If you asked me to write this blog even 5 years ago I don’t
think I would have had the strength to relive this part of my life, as certain
elements were still very raw to me. Even
when looking back over hospital notes to write this, I can feel the tears
welling up… but I feel that I am in a happy place in my life right now to share
my journey, in the hope that it inspires others to have hope. I’m 39 now and my
fertility/IVF journey started when I was 25.
This is my first blog and I don’t really know where to
start, so I will start at the beginning.
Please bear with me and continue along with my posts, as I tell you my
story.
When I was younger I always wanted to be married and have
kids and thought 25 would be a good age to do this….thinking boom it would
happen!! Eh not for me sadly. I had already been with my husband for 6
years and thought that when I came off the pill a baby would just happen, but
as soon as I did I discovered there was a problem. I wasn’t having a cycle every month, so
therefore I knew I wasn’t ovulating. When
the 6 month mark had passed and still nothing, I decided to go to the doctors,
as I knew this wasn’t normal. That’s
when the tests started….
Polycystic Ovaries and Endometriosis
After what seemed like forever (well it is forever when you
are trying to have a baby….every month drags by, as the thing you want most in
life just doesn’t seem to be happening), I was sent for a Laparoscopy and Dye
at hospital under general anaesthetic and this is when it was discovered that I
had polycystic ovaries and endometriosis….which is not the greatest news to
receive when you are trying to fall pregnant. I can remember thinking, why me??
PCOD & Endometriosis both can be causing issue in your pregnancy or conceiving. Endometriosis can cause infertility in several ways. Doctor can diagnosis this problem in Laparoscopy Procedure. A Person should meet a good gynecologist for such problems in India.
