Hi,
After suffering with severe endometriosis for over 20 years now, ten surgeries later (1 laparotomy and 9 laparoscopies and 1 round of Danazol) I have recently been diagnosed with severe Adenomyiosis. The scar tissue around my tubes, ovaries and surrounding regions from the removal of endometriosis, not to mention the adhesions from all the surgeries has also put me in the high risk category of ectopic pregnancy.

At the moment I manage my pain via acupuncture and chinese herbs (over 3 years now) and most recently a natropath as well (will try anything)...although the pain does appear to be getting worse, not to mention the constant bleeding.

My partner and I are booked into see a highly regarded Melbourne IVF specialist in August, to see what my options are with my quite 'sad state' internal infrastructure. My online research has not come up with much information on how Adenomyiosis impacts IVF? and whether it is possible to go full term? I would really appreciate hearing about others who have had similar experiences.

I have not had any children and with being 39, the odds are not looking good and seriously thinking of a hysterectomy (pending IVF success rate) to better my quality of life.
