my follow-up

I went in for my post-op follow-up appointment last Tuesday. My doctor showed me the pictures of my insides (which honestly made me want to puke) and explained to me how much my endo. is spreading (which also made me want to puke). At this point, he'd like for me to pray about trying the Lupron shots. Honestly, I didn't feel like there was much to pray about.

The side effects said it all: Hot flashes.  Mood swings. And other unpleasant things.

Did I mention I'm 30 years old and otherwise healthy?

So Jeff & I talked. We kind of made a decision that we are going to try again to get pregnant the old fashioned way. I believe God still performs miracles, but if it doesn't happen there's always adoption. Either way we will adopt.

In the meantime, I am doing some research into natural ways to treat my endometriosis. As of last night, I am the proud new owner of a gym membership. *Woot! Woot!*

If you're reading this, would you stop right now and say a prayer that if God sees fit to give us a baby of our own, that He would work his magic and make it happen!
