Another success story here. I didn't know I had Endo until it was discovered through a lap. I had been trying to get pregnant for over 12 months and saw a brilliant Fertility Specialist as part of the process of finding out why I wasn't falling pregnant I went in for a lap in Feb 06.

They found I was riddled with endo. The endo had adhered by bowel to my ovaries. I had to have another lap with a bowel surgeon as well, as I need a small bowel resection as well.

This surgery was successful and completed in April 06. I was given six months to given get pregnant naturally before trying IVF. I was pregnant by August 06. I gave birth to a beautiful healthy girl almost 12 months exactly after the last lap.

I don't think I appreciated how bad the endo was until I saw my fertility specialist and OB(who assist in the operation). They were both very proud of their work!!!

When I went to see my fertility specialist after the April lap, he said now you have six months to pregnant naturally and given they can't guarantee that the endo won't come back, breastfeed for six months then get pregnant again. I followed those instructions exactly and I am now expecting my 2nd child in Nov 08.
