My profile

I am 32 years old and this is my first child. I have been with my husband John for 4 years now and I was married on June 13, 2009. We started trying as soon as we got home from our honeymoon and got pregnant on our first try. Our baby is due March 30, 2010. We are extremely excited about becoming parents for the first time. :D

I was diagnosed with endometriosis almost 4 years ago. I have had 2 laparscopies to get rid of the endometrial tissue. It is the most painful thing I have ever had to experience. In addition to that, my gyno told me that my chances of getting pregnant were decreased due to the endo and that If I wanted a baby, I should start trying to have one as soon as possible. That wasn't possible at the time because John and I had just begun dating. He was aware of the situation, but I could never ask him to make such a sacrifice at such an early juncture in our relationship.

Thankfully I was told about Natural Progesterone Cream. This has saved my endo from returning and allowed John and I to get pregnant really quickly. It acts like a BC to stop ovulation and then when we were ready to start a family, I began taking it after I ovulated. This lead to us getting pregnant right away and hopefully will keep the endo in complete remission. I am a NPC advocate now and I encourage all of you who have endometriosis to look in to it. You will have to get a prescription because the over the counter stuff isn't strong enough, but if you are struggling with endo, I would give it a try!
