Hi Ladies
Just got most of my endo removed last week (still some on my bowel) I'm just after some success stories that are out there who got pregnant after their endo was removed. How long after the removal did you get a BFP and was the BFP concieved naturally, ivf, iui etc? I dont see my FS until 6 weeks time. im getting toey. Thanks all
I personally can't share one, but yesterday my friend shared hers with me. She had difficulty conceiving for about 6 years, she and dh went to see a specialist and it was discovered that she had a uterus full of polps - doc said 'well there's no room for a bub in here' and also removed areas of endo. She went on to conceive naturally not so long after and has recently had a second bub with out any difficulty at all.
Hi Toby. You may find that your FS may want to put you on medication for a little while to help supress the endo coming back before you go through any more fertility treatments, but he will discuss that with you at your post op appointment. As for me, I had endo first removed in 99 and went on Duphaston for 6mths afterwards and then fell pg accidentally the first month I was off it. We weren't planning on having a baby for a while but I wanted to come off the meds and see how I was doing and what my cycles were up to etc cause I have long cycles and the duphaston gave me a 28 day one. I have never had issues with falling pg despite the endo and long cycles and have had one accidental pg, and three conceived on the first month of trying. The endo was never a problem again until after the birth of my 4th child and I had another lap in december last year where I had new adhesions removed from my uterus and bowel and also some adenoymosis was discovered this time. There are many, many women who conceive naturally and without trouble after endo. I really hope you are one of them.
Hi Toby,
After 3 failed IVF cycles (2 stimulated 1 FET) I had a laparoscopy in 2001 to remove what turned out to be a quite severe case of endo and to try and repair a blocked fallopian tube. I went on to have 3 more IVF attempts before I fell pregnant naturally in 2003 with my DS and then again with my DD in 2007 (she was the result of an FET using embies we had frozen before my DS was born). I was told that the endo will probably come back within two years but as far as I know it never did and now have two beautiful children!
I wish you all the best.

Hi Toby,
I had a laparotomy done last July in which I had my left ovary and tube removed due to a 10cm cyst and also had my bowel scrapped and had a stent put into my ureta as it was squashed due to the cyst and it was causing my left kidney to fail. I was off work for 6 wks and after 3 mths I started IVF. My FS told me to go straight into IVF because firstly of my age and my DP sperm was a bit iffy. I had 3 full stim cycles and am now pg :D
Good luck and I hope you get your little miracle soon.
Take care,
Tania
After having endo removed I was put on the pill to control it. When I came off 5 months later to conceive my cycles went wacky and I got diagnosed with PCOS! So it turned out the problem for me falling preg wasnt my endo in the end but PCOS. With fertility drugs (clomid) I am now pregnant.
Best wishes!
Thank you ladies, I can see a glimmer of hope at the end of this very long and winding tunnel. Congrats on all who have a BFP and for the others our turn will come very soon
Best wishes to all.
Hiya,
To cut a very long story short I had a lap to remove severe Endo and 10 months after we started DTD again I fell pregnant with DS, so it can happen quite quickly. When my DS was 19 mths I fell pregnant with twins but unfortunately lost them, but fortunately fell pregnant 3 mths later with my DD.
And I'm now pregnant with our surprise baby 8 years after my DD (pill baby) do it certainly does happen.
Just try to keep positive and not focus on it too much (easier said than done I know).
Take care and all the best
Cheers Missy
