Endometroisis

Anyone suffer from this? I know it can cause infertility. Is there any way to treat this. I think I may have this.

Re: Endometroisis

hi. im new here. not sure when dh and i will start to ttc. maybe soon. i do however have endometriosis. i have had it since i was 15 and i am 28 now. i have been on bcp since about 16 and just recently stopped it. however, i do have pain when i am off of it. i had surgery for it, but it comes back. the dr told me i would have no problem having kids, cross my fingers... what r your symptoms?

Re: Endometroisis

I had endometriosis and had no idea about it until I went to an RE.
I also had other issues that were found through the RE.

I had a laprascopy and the Dr removed it and I was able to get pregnant. If you have endo. I would definitely suggest seeing an RE.

Good luck to you

Re: Endometroisis

I have not yet been diagnosed but I know women in my family have it. I have really painful menstral cycles that interupt my everyday life. I clot with my periods and along with some other symtoms. My dr. told me there is no real treatment for it. I found that answer to be strange but she states it has not been showned any real treatment but surgery which she doesn't recommend because it is not guarantee that it will completely go away.

However my cousin had it and it was discovered due to another issue when her doctor went in to take a cyst out. She go preggo right after that and has 2 children now. Im wondering if I should see if I can get surgery for it. I will mention it again when I finish my testing Im going though now.

Re: Endometroisis

I was diagnosed with it 3 years ago never knew I had it. The only way to truly diagnose endometroisis is with surgery. You should seek a second opinion.

I had my cyst and the endo removed then. TTC at tthe moment nothing yet though.
