Jennee,

Don't worry about being too graphic. I'm the queen at that. LOL!

Anyway, I forget...is endo the only thing causing your infertility? You had Stage 1 endo and a lap. I'm surprised that you're not pregnant, to be honest.

Our ovulation patterns are very similar. Actually, that is what prompted me to contact this new GYN doctor. The pain gets soooo bad that I became too scared to not have it looked at. Plus, I didn't have it when I came off the pill 3 years ago. It was something that just crept up on me.

Also, you describe your cramps during the onset of your periods as contractions. THAT IS TOO SCARY!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!! Only I'm like that Days 1-3. These are also the days I'm prone to accidents. I'll start having cramps that are on and off. Next, they keep coming back stronger and longer than before. Finally, I run to the bathroom and PUSH!!! The whole toilet bowl is full on blood and clots. I'll be good for a couple of hours then it returns. This whole pattern is usually 4 times a day during the first 3 days of each period. I didn't really realize it was so abnormal. I just figured it was my heavy periods. Nothing more...My clots are rarely larger than my middle finger. I usually spend Day 1-2 on the sofa with a heating pad.

As far as pain...Let's just say I have a VERY HIGH pain tolerance. Really...How many people do you know walk around with a burst appendix for a whole week like it's just PMS cramps??? Or how many people walk around without needing pain killers after having 4 feet of intestines cut out of them leaving a 5 inch incision???

I have a tendance to let things go because to me they aren't really that bad...It isn't until things are really bad that I catch on, most times.

In general, how long of a higher fertility success rate do you have after a lap? I'm going to guess I'm a Stage 3, just for information sake.

No, I don't belong to Facebook. Jake would shoot me if I joined another forum. I belong to here and Fertility Friend. To him, that's two too many already. LOL! If I so much as pull up either of the websites while he's around, he rolls his eyes. He has no idea about the blog I just opened on here. I'm still working on it. I won't open it until I'm 100% happy with it. That could be awhile. I'm so picky...I keep changing things, appearance related. I want it to be me, raw, open, and uncut, yet gentle, sweet, and appealing. I'm a weird combo deal! It depends on my mood that day too...Gotta love hormones...<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

We are so close in our symptoms. and our name and our age!
when i had my lap done i had a hsg - the tube test. my right one is blocked. or slow i guess. i dont know if he cleared it out or not, im thinking he didnt,.
I never have ewcm. I have creamy, sticky cm. This month i had creamy/sticky/stretchy all at once, but not perfect ewcm.
I tried preseed this month. and robitussin and NAC (mucomyst), and red clover tea.
Something worked-- because my period wasnt so thick, it was more like ewcm.. now if i can only get ewcm at the right time.... i blame that for my infertility. The doc said i would need iui or ivf in order to get pregnant- but i wont go that way. Im trying my own things and not succeeding.
One good thing about ov. pain is we know were ovulating! Do you ever ovulate on both sides? Oh you think ovulation pain is bad on one side try both..... I get that every so often.
I hope you can get examined very soon. the sooner the better but it doesnt always work that way.
I want to read your blog.
i have one.

Jennee,

Well, I guess I have one advantage on you. My tubes were open, and the dye moved through them without a hitch. However, the was in July 2007! My pain wasn't as bad back then. He wants to do another one when I have the surgery, I think. We'll see.

My CM (at best) is creamy, watery. Usually, just watery on the actual day of OV. However, I have months where my CM will be green-tinted. So I do have CM issues...All tests on it come back normal but what is normal about green-tinted CM?

I use to think the OV pain was a good thing. But now, I realize that it mostly likely was a bad thing.

Oh well. We'll see. I just have to play the 'waiting game'. It near kills me! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
