Hey,

i don't have any advice right now. I'd have to get ahold of my friend. She has endometriosis and her and her husband were trying for over 2 years. They gave birth to a baby boy in march. All I remember from the top of my head is that she did a lot of testing and that she had a dnc. I don't believe she was on any kind of medication or anything. I will try to get in touch with her soon to find out more. But it is possible. I hold out hope for you. Talk to your Dr. He might be able to guide you or get you in touch with a specialist who will be able to help you further.

Good luck

I too have endo. It is heartbreaking, and at only 19, I want children very badly. I am almost to the point of trying now before it gets too late. On december 3rd I go in for surgery so that they can try to burn the endo cells off my overies, uterous, and nearby organs. Good luck with everything. My mom had endo too, and she had four children afterwards. Good luck babe.

For those of you suffering endometriosis have you discussed a dilation and cutterage with your doctor (d&c) do not confuse this with a method used for abortion. It is a very useful and safe operation when done by a skilled doctor to reduce endometriosis and help with pregnancy.
However, discuss in full with a skilled doctor first, I am not one and can not say this would be right for you.

I got pregnant twice with endometriosis. Once before the laparoscopy and again after. I can't promise you anything, but it is possible. If your doctor doesn't offer you a laparoscopy to remove your endometriosis, find a new doctor. I got pregnant after only four months after the surgery, the first time took years. Good luck.

I had endo since 2003 and it was crippling me continually. I was told that I'd NEVER have children by my specialist and my surgeon. My fianc���© and I kept on trying and trying but no avail. Then in May 2006, I got pregnant but had some complications. My little girl was born healthy in 2007 and I'm so delighted!! I no longer have endo, after another bout of laser surgery in late 2007. I'm now planning to have another this year. I hope that hasn't offended you, if so I am so sorry.

I don't have any advice in getting there but just hang in there and don't give up hope...ever!! It can and will happen for you, it happened for me. My rock solid faith in God brought me through the hardest times and I thank Him everyday for our daughter. If it doesn't offend, I'll keep you in my prayers. The Bible says that "nothing is impossible for those who believe" (Mark 9:23). So don't give up hope, just stay strong and positive and I wish you both all the very best!!

Hi Sweetie!
I have suffered with endometriosis, and ovarian cysts for years.
I tried to get pregnant for about 4 years..
I went to numerous doctors, that didnt really take me seriously because of my age. (I'm 22 now).
I ended up meeting a chiropractor who I fell in love with. I started getting adjusted regularly. (At least once a week).
From getting adjusted and getting my nervous system aligned and everything working/put back into place.. within 3 months I became pregnant!
I just found out this last Friday!
I'd definitely check into chiropractic care, and see if that makes a difference for you.
Good Luck!!

my doc told me i might have endo, I am trying to get pregnant for almost a year, my doc told me,i have to still try to get pregnant!!! i dont know what i have to do. i want to change my doctere because iam 29 and i dont want to miss any chance to get pregnant.

Hi,

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March and had a surgery in April. I'm currently undergoing 6 months Lupron injection. My doctor is suggesting me to go for IVF once my treatment completed.

But i found, IVF in chicago is causing about $18k - $20k for a single cycle. I don't think i can afford that. Are there any chances for me to get pregnant withotu IVF?

I have had grade 3 endometriosis and have had my left ovary and fallopian tube removed. My partner and I have been trying for a baby for over a year. I have regular periods but nothing seems to happen - I am loosing hope that I will ever become pregnant.

I have endometriosis as well... I was scared to death about my future fertility as my OB/GYN told me "when you're ready to have kids... don't wait, it may take a long time!" I spent quite a bit of time worrying that I would have trouble getting pregnant (my mom had a lot of trouble getting pregnant.. Im an only child after 5 years of fertility drugs!) Being 25 and unmarried with no immediate plans of getting married and trying to conceive, I was concerned that I may miss my chance...........

Then a couple days ago I found out I was pregnant. Oops. Plan B has failed me!

Luckily I have a great boyfriend who is in it for the long haul.
While this is a shock (really thought it would take at least SOME effort.. or at least lack of effort to prevent pregnancy) I have mixed emotions. I now know that I can get pregnant!

Hang in there. Nothing is more difficult than wanting to conceive and having a hard time. I know you may hear this from everyone, and it might drive you crazy, but the less cortisol (stress hormone) the better. You just gotta relax. Keep trying, but keep a positive attitude and you'll get that baby

Oops.. one more thing I forgot to mention. I had JUST finished my THIRD cycle of Lupron. I know the research says that Lupron is not proven to improve fertility in endometriosis patients - it is simply given to improve symptoms - however I think more research needs to be done. They may find otherwise.

I feel for you guys taking Lupron, as I know it can be quite uncomfortable. Make sure you're taking enough calcium and hang in there!

In the Bible there has been chicks that couldnt get pregnant even though they tried all the time with there men. So they had there maid servents bore a child for them. Or in modern day times we call this adoption. My point is there are so many children born to these streets that will never find a home. And with no role models sometimes those kids become our future trouble makers. If we excepted adoption into our lives our world would be a little better dont you think? However that is not my point... my point is those woman back in the day adopted, and later were able to bare a child of there own. Now thoughts on the subject is that God had a plan. And its all in his hands. But those woman when there maids servents bore them a child, it let go of there stress, and depression and their lost hope... and then some how easily, they were able to bare a child of there own. It is a win win situation... dont you think?

I was diognosed with Endometriosis in December 2000 and have had so much surgey though and think that now with only one fallopian tube which could be blocked, it's not going to be possible. What I don't understand is how come I am still have regaluar periods. I feel so stupid when I am a few days late.....I think I have become lucky and got pregnant, then when I do get my period I am so unhappy and frusrated...and it's back to square one again. The more periods I have will make the Endometriosis worse won't it?

hello,
im 26 y.o and i was diagnosed ith endo and went for the surgery in july last year.according to my doc, the cyst was quite extensive and it had erupted when they cut me open ( sorry bad grammar.eng is not my first language)my doc told me that they did not remove my ovaries and uterus but he said i will have trouble getting pregnant and must not give up trying.im not married but planning to do so in a couple of years.i hope i can get pregnant coz i really want to have my own children.

oh ya one more thing.after the surgery i was advised to be on contraceptive pills to reduce symptoms of endo and period pain. i took the pills religiously for 3 months but didnt like it( mood swings) so i stop taking the pills.is it possible to get endo back and will it ruin my chances of getting pregnant in the future.i am planning to go for a more natural therapy to reduce the symptomsbut dont know where to start.help
