Endo & TTC

[lilcosmo]

Hi Ladies,

I am currently TTC#1

I was diagnosed with Endo when i had a Lap in 2000. I have never had any endo symptoms tho and since being off the pill (4 months) I have had perfect cylces and great fertility signs!

I was wondering if everything can 'seem' perfect but infact be quite problematic. I would have thought if I was going to have fertility issues that I would have some sort of indication, ie. not O'ing occasionally, irregular cycles... but my body is ticking over like clock work

I would also love to hear from any ladies with endo who have had no trouble TTC - some good news would be lovely

Hi lilcosmo...I was diagnosed with endo after my lap in 2005 and was told both my tubes were blocked and I wouldn't be able to conceive naturally.

After my lap, my cycles were pretty much perfect as well, just the little eggies had no where to go to find their swimming partners until September last year when a tough little cookie got through and I'm now 25 weeks pregnant. So it can happen, never say never!

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy And thanks again for sharing your positive story

Hiya,
I just wanted to let you know that there are some success stories out there.
I was 21 when my main un-ignorable symptoms of endo started (but looking back I had signs since I was 12). I was 24 by the time I got diagnosed (long long story), anyway I had a lap surgery in Sep 1996 and my endo was very severe and I was told I had a two year window of opportunity to conceive and was pregnant by Sep 1997 YAY.
I had my wee boy May 1998. In Dec 1999 I miscarried twins which was devastating but I was lucky enough to be pregnant again by March 2000. I had my baby girl in Nov 2000. I have three friends who also have endo between them they have had five children.
So it can be done, just keep your chin up.
All the best for the future.

Thanks so much Missya.

I love hearing the 'good' endo stories. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure you have two gorgeous children!!

Take care
