Hello everyone,

I thought I'd send an update. I got married in Feb as planned and was a beautiful day. Nearly drowned on my honeymoon but that's another story.

Since getting married, we've probably had 4 failed cycles TTC. The first we tried to time (2 weeks before period), the other three attempts timed at all. Couldn't 'do it' for a month due to chicken pox shot.

Our specialist has tried to clear up our 'reduced chances'. He said that instead of a 80% success rate of conceiving in one year of trying, ours is at 60%.

However, my wife has for the last 3 weeks experienced similar pains prior to being diagnosed with endo 1 1/2 years ago but slightly worse. She had another ultrasound two weeks ago and showed it coming back on the right ovary. Just saw the specialist today who said that she most likely has it on the left also as the ultrasounds don't necessarily show endo.

We took one of his suggestions which was to give it 3 more cycles of trying before taking another ultrasound and then possibly another laproscopy (with dye in the fallopian tubes this time to see if they are blocked). He said even if she gets pregnant, they'll have to then test for ectopic pregnancy. So, for the next 3 cycles, we will be looking closely at timing.

It's hard to time. Makes it monotonous. I'm so jealous of people who conceive easily. I'm talking about the pros and cons nowadays about having children. But I may be kidding myself and trying to give myself a softer landing.
