Hi everyone,
I just wanted to update everyone to my situation.
After my last round of IvF, which failed, the doctor said to me that my egg quality has declined and that he would recommend egg sharing. This hit me quite hard, I felt like such a failure, its also the pain that everyone feels on here when they look at other women with children, so here I am with a 10% chance of getting pregnant naturally or other option egg sharing.
After my first period after finishing my last ivf cycle, 3 days after my period finished, hubby and I were having sex, when we had finished, I had a severe pain in my stomach, I had to kneel on the floor it was that bad, I also felt very dizzy, I stood up walked out on the landing and thought I’m going to faint so I laid down on the floor because I didn’t want to faint from standing up.
Then while lying on the floor, my husband is calling my Name and asking if I’m ok, because I had just had a seizure, where I went ridged and was shaking which I didn’t remember at all.
So off I went to the Doctors the next morning. I was banned from driving for a month while they figured out what it was, because if you faint from standing up falling to the floor will usually fix the problem, but when you faint when lying on the floor, they have to ban you till they figure our what it is. Luckily it was diagnosed as possible stress from the whole ivf procedure and the fact that we are trying to sell our house probably didn’t help …but it was a drop in blood pressure, where all the blood rushes to your legs.. so I was able to drive again, its called “vaso vagal syncope”
The doctor said this can happen to anyone the sight of blood or seeing an accident happen things like that can trigger it.
While all this was being investigated, I had also said to the Doctor that I still have severe pain in my stomach ever since the night of the faint. I have blead half way into my period and then 2 weeks later blead again, then the next month I blead 15 days into my period then 21 days after that, Im hoping this month is back to normal.
Ive had an ultra scan, the results show that my cyst on my left side has now grown to 5 cm’s in size, and that I have endometriosis, the nurse said to me has no one ever said this to you,, I said no never, I ve looked this up and it can be a causing factor in infertility problems,
I’m abit annoyed that none of the Doctors or nurses ever said to me that I have this, I would not have spent £6,000 on a third round of IVf if I had know this, I would have tried to have the Endometriosis attended to first to try and give me a better chance.
So now Im going to see a specialist on September 12 th to see what can be done.
I hope everyone is doing well.
I know this is a long rant, but I didn’t want to put my story up without all the facts.
Has anyone else had Endometriosis? Or know anyone else who’s had it.
