Advocate

I really feel like I need to warn others with Crohn's, Colitis or IBS....be aware that your fertility can be adversely affected simply by having the disease. My hydrosalpinx was caused by a bowel perforation that dumped sewage in my pelvic cavity....this is not uncommon among women with bowel problems. I have had Crohn's for 11 years and I had never heard that my fertility could be damaged until it happened to me. Even women who have had an appendectomy are at risk. I really feel like I need to speak out to help women preserve their fertility....I don't know how I am going to do that yet, but I really feel that it is important.

In other news, Lupron shot #6 was this morning! I should start stims on Wednesday, but I need to fight with my pharmacy again first...they gave me the wrong needles for the follistim pen. When I asked them about it, the pharmacist yelled at me that they gave me everything that they got from the supplier. yikes! Either way, I need those needles!!!

Happy Monday!
