Una de cal y otra de arena....

Happy Birthday Lara!!!

I went to my OB-GYN today, who did a sonogram (again) and very calmly informed he had no clue of what's wrong with me.


However, he did say i could have endometriosis.


Endometriosis is a common medical condition characterized by growth of tissue like endometrium, the lining of the uterus, beyond or outside the uterus. One in every 5 females get endometriosis. In endometriosis, the endometrium is found to be growing outside the uterus, on or in other areas of the body. Normally, the endometrium is shed each month during the menstrual cycle; however, in endometriosis, the misplaced endometrium is usually unable to exit the body. (according to Wikipedia)

In plain English: it’s a condition in the uterus and the surrounding areas that will prevent you from getting pregnant.

If there was one thing I was scared of in my life, was not being able to have kids. Now it seems that's what's gonna happen ... I might not be able to have kids.


I would have LOVED to call Dina and tell her what had happened, but right now I dont know who's mad at who.


Am I too pendeja that I don't wanna call her?
Do I give her time to call me? To chill???

Fuck.
Today I feel really alone.
Sad.

don't give up. they thought i had endometriosis...turned out not to be. turned out to be some crazy pelvic pain that didn't go away for years but eventually did.

so doctors...they know little. but see it through...because even if it is endo, you can still get pregnant.

hope is everything. don't give it away easily! :)
