Hi
I have endo, I was diagnosed a few years ago with it. I had the laproscopy surgery to clear up any tissue that was on the outside of my uterus. This is supposed to increase your chances of conceiving quite significantly. It didn't seem to help me get pregnant, but my dh had low motility, so that was also a factor.
I didn't know that they had medication for Endo? Interesting....what does it do?
My only symptom was spotting from ovulation until I started my period. I lost a lot of blood too. After 2.5 years of trying with no luck (and turning 40 next month) we decided to give IVF a try after two failed IUI's. IVF worked on the first try. I'm now 32 weeks pregnant with a big boy. I thought it would never happen. I spent a lot of time on this site for support.
I'm not saying you have to go all the way to IVF to get pregnant, as the research I did in the 2.5 yrs of TTC I discovered many women got pregnant with endo. What I did discover though is that it is different for everyone. There are 3 stages of endo. I only had stage one (mild).
One thing you could get done is a HSG. This procedure will check to see if your tubes are blocked, and the procedure itself will unblock them. Women with endo often have blocked tubes as the tissue that is usually growing outside your uterus gets stuck in the tubes. This procedure also increases your chances of conceiving in the following 3 months after it is performed.
Good luck!!
