Today I went to the specialist in Kent and I'm so happy I went. It was well worth the 3-4 hour drive. I had to have a TVS first to see what my pelvic organs were like at that moment in time. Now I mentioned to her that on my MRI it said my womb was faced forward but tilted towards itself whereas ultrasounds before and this internal one today shows it sitting backwards towards my spine. I have no cysts today which is good but I showed signs of adenomyosis. Everything else was normal and perfectly fine. It hurt quite a bit when she pressed on my uterus through the vaginal wall through the POD though. I got up perfectly fine after but shortly after I experienced cramps and have been every since. I'm getting bad pain in the places it was hurting when she was pressing which was inevitable.

I then went to see Mr Chappatte who was amazing as every has said and he took a brief history as they all do and asked what I wanted him to do for me. I didn't really know what to say as I've never had the option. My mum said that I just want to know if I can have children and to get rid of the pain. He said that they're three options; have zoladex or prostap, have a lap or have mirena. I'm not too keen on the thought of the mirena but if it will help then I guess its worth the try. Again he asked what I'd prefer but I have no idea what would be best so he suggested that I have zoladex or prostap for 3 months, go back to him for a laparoscopy and whilst I'm having the lap, he'll do a dye test and put the mirena in if I choose to have it.

All in all, he's everything and more than I expected and I'm very grateful to him and his team for being amazing. It really does pay to go private...well NHS but it's a private hospital.

Thanks for reading and hope you're all well.
