    Spring - I am so sorry that AF came and that its an m/c. That is aweful... Hang in there.

    Well, my AF came this evening, so feeling very depressed at the mo. I've booked in for the hsg scan for friday so will have that done and hope it shows some problem that can explain why we're not getting pregnant....

    IVF#1 and Endometriosis

    Hi girls-
    Is anyone going through IVF with Endo? This is my first cycle and on Friday (day 6) I started getting incredible Endo pain, which I haven't had in years. DH called FS who said that Endo would get agrovated with all the estrogen, but it's just SOOO painful, and all I can take is panadiene, which is like taking a jelly bean for the pain. I'm hoping once we have EPU and stop meds that the pain will settle down. Is that right? What did you do for the pain? We're in the middle of packing up our house as we're moving next weekend (day after estimated EPU date, altho' we find out more at our scan tomorrow), and I'm just not much use.

    ANY advice would be appreciated. Not sure how I'm going to go at work either - I can't stand up, and can hardly sit. It's some of the worst pain I've had in my life.

    Trying to keep my eye on the prize and not get too down.

    (Oh - had lap in September, but couldn't remove all Endo, but think they got enough to start IVF, but will go in for another lap in a few months if a few cycles doesn't work).

    Thanks for your help!!

    B4M - How frustrating for you hun. Yep the hormones can aggrevate endo. You mention the Drs didn't get it all when they did the lap. Did they suggest you go on a drug treatment (like Syneral) after the lap to try to kill off any remaining endo before starting IVF? Quite a few of the IVF ladies do this if the Dr thinks it will make a difference. I hope you can make it through to EPU. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate ATM too. Try to be as kind to yourself as you can and rest up.

    I think lots of hugs are needed in this thread at the moment .

    You are all doing a fantastic job supporting each other and keeping up to date where each other is at. It is really great to see
