Back before I got pregnant with my son I used to have severe, super painful periods. Like, ended up in the ER a few times because of the pain, super bad. Even the months when I handled it at home were filled with vomiting and writhing in pain, with no pain killers working at all.
That's how this cycle is starting. Day 2 and I think I am going to die.
I'm not sure if it was the progesterone or what but I'm having incredibly painful cramps that nothing is touching. They're also radiating up my right side all the way to my ribcage, which is a little disconcerting. My doctor has long suspected I have some endo on that side (first no health insurance, then getting pregnant took away the pain so well I never bothered with surgery to find out for sure) and this was the worst it's ever been.
I got up this morning so dizzy from pain and blood loss I walked into a wall twice. I'm actually now really, really nervous about trying again this cycle with more progesterone. Could that have done this? Is this a one-time event, which will go away next month if I don't use the progesterone again? Or am I doomed from here on out until I get pregnant again or have surgery of some kind?
I'm also nervous about what two more tries with this stuff will do if we don't get pregnant on it.
There has got to be a better way than this.
Oh no! That sounds horrible. I would be nervous too. Maybe your doctor has some answers? If not, it will be hard to know how to proceed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon.
Not to be that girl who thinks that everyone has what you have, but... have any doctors ever mentioned endo to you? Because what you are describing is NOT normal lady. I'm sorry you are experiencing such misery!
