Endometri-what?!

The day has come. It is time for me to see my new gynecologist to get things checked out. I’ve prepared for my appointment by taking time to write out allll of my symptoms.

In search of some answers

I woke up this morning feeling so fatigued and kinda in pain. Well,maybe discomfort is a better word. I had planned to get up and read for a bit before work, but I felt too exhausted and just not ready to start my day so I allowed myself to sleep for another hour.
