Well, after a year or so of ultrasounds, leaving it for another few months etc, I finally had a laparoscopy which my gynae consultant said showed that I have pelvic congestion.
I guess I'm mostly pretty okay with that as a diagnosis in that there are some amazing pros and some relatively minor cons: hooray, it's not cancer; bummer,it's not really treatable; thank fuck, it's not a made-up-all-in-my-mind-neurotic illness and, most importantly, it doesn't affect fertility. Still hurts like heck, though.
DH and I are currently TTC #2 (have been not using contraception for nearly 11mo now) and I suppose what I want to ask is if you're in a similar situation, or a bit further down the line, how did pg 2 go? Did you get pg again? Was it more painful than pg 1? How did you feel after having your baby? Were there any complications?
We're not going to stop TTC but I want to get pregnant again with my eyes open to what it might be like second time around with pelvic congestion this time (and nearly 3yo DS).
Any experiences, ideas, etc appreciated.
