Anyone ttc with endometriosis?

[Loulou04]

Basically what the tittle say’s, anyone ttc with endo? I’ve not been confirmed yet but pretty certain I have it and I know it can affect fertility. Anyone in a similar boat?
TIA x

I am the same as you I suspect I have it but I haven't had it confirmed.
My symtoms got much worse the middle of last year & my cycles shortened & thats when I read up about endometriosis & realised I probably have it.
Then when I was having fertility tests in Dec they found I have a blocked tube & saw addisions & the doctor said my suspicions I have it are probably right.

How long have you been TTC? I've been trying for nearly 2 years now

My dr suspects I have it too and was going to refer me but said to try for a baby first and see what happens but I can’t handle the pain every month so think I’m gonna go back and get her to refer me. I was off pill till June last year last then went back on pill till November and have been off pill since then (so nothing like your 2 years) but I’m 35 this year so don’t have time on my side. Have they not referred you even though they pretty much confirmed you have it? X

The consultant said he could refer me but I have low ovarian reserve so I have to either choose to treat my endometriosis or choose my fertility (IVF) as he said treating the endometriosis will lower my ovarian reserve more

Oh really? I never knew that. Have you gone for ivf?

I only saw the consultant Tuesday so I'm still trying to process everything & decide what to do. He's also going to be emailing with a price of it. He mentioned I would need a high dose of the drugs to stimulate my ovaries with having low ovarian reserve so obviously thats going to cost more needing a lot of drugs.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! Have you researched everything?
