Endometriosis and TTC anyone? (newbie here)

[cherrycherry]

Hi Everyone,

Im wanting to speak to my fellow endometriosis sufferers who are TTC and would like to share stories, tips, advice etc.

A little about me - have been TTC for 2 years! had 2 Laps in between with excision and was told to try for the next 6-9 months naturally. Well we did that and nothing.... just completed an IVF cycle and FAIL! so now looking at diet changes etc before we attempt another in hope that it will have a positive impact on our next cycle.

come join me in the fun journey... lol

Hi there cherry!

I am a fellow endometriosis sufferer, I have been LTTTC for 10 years now.

26 months here, lap done at the end of Jan. I had adhesions cleared and one black spot. We're also facing MF. Still nothing.

I was actually surprised I have endo because I displayed no symptoms. We went ahead with the lap just to be thorough.

That's interesting you had 2 laps done. My doctor said one is enough. He also recommended a shot called Lupron that is to slow down endo growth and proven to improve fertility. I believe you can take it 3 months to 6 months, but you also have to be on BC as well. I haven't done it yet since I'm hoping the lap will have helped us conceive naturally.

As far as any other tips, there's nothing we can do about the endo. Sucks.

Hi ladies! I am 32 and DH is 31, all tests were normal, but had Stage 3 endo removed at the end of March. I have been seeing an RE since May of last year, we finally did a lap & hysteroscopy to rule out endo because we have been ttc for almost 2 years and never gotten a bfp! Like armywife I had no symptoms so I was shocked at the severity of the endo. I also had 2 fibroids removed from my uterus. I have had one cycle since the surgery on clomid with trigger and iui, but it didn't work. So we are onto our second cycle of clomid, trigger, and iui now! I go in for my midcycle u/s tomorrow.

Good luck girls!! Looking forward to sharing this journey with you!!!
