I was DXed just last January, and I've been trying to control my symptoms with diet alone because my husband and I have been trying to conceive. At first, it was fine.. the diet didn't really help - but I have been in pain for so long, I figured "Great.. now I have a name for the pain, so I just have to wait a few months to get pregnant, and then I'll be fine.. after the baby pops out I'll be able to start some meds and get on track with this whole thing" Well, it's been 3 months and I'm not feeling so upbeat anymore. The diet isn't helping. I am so strict but I'm still in constant pain, I have constant pressure, and my flares occur daily - and they seem to be getting worse not better despite my strict diet and large amounts of water I'm drinking. So tomorrow I'm going to see my doctor to see if there's a better treatment plan. I'm so nervous.. because I don't want to be in pain anymore but I also want to have a baby.
You know, any advice you have would be great. About what to ask my doctor tomorrow, or what to expect from the appointment. Any treatments any of you that are pregnant (or trying to get pregnant) are using and that are actually HELPING! I just want to have some hope. Thanks!
