I live in chronic pain. The reason for my pain, is Endometriosis. I was diagnosed through surgery when I was 17. I have decided to have this blog, so that those in my life can get a peek into my day to day issues that affect my life in every way.

Lets do the Math

33-(10+5)= 18

So for the last year i have been on a drug i found out about online, thats not FDA aproved but is used as birthcontrol in India. I personaly dont trust it to keep me from being a mommy but i was on it for its side effect of a longer cycle.

Before i started the medication i has a 22-25 day cycle and in that cycle there was one week to ten days of pre-period pain and crazy pms, then there was 5-9days of heavy bleeding. However after i started this medication i think even my first cycle my cycle jumped to 30-33days, and after time my bleeding days shrunk to 3-5days.

Well, now the one doctor that my mom thinks might be able to do some problem solving for us (and my very cpmplicated case) says he wont touch my case and nore would any other doctor at least not while i on this medication.

For this reason i must get off the medication and go from a longer cycle that i always knew when to expect almost to a shorter cycle with more days bleeding and no idea when my period will come.

For your info the medication i was on is named Centchroman.

Christmas might still be okay!

Aright,

I have personal "good news" and bad news haha.

Good news is now that I did the math today it appears that although I will have my period on Christmas it should show up days before Christmas eve day (our Christmas with Scott’s family) and Christmas and boxing day (our time with my family).

This math only could be figured out today though, seeing as my period came early.

Today it came. Although my cycle is longer than most women now, and much longer than my natural cycle, it wasn’t as long this time as it generally is while on my experimental drug. That drug is Centchroman, and since I am now stuck on my back today I should post about it. Anyways though my point is my cycle on that drug is generally 33 days. Today marked only 30 though. This is still a great improvement over my natural cycle of 24-26days and an impressive jump from what my cycle was only a 4years ago of 16-19 days.

So, yay I won’t necessarily feel like crap on Christmas :)
