Cycle day 5 - the drugs are taking hold

37.5

Same time every morning. 

That I don't mind and it doesn't hurt but today-------

I feel like my head is about to explode. I've had a headache for 2 days now and I'm not sure if it's he weather or the Gonal -f?

And I feel exhausted. 

I don't have my next blood test until Thursday so it will be interesting to see how my levels are doing. 

This is all fun and games and its feels like I'm on the right path. 

Day 3 - Adenomyosis

In December 2015 I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis (still learning how to spell and say it)!

Getting this diagnosis was actually a relief for me. For years I had battled sever pain before, during and after menstruation. My periods were so heavy that I would need to wear double protection (tampon and pad).





But like many women we just keep going on thinking that what we are experiencing is 'normal'. Everyone gets cramps -
Everyone has heavy flow days -
Its all in my head -
Its not that bad -
Its normal to buy 5 boxes of super heavy duty tampons each month -

Well funny enough it isn't normal!


This is how the Mayo Clinic explains Adenomyosis
