plc - Hi, I have a question for you....Did you have severe endo or just mild? The dr told me I only had a mild case but it still could have been causing us to have fertility issues. He said some people only have to have minor obstacles to have problems whereas others can have more severe issues but never have a problem. I guess I just wonder as I had my lap a few weeks ago and am due for AF next week and so hope it doesn't come! Trying not to get my hopes up though but it is so hard Big to April!
Apologies Mel for the late reply!! My endo was only in the earliest of stages and it was causing my infertility. I had no warning signs - no pain at all - but as I am a 28 day cycle girl, the only curious thing that happened was that I had 2 cycles in 3 that varied by 2 or 3 days which was very strange for me - and one of those cycles lasted 3 days instead of the normal 5 days. My ob was the one who suggested to have the lap - it never ever occurred to me that I might have had endo. When I had my lap, the endo was found and cut out straight away. When I was able to start TTC, we conceived straight away. That's why I am convinced it was the endo that was causing the infertility. Endo, as you say, is such an erratic condition. You dont necessarily get pain and infertility is not always an issue. Was your doctor happy for you to TTC straight after the lap? I was advised to wait (even tho it was the hardest thing I have done - very upsetting) til 6-8 weeks after the lap. I am glad I did cos it just gave my body a full chance to recover and get back to normal. Happy to answer any other questions if you have them. Big hugs hun - you WILL get your baby.
