My endo has knocked me this month! I normally battle every month, but this month I am really battling with extreme fatigue and pain. All I want to do right now is cry. I am not sure what to do with myself. I am also not quite sure if my hormones are taking a dip too as a result of the premature ovarian failure. But I definately feel pretty useless and emotional.
Some of you may recall that I had a lap last year and the results were not good. You can read about that here.
I was suposed to go on some Lucrin and then have a Mirena inserted, but I didn’t do it…….I know that one of the reasons was financial. It was the end of the year and we had no more medical savings. The Lucrin is expensive and I simply don’t have R6000 lying around. But I supose I could go on it now because our medical savings have been topped up, but I’m still hesitant. I am worried that the Lucrin will turn me into a hormonal monster and to be honest I am dealing with enough at the moment. I don’t need to be pushed over the edge.
And so I am not sure what I should do….
I am not going back to the FS. I need to go and have my yearly smear so I reckon that I will book an appointment with a gynea.
There must be another option to the lucrin. Something natural? Something to balance my hormones….Urgh I feel crap!!

Shame Sian. There is nothing worse than feeling so crap. I would contact your gynae and ask about a natural remedy, or failing that contact a homeopath who should be able to guide you to a natural course of action.
Hope you feel better soon.

Sian, I have been seeing dr PJ Venter when im in jhb… he is somewhere in dodgyville but he is a homeopath and has specialised in infertility – obviously not a reason to see him but perhaps he can suggest something natural to help you?? worth a call I think – his no is 0113933444 oh and he’s a pharmacist so he is contracted into medical aid which is AWESOME!!!

Sorry Sian!
If you’re looking for a natural remedy then perhaps it’s time to give Dr Debbie a call.
Hope you feel better soon!

Sian, my endo wasn’t nearly as bad as yours. But I have gone on the Merina after the boys and I can gladly say that not having the period – I don’t get the pain and discomfort. In general I have less pain (even sexually). The Merina however doesn’t change your hormones – only intra-uterine hormones. As for the Lucerin replacement – I hope you find a good alternative.
