So, yesterday, I had a doctor’s appointment. And, before this doctors appointment, I was all, “I am going to MARCH in there and tell her NO MORE LUPRON.” I was, I was totally going to do that.
But, then my doctor game in. And, she did a pelvic exam (TMI, perhaps? SORRY) and you know what? She felt a normal uterus. One that doesn’t have 6 centimeters worth of endometrioma in it. One that is healthy.
So, yeah. I’m in for another shot. Also, she used the phrase, “protecting your fertility” about 48 times, so there was that factor, as well.
And, well, please bear with me. We’ve got 6 more weeks on the current shot and then 3 months for the next one. I hope to be normal again by next summer. Thanks, I owe you all a cookie.
OH AND ANOTHER THING: I got my hair cut today? And, do you know what my Carl noticed? THAT MY HAIR IS VERY, VERY STRAIGHT! So, there is another side effect of the hormonal changes – straight hair. I knew something good would come out of this. You know, besides being able to have a baby one day. I’m all about the vanity, folks, but you know that, right?

Well thank God that after the hell it’s putting you through, at least it’s friggin’ working! I’m so glad to hear that.
Do we get a pic of the new hair?

Hormones do a number on a woman’s hair…
Glad things are improving, though! Yay!

Ditto Laura!
I had uber-straight, medium-blonde hair my whole life till I had a baby. Pregnancy hormones darkened my hair a few shades (though I highlight it and when I’m in the sun it blondes up a lot) and made it wavy, which I love! It’s not super wavy, but if I use product and scrunch it I get waves, which were only a wistful dream for the first 29 years of my life.

People have no idea what an ordeal it is for us curly-haired ladies to get straight. PTL for the straightness!

I know how it feels to hate what is working for you. Oh, how I know…

I think that you’re doing the right thing for yourself, although I’m sure it sucks right now. Hang in there!!!
