Welcome to Móni's endometriosis success story!
Nori and I laughed about how this was going to be such a cheesy and corny story that there was no such thing. Just like it's written in the big book.
I came from a bad relationship where there was everything but physical aggression. Nothing was good enough, a typical case of if there was meat for dinner, it was because I was getting fat and not paying attention to our health, if there wasn't, it was because he was working all day, he needed energy, what would he do with a fried avocado?
He never hurt me physically, but plates, glasses, avocados were regularly flying around in the evenings.
Fortunately, that's all in the past, I struggled for a long time, but I dared to get up, I dared to get out of this hell. I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when endometriosis struck, I didn't understand.
Then years later, when I found Nóri, she was the one who explained that it's like when you get sick on holiday, before you just couldn't afford it because of the rush, your body gets tired, you drive.... and when you can finally relax, your defenses are released... well, that's how it must have happened in my case.
I was most bothered by the constant, almost constant bleeding, the pain was limited to a few days and was manageable, I could work, even if sometimes with clenched teeth.
As a newly divorced person, this possible infertility that was mentioned didn't really affect me, but I wasn't surprised because I didn't have a baby in my marriage either.
At first, I was scared about what it was all about, but I'm very lucky because before I was completely sucked into the internet madhouse, I got to Nóri and we talked through my plan of action, and it saved me a lot of time and energy.
I know myself, if it wasn't for this support, I'd probably be stuck in a world of forums, information and googliabarate. It felt super to have something in my hands through our action plan that I can do for myself and no longer feel helpless.
And now for the cheesy part!
Because then, when I least expected it, out of nowhere, my childhood love, a story from when I was a little girl, a story from when I was a toddler, appeared! We have a photo of us holding hands in the kindergarten yard, with the squirrel wheel and climbing frame in the background...
By chance, we found each other again after all these years. He was newly divorced, I was newly divorced, he had a one and a half year old daughter who was spending a lot of time with us, I felt my life was round, even having babies was a way to get by despite the endometriosis...
Very soon, after 4 months, we decided not to use protection, just in case, although no one encouraged me, and two doctors told me not to dream of a natural way, an IVF. I thought it might be true, because in my marriage we didn't use protection for 4 years, but we didn't have a baby, and we didn't have a good relationship, we weren't so keen on the subject, but four years is a long time.
I thought that my partner and I could take 2-3 more years, I'm still only 33 years old, we'll try spontaneously, and if not before then, I'll somehow convince myself to have a fombie. So I was at peace when I didn't want to conceive after the first month.
But I didn't suspect anything yet, because I didn't feel anything, I didn't feel nauseous, I didn't feel tight in the chest, I wasn't tired, I was active, I was busy...
Yet it didn't come, yet it didn't come.
I did the test, it was a strong positive, and since then we have heard the baby's heartbeat.
I can't believe I did it right away, after 4 years of failure, with a fresh endo diagnosis, right away!
Well, this is my endometriosis success story, I carry it here under my heart. I'll tell you, but only you, because even the family doesn't know: it's a girl.
Thank you Nóri for all your support, help and useful tips. I don't think I would be where I am without you!
