I have just put this in the WTT journal section but might as well put it here too and use this when I move over to the TTC section and hopefully in time the pregnancy section.
My name is Lesley I am 24 years old and my partner Adam is 32, we have been together for 3 years on the 25th July and been living together for 2 years on the 25th July too.
I have several medical conditions: Endometriosis, possible Adenomyosis, Fibromyaglia, Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobility, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alpha EEG Anomaly (a sleeping disorder), Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Localised Provoked Vestibulitis (had surgery for this on 3rd July this year), I also have damaged nerves on my back from having Shingles a few years ago, possible IBS....I think that's it, I can't think of any others right now but there are probably more
I am currently on a 6 month course of zoladex for the endometriosis and possible adenomyosis which puts your body into a temporary menopause, I also chose not to take HRT with this as I didn't see the point in taking the hormones away to sort the pain if I was just going to add them back in I also take quite strong pain killerss for the fibromyalgia, it's called buprenorphine, I was on 35 micrograms per hour until recently when I reduced it back down to 25, this is for 3 weeks and then I hope to reduce it to 15 for 3 weeks then 10 for 3 weeks and then finally 5 for 3 weeks before being completely buprenophine free, I take 8 paracetamol a day which my dr recommended as a baseline pain relief. Unfortunately the pain relief doesn't touch my endo pain which renders me useless and feeling like I'm in the last stages of labour (never had a kid but I'm sure it's how it will be, particularly with the intense need to bear down and push, feels like I need my bowels open but actually don't)
On Monday I started my third diet since I piled on 5 stone in 18 months on the depo injection when I was 17, worst mistake of my life!!! I went from 10 stone 4 to 15 stone 4, I managed to lose lots and got down to about 12 and a half stone, that slowly crept back up to 14.9 which I got down to 12.1 last August and that has gone back up to Mondays start weight of 12.13, in 2 days I've managed to lose 2lbs ....my all time wannabe weight is 10 and a half but I will settle for between 11.7 ad 11.13 (want to stay below 12).
My last Zoladex injection will hopefully be the day I return from holiday September 13th, and the 4 weeks later it will wear off and I am hoping to start my TTC journey on October 11th.
Last year I changed jobs due to illness, I went part-time, this was essential at the time but now I'm struggling financially and have started looking for a new job recently, I'm quite hopeful for one they are currently shortlisting for. My partner was recently sacked from his job, luckily he very quickly got another job however this is a temporary job so certainly not secure. We were house hunting when I changed jobs so had to delay, had to delay again due to boyfriends job and now we have put on hold until boyfriend gets another permanent contract and I go back full-time, unfortunately my current employer cannot give me the hours I want so got no choice but to move jobs again.
Well I'm sure I have gone on for far too long now
Thank you all for reading my story

Welcome to BnB!
I can't wait until next month since I am taking a break from college!!
But of course I knew he would go to sleep after he ate the hamburgers and that is exactly what he did within 20 minutes after eating. Hopefully soon he will slow down his bad eating habits. 
Don't like it one bit. I go to school for Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management. I only have 5 courses left. The reason why I am taking a break since I have to save up some money for the rest of my courses. I am happy that I only have 5 courses but upset that I have to pay for the rest out of pocket!
I guess it is better paying for 5 classes than paying for 10 classes. I have been filling out scholarship applications hoping that I get a scholarship soon. My first degree was Medical Administrative Assistant and jobs kept calling me offering me very little money, I said I did not go to college for 2 years to only be making chump change! I knew then that I should have picked a different major such as Healthcare Management, which it would took longer than 2 years to finish. Well we can keep thinking about the past, we just have to think about our future. My hubby tells me that whenever I bring up the past, expecially about schooling. I hope everything works out for you in your career! Keep thinking positive!
