I heard an advertisement on the radio this morning for a medical study that is being conducted to help with endometriosis and the pelvic pain that almost always accompanies it. I went on to their website when I got to work (yes, it's a slow week) and checked it out. www.petalstudy.com
I answered the questionnaire, and a local doctor's office will be contacting me within the next week or two to discuss eligibility and possible participation.
I've never participated in a medical study before, and not knowing what risks are involved at this point, I'm not sure that I'll participate in this one, but I felt compelled to check it out. Although the past year or two has been mostly good for me, collectively the pain over the past 10 years has been horrible. If I can do something to help other women, myself, and make progress with the research for this disease, I think it's worth it.
But.....on the other hand....my goal this year is to get pregnant. The two aren't going to coincide! But if Jason is going to consistently be working out of town for a while, he won't be around to make it work anyway. I'm hoping I'll know more about that by the time I am contacted. What are your thoughts?

Well, it would be good to share your experience with others if it could help. I guess time will tell on the baby, Jason being around, the study and the whole dichotomy if it is meant to be at this time all things will come together or if you are meant to pursue just one or the other it will work out that way because that is the way God works, right? Maybe since you felt compelled to contact them God is already in action and we don't even know. Whatever happens we will be thinking about you and praying about it.
Jason says he's not at ALL comfortable with me being a guinea pig....I can understand that.
