Before Scott first left for the military, I couldn't go 24 hours without seeing him. It was about two weeks after he left before I felt normal. As time went on, I learned patience. I learned that getting a letter once a week was fantastic, that a phone call once a month would delight me, and that being impatient doesn't do anything for a person.
Unfortunately, it seems my new found patience is only towards my future husband. I have not yet seen a doctor since I became pregnant. I called as soon as I found out I was pregnant to make an appointment, but the fastest they could see me is the 9th. I know this doesn't seem far off, but every day seems to take a month. Not to mention the pain that I'm in.
It is widely agreed upon by doctors that once a woman with endometriosis becomes pregnant that the pain will subside and the lesions will lessen because of the certain hormones that are pumped into her body. This is also supposed to happen with BC pills. Perhaps it should have been a sign when my pain actually became worse with BC pills, but I did not expect to have horrible, sharp pains during my pregnancy. I am scared to death, especially since every website and book says that this can be a sign of miscarriage. I haven't bled at all, not even spotting, but when I stand up or stretch my torso too fast, sharp pain right where my ovaries are hit me so hard that all I can do is wait for it to pass.
Today it got worse, so I called the doctor again and left a message with the nurse, telling her about my concerns. And now I'm waiting again. Waiting for the 9th, waiting for the phone call back, and dreading anything worse happening.

Just breath deeply and take some time to let go of your anxiety when you feel the pain. There is no use worrying about this when it might be nothing at all. Just do your best to take care of yourself and to relax and let those waves of worry just wash over you and go along on their way.
