Well.......
I had my consultation with the Reproductive Endocrinologist on Wednesday afternoon. Things are not looking to great for me. My fertility specialist said that I have four strikes against me:
Strike 1: Four years without birth control and no pregnancies
Strike 2: Endometriosis (I hate that medical term)
Strike 3: Irregular periods
Strike 4: Tilted Uterus

So there you have it. Right off the top, I have four issues that are working against me. Yes, I know, I have not had any testing yet. I am in the process. I will meet back with my doctor as soon as he has collected and reviewed all of the testing that my husband and I are gearing up for.
I really hate my body.
That is the only info that I have to give you at the moment, but I will keep you all posted. No matter how difficult things get in the future, my status and health will always be an open book. I want to document what it is like to live with endometriosis. I will always spread endo awareness, no matter how dark of a path it takes me on. I will not break. However, I want to make those that do not live with this illness fully aware of what this disease can cause:
the inability to create life.
How do you cope with fertility issues?

P.S. Sorry for the rant. I am very emotional tonight. Like many of you, I want a child so badly.
I'm sorry you're going through this, and really hope your dream can come true some day x
