Endo updates..... how are you travelling?

[Kylie B]

I understand completely where you're coming from. Hang in there...do you know when you'll be re scheduled?

I should introduce myself...I'm Kylie, 33 years old & had suffered with endo since I was around 19. I have had 4 laparoscopies to laser the endo & countless meds to try & keep it clear. Here's the good news...after many doctors telling me I would never conceive, I have had three healthy children, with little trouble conceiving (the last one being born 10wks ago). In my case, it seems that ever since I had my first child 6 years ago the endo hasn't returned! Anyway..all the best to you. It's a wonderful day & age we live in in terms of medical technology & how it can help us with this disease. Every day I'm thankful that I had the option of surgery open to me!

All the best to you!

hey mumzword this is a great idea! thanks for suggesting it

kylie B your story is an inspiration that i needed to hear. thanks for sharing.

my story is recent, discovered severe endo last year on a routine lap investigating infertility. i had NO symptoms which now i know what they are I am eternally grateful for. however, the disease had done a lot of damage and i had poor treatment at first (my journal has more). there is a high prob that i have it in my bowel but my dr and i are ignoring it as i have no symptoms and am focused on TTC.

i have a feeling it is back again but i can't tell without another lap. so i am ignoring this and heading down the IVF path while the drs will still agree to do it. problem is they say the stims of IVF can accelerate the endo so it is a battle to see whether endo or pregnancy will win out!

i am feeling very hopeful and i will get pregnant this cycle and it will help my endo.

mumsz i hope you get your day in theatre very very soon.
