Scared about AF w/ endo. in uterus
Goodmorning, Ok, I had my D&C one week ago and am still in a lot of pain. Dr. said it's because of all the stuff building in my uterus. (I talked to my dr. and he did say that I have endo. in the uterus, don't remember what it's called) My question is when I go to the bathroom, when I wipe, I have this stretchy thick mucus. It seems like the fertil mucus you have before you ovulate. If it is, then I will be "O" soon and then my AF will come. I'm very worried about the pain when my AF comes. When I had an ultrasound a few days ago the lining of my uterus had built up to the way it was before the D&C in just a matter of days. What should I expect when AF comes? I'm already in so much pain right now I can't imagian what it will be like when it does come. Will I get some relief from the pain because it will all come out or will I be in even more pain? Will I bleed even more than my normal AF? I had an ultrasound a few months ago and the lining of my uterus wasn't as thick as it is right now, thick, but not as...and my AF's I bleed for 2 weeks, heavy for one week and then gets lighter for the next and I have huge blood clots, and easily soak a pad in an hour.(that lasts all week) Does anybody have any idea what this AF might be like?
If you had a D&C a week ago all that endo should have been removed. They scrape the lining of your uterus during a D&C. I had a D&C Aug last year and my period after was heavier, but I was in no more pain than usual (I have endo also).
After the D&C they gave me an ultrasound and my uterus looked like it was supposed to,empty, but then a few days ago I had another ultrasound because the pain is very intense and all the stuff in my uterus had returned. My Dr. said it looked as if I never even had the D&C. But he is sure that it wasn't there the day after the D&C. He was hoping that the lining wouldn't be as thick after the D&C, but wasn't expecting it. And it's looking the the only thing to help me now is a hyst. But he wanted to wait to see if I get my AF and what it was like to decide. I guess there is a chance that my body will snap into gear or something. But acording to the ultrasound that isn't happening. I'm scared that this next AF will be worse than my normal AF which is BAD. I'm wondering if I should just go talk to the surgen about the hyst. now and not wait and see what my AF is going to do. The pain is still intence and I can't function without pain meds. which I really hate!
How old are you? I would get a second opinion ASAP. Your dr isn't even looking into anything else that could be causing this? He just wants to give you a hysterectomy right away? That's crazy, if I were in your situation I'd be running to another dr! Good luck!
Why,didn't they do another d&c?If after you still have built up you can have infection or worse,infertilaty.If he/she told you to wait till AF than yes,it will be painfull,bloody & long.I m/c at 8 wks.And bleed ALOT for 1 mon.& had alot of pain.Hope you feel better..nanis
I'm 28. But my husband and I know we are done having children and our Dr. knows this. I have been having AF, pain issues for years now. We have tried so many things to try and help me. The hyst. wasn't the first choice for my Dr. We first started talking about it about 2 years ago. And for insur. reasons, they won't pay for a hyst. unless we have exhaused every avenue...which we have. Some of the other women on here have suggested also that I get a second opinion, but I'm not sure about that. We have come to the conclusion that we are definatly finished having children and I just want/need the pain to just stop and nothing else has worked after years of trying. And now the pain isn't just during my AF, it's all the time. Everything seems to jsut be getting worse as time goes on.
We talked about doing another D&C but he said that the same thing will probably happen again. My mother had D&C after D&C and it just kept coming back. My Dr. said that it's pretty much pointless to do that because he is pretty sure of the outcome. He is just hoping that after this next AF my body will somehow get itself together. But he isn't expecting that will happen. But I'm thinking that I should just go and get the hyst. now and not wait for the AF. I'm afraid of that pain. Mostly because I'm in a great deal of pain right now and I'm not even bleeding.
I'm 29 & have 2 kids.Since the day I got my 1st period I have been in pain.But not to the point of hyst.I still want more & after my ectopic I will ttc in jan.I'm sorry you r in so much pain.I to suggested a 2nd opinion but its what you decide,you r the one in pain.Your dh will be by your side & your kids also.I hope you do what makes you feel better & relif from the pain of years of anguish(sp?).Your in my thoughts...nanis
Thank you. I feel like I am running out of steam with all of this. I feel like I am just finished fighting this battle that I know I won't win. But I don't know if that means I'm giving up. But I'm not so sure that I want to save my fertility anymore. I know I won't be having anymore children, and with a hyste. I won't have these problems anymore. So did I just answer my own question? So why am I still having doubts?
