Hi Lynny

Welcome to the BB forum... you will find so much support from us here...

I too like yourself have nearly the exact some endo as you, except my tubes are not blocked. However, my left ovary was adhered to my bowel and i had endo all over my ovaries with the right ovary requiring some major surgery to it. I also had endo on my bladder too. I had two major ops to remove my endo last year, one for the bladder and one for the bowel. In the end they took 6 cm of bladder and 20 cms of bowel from me.

My endo went undiagnosed and i actually had IVF prior to it being diganosed, and of course it didn't work with all that endo in there. I have had a very exhausting two years in the way of TTC.

I was lucky to see a ECCA surgeon at St Lukes Hospital in Sydney. It cost my DH and I a huge amount for all my ops, as these ECCA surgeons cut the endo they don't burn it, which prevents it in most cases from coming back.

Don't be to stressed yet mate about the IVF... it is such a common thing these days and many woman undergo it with very succesful outcomes. You only have to flick through these forums to see how many do succeed and how many are undergoing treatment.

I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you around...
