This just feels plain WRONG!

So I started my BC pills last night... I'm on Femcon 35 (the chewable version of Ovcon 35. That's just hillarious... Chewable BC pills? Like they're too big to swallow or something?!?!) As I sat there with my new little white pill in my hand (which actually smells minty, go figure!) I was having this internal struggle in my head.

"Take the pill, Alex"

"No! This stuff makes me STOP ovulating and makes my cervical mucus HOSTILE!"

"Alex, take the stupid pill, it'll make the bleeding go away."

"No! Bleeding means I'm ovulating... Ovulating means there is still a chance!(even if its less than 2%...)"

"Do you WANT to have another Lap in a few months?"

"...no..."

"Take the pill."

"NO! I want a BABY!!!"

"GIVE IT UP, GET A GRIP, & SWALLOW THE DANG PILL ALREADY!"

......... *gulp*

*Sigh*

Then my right ovary has a particularly painful twinge and the stupid logical voice in my head says, "See? Told you so!"

Poop...I tried to post...did you get it? It said it was "duplicated", so, I hope the first went through! :)

Alex,

I'm so sorry to hear about your inner struggle! Have you gotten in touch with Amanda, the girl who commented on my page about the Mirena? She has a separate endo blog, and she's super helpful. I hope the mirena works for you, I know she told me it worked for her for nearly two years before her endo came back with a vengance. But apparently the first month is really painful. I've heard that from other people too.

I hope you're well!

ReadyGo,
I tried to find her Endo blog but I must've missed it. She has 2 but none of them seemed Endo-related unless I totally barin-farted it. (Which given how I'm feeling wouldn't be surprising)

I have been following Native Iya Hindi herbal product l for a while now and today i felt like i should share my story because i was a victim too. I had endometriosis for 18 years and i never thought i would ever get a cure due to the terrible symptoms i had and this made it impossible for me to get pregnant even after 12 years of marriage and it was a serious issue. I got to know about Native iya Hindi who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cure and let her contact details, i contacted Native Iya Hindi and she actually confirmed it and i decided to give a try too and use her herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 this December and i am grateful to God and thankful to her for medicine too. If you have (Endometriosis, PCOS, Fibroid, Ovarian cyst, Ectopic Pregnancy or any infertility issues) just reach her on (hindinative@yahoo .com) she has professional advise and a cure too.via WhatsApp messenger +19145295224 visits his register website: https://iyahindinative .com/
