Thanks Renee! I didn't really say. I have had constant morning sickness and there is bleeding where the baby attached in the uterus. I have also been having a lot of pain (I think endometriosis still.) They also say I have a corpus Luteum cyst but that it should go away fine. I didn't think it was supposed to cause pain but it is on the same side my pain is...

I haven't been on my computer much at all lately because of feeling so crummy. I decided to try to catch up today. 400 Posts behind!!! Ugh... BUt I have enjoyed trying to catch up. I missed popping in.

And as far as my ca surgery scheduled for Jan. Cancelled until baby is weaned... Sometimes the best laid plans... But by then we will have saved some money... I hope.

Mandy,

I was going to post about your endometriosis and surgery, but then when you said you were pregnant, I thought I must have had two people confused! (I'm know to do that!) I'm glad to know that I wasn't confused after all. I hope that you are feeling better soon and that the pain stops soon. Does pregnancy stop the pain and growth of endometriosis? I don't know much about it at all.

Congratulations Mandy! I didn't know either?? How did I miss that? When are you due? Hope you are feeling better soon.

I am due July 5th. According to most docs (who don't know much about endo) pain is supposed to be dormant with pregnancy and nursing. However. I have had pain in all my pregnancies and as soon as I have the children it gets worse even with nursing. The pain does lessen through the pregnancies but as soon as I have the babies it quickly gets worse. The way I found out I had it before: I was having severe pain after having my first child. It did not get better after 3 mos postpartum so my midwife put me on an antibiotic thinking it was an infection. It made the pain worse so I saw the gyn in her office. He listened to all my symptoms and said he had no doubt it was what was wrong (even though I was nursing frequently and the nurse and midwife in his office didn't think it was possible to have it while nursing). So he recommended either birth control or pregnancy, so we spent 6 mos trying to get pregnant (not easy when you are nursing full time ;). We got pregnant when my first was 9 mos. old and I was dissapointed that it did not in fact get rid of the endo or pain...

We were trying to avoid pregnancy this time for the surgery... But I also know God has better timing than I.

The next question awaiting an answer is if the spot on my ovary is a corpus luteum cyst or if it is endometrioma (endo cyst). They can't tell for sure with ultrasound and in either case should get better... If it is endo it will likely grow back after pregnancy.

I am very thankful that I am feeling really good today other than a little bit of cramping.

I will have to wait for surgery until the baby is weaned.
