I also had suspected endometriosis in the past, more recently scans did not seem to confirm it but I guess it depends on who is doing the scan. How did you know you had endometriosis?
so AF came today and 2 days early. i'm too busy this wkend to even find time to have a good cry and my very own little pity party on the couch. i'm so frustrated and sad. i don't want to give up i'm starting to feel old and shriveled up inside in spite of all the good things i'm doing. i always feel like it's very possible for everyone but that i'm always on outside looking in. grrrrr!
Some great ideas here! Been with DH for 16 years now but life got in the way and so we started trying about a year ago. After my celiac diagnosis 2yrs ago and fixing my food I finally feel like the body is ready for a little one.
The lady who does the Gluten free goddess blog has some amazing recipes. They are all gluten free but you won't be wanting for flavor!
It fixed a lot of my health problems. Ohh if you want a good starter recipe, try the pancakes!! Amazing!

thanks Ladies! it so helps to talk to all of you. i finally got some alone time today and was able to just let it out. tears. then i made myself get off the couch and went and purchased a new supplement to take to maybe help balance out my hormones. i'm so tired after ovulation that i can hardly function which is what has prompted me to do this paleo diet thing. maybe the two combined will help with things. it's DIM. has anyone used it before? suppose to get rid of excess hormones, bad estrogen, for those of us with some estrogen dominance. with my hx of endo, i think i need this. any thoughts?
Hello Ladies - I think Jen is the expert on the paleo diet
Interesting just how many things have wheat in it!! You just don't realise! And that's totally amazing about the weight loss!!
I just briefly browsed the Elana's Pantry recipe. Some of the recipes look very doable for me. I absolutely love vegetables of almost any kind so it would be easy to make that work for me. Thanks to the garden this year, I have an abundance of butternut squash, zucchini, and rutabagas. Giving up milk wouldn't be a problem. Now starches and carbs....that could be tricky but there seems to be good substitutes...sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and spaghetti squash which I do love.
It does look like this could get a little pricey. I notice a lot of the recipes call for almond flour. I haven't looked, but I'm not even sure if this is available around here or not.
I'm going to give it a shot after a little more research. I like to be prepared before I start something. I'll see how it works for me. For me, to go "full on Paleo" right from the start would be too much to handle. I'll start small making little changes and go from there.
Can anyone recommend any recipes? Nothing too involved or pricey to make. It's good to have an idea if something is actually good before trying to make it.
Thanks!
Despite trying to maintain a healthy diet and good lifestyle my AMh has dropped even lower in the last 8 months. I am confused. my blood flow to the reproductive organs is very good and yet my FSH keeps claiming up and AMH is dropping down. Is there no correlation between lifestyle and aging or is my body just decided to age despite all my efforts?
