo ... Dr says that is what is gluing everything together. We aren't sure how bad the endo is and won't know until I have the lap. As for the pain it is in the front just under my belly button and runs down to my pelvis. He is afraid the endo has attached it's self to my intestines and is causing me pain and discomfort. I have been going from bad constipation or having the runs (and I mean that!). Since we have to wait another cycle before doing the lap the Dr gave me a prescription for Tylenol 2 with codeine. Wow when I take that do I get really mellow and spacey. It took away the pain when right away (I am thinking it was really the mind over matter thing) ... now it only so so helps. I got so excited on Monday as I thought af had arrived. No such luck. I have spotted every morning for about and hour then it disappears. Now on top of the pain at the front I have normal monthly cramping at the back. Sometimes I just feel like falling to the ground, curling up and staying there.

On a better note we investigated IVF and other more advanced options. If the lap goes well (it will be in May) then we are willing to do whatever it takes to increase our chances. If that means IVF well we will make it work (financially). This makes me very excited!

On a hockey note: I am sorry that the Toronto Maple Leafs might not make the playoffs. They have been playing rather poorly lately and don't deserve to go on. At the start of the season I thought to myself wouldn't it be great if I was having a baby when the Leafs won the cup. Isn't it fitting that the Leafs don't even make the playoffs and we aren't pg either.

Well I need to get ready for work so talk to you ladies later.
