hello to you!
first, I have to say my husband and I are not LTTCers (yet), but i think i will get more answers here than in the TTC section. So here,s my story, and question. My mother had endometriosis. According to the doc, it was supposed to be a mild case and have no impact on her fertility...well 6 years later, she got her first BFP...good thing it was only a mild case...I'm glad she's not my doc! But everytime she tells me about how she found out she was pregnant and how happy they were, I just feel happy and grateful. Well thing is, i worry I might have it to, since it's hereditary. I started my periods at 11, and they were annoying and quite painful the first day or so, but advils did the trick. When I turned 16-17, they started to get better, and now (25), I just don't take anything, or just acetaminophen every once in a while. My doc didn't find anaything wrong at my pelvic exam. And here's my question: I've heard that with time, as endo gets ''older'', the pain sometimes goes away, even though the endo can be extensive and cause scarring and adhesions? Has anyone experienced this? I'm supposed to see my doc again in a month and ask him to get a lap done.
Wow, sorry for the long story. Baby dust
