I'm Kind of a Big Deal
I'm just so full of awesome that I had to get some of it out.

I didn't want to tell you all this in such a quick post, but I don't have time to give out the whole story.

So, Um, finally I saw a doctor today who actually knows his ass from a hole in the ground.

After a brief consultation, I had a date with the dildo cam. (Which, by the way, is kinda weird with your husband in the room, who has no idea they even DO THAT.) He pointed out my ovaries and follicles. Then he said, "see this? This is an endometrioma. It's almost covering this ovary. Oh, look at this other ovary. That endometrioma is much larger. That is a classic sign, basically diagnostic, of severe endometriosis."

So, he tells me, I have stage 4 endo. Highly unusual, getting diagnosed over an u/s.

Game plan- surgery!!!

Hysteroscopy to take out the fibroid tumor that is taking up residence inside my uterus, and Laproscopy to take out ALL THE FUCKING ENDO.

Mid-August.

YIPPPPPPEEEEEE!
