Conception with Endometriosis?

[Neda]

Thanks Nikki, and congrats!
my gyn that did the surgery said he got all of it, said there was a lot and it was old too, but I feel like he may have missed some in the bowels since I get a lot of my pain there. Knowing you got pregnant naturally makes it a little easier to deal with, I just want it over and done with. Three years ago I was hoping to have 2 or 3 kids eventually, now it feels like I might get lucky if I have 1 after a spending a bazillion on treatments

We ttc for 18 months before our natural BFP, but DH was the one with the issues. I had 'severe' endo on the vagina and bowel and was told it has a lot to do with where it is i.e. the fallopian tubes and ovaries are likely to make it harder to ttc whereas where I had it isn't likely to affect your chances of ttc at all. My lap (and follow up lap) were about 6 years before we fell pregnant.
Has your DH been checked? And have you had tests to make sure you're Oing etc?

Yes DH has been checked and results came back "normal" My FSH and thyroid ect have been checked, they also came back "normal". I've been doing OPK's for the past three months, had two of them show a clear LH surge on day 17 then day 19 second month, third didn't show but it could have been user erorro.

I do wish I had been given the numbers exactly on both his test and mine, after all if he is on the low end of normal for something and I'm at the low end of normal for something besides having the 'hostile work environment' it might be an explanation.

PS. my verification image was "rodants dialogue" I just thought that funny.

Sounds like all is good with you both, at least on the surface. Keep trying, taking your pre-c vitamins, POAS and :cross fingers:. Oh, and try not to go insane with all the worry, uncertainty, emotions and obsession that ttc brings! Easier said than done, I know!

too late! I am taking my vits, even had sis in law give me her leftover blackmores pre-c, back to the cheaper preg and breastfeeding ones now though, and after a year and a half I want to write blackmores and tell them that 'I keep taking their pills but I'm not pregnant yet, do I need to drink baby formula with it to make the baby?'

Yep, only just barely hanging on here.
