HCG might be my new friend


Last week my hubby and I drove 2h to my Napro appointment.   I pretty much expected that another surgery would be recommended due to my increased pain.  I reminded my doc that the last surgery gave me some relief but I still continued to have pain shortly after the surgery.  I also reminded her that of my family history of early menopause and that I was at an advanced age and the reason for the light period is may be due to age.   So at P+7 I am going to have a blood draw for a test to determine ovarian reserve and see if I am indeed approaching menopause.   She also suggested post peak HCG may help with building endometrial lining and I may respond to my own hormones better than taking the estradiol.   This will avoid aggravation of the endometriosis by eliminating external estrogen.    She also said HCG will help with the PMS.   So I said I will take a prescription for HCG and will discuss with my husband if it good idea.   I am not too positive that it would help with the lining but the possibility of it helping the raging PMS I am experiencing recently have me interested. 

I came home that day and was reading up stuff on line on HCG and found this
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15690968.  It is a study from 2004 claiming HCG might help with endometriosis pain.   Although I am not too keen of injecting myself it may be beneficial for me to at least try it for a couple of cycles and see how I respond to it.

A few days after Easter I was hit with the worst PMS ever.  One day I walk up and felt off, you know the kind of off feeling that has you brace yourself for what it is going to bring.  I was fighting the feeling of just feeling utterly crappy the whole day when I finally gave up and just sat and sulked.  I took it easy for a few days.  By last Sat I was feeling better and spotting brown stuff and waiting for AF to start.  AF never showed up, all I got was brown spotting for 2 days.  Just wonderful.  The brown bleeding may be what ever residual stuffy from the hysteroscopy.  I had bought those cheap HPT tests so just to make sure I tested for the next three days.  Mind you we are avoiding so at the off chance that it may be possible to get pregnant on P+4 action hahaha, yea.   So the problem is my boobs hurt a little, I am seeing fertile CM at cd4 and a little nauseated at night.   I have no idea what my body is trying to do.   The last few days I feel great.  No pain, no blotting and just feeling good.  Just enjoying the easy ride after the awful feeling from last week. 

Hoping HCG will give me some relief
