Will I be infertile ?

[scared]

I am 36 and had endo for about 4 years, and just been told I have endo cysts on my left ovary. They put me on the pil for 4 months, no stop week, and after I will have to try for a baby. Is there any indication how long it takes for endo to make you infertile ? I had very heavy periods for 4 years, worried it has damaged things.

Before i fell pregnant i had heavy periods and had a lap and had endo lasered, 6 months after i had coil inserted within a yr i had it removed caused it caused a infection, i fell pregnant 5 months after x I was told i had a 95% chance i wouldnt ever have a baby. I now have a 16 month old son, so stay positive, miracles can happen x

Thanks so much for this amazing story. so happy to hear you now have a 16th month old son. Yeah i'm trying to not think the worst. but have my bad days ! Is it true as soon as your pregnant all the symptoms go away ? I've got so much back aches....x

They can do, mine did, but now i'm in the process of bein referred back to Gynae as they think its back with avengence x But i have heard success stories, that once they have fallen pregnant that it completely disappears x

I am 28 years old and just found out am in 5th week of pregnancy and had endo symptoms from when started periods as a teenager, and was diagnosed with endometriosis and a medium endometrioma in my right good overy last year. This cyst was drained, and surgeon found in the lap that I do not actually have a left fallopian tube and left ovary is tiny and non-funtional, and my uterus is a bit small.

I fell pregnant in the 4th month of trying for a baby after course of 3 month prostap injections (my period cycles started back in october last year). There is hope for everyone in my opinion, whether I am just lucky I fell pregnant or that mother nature is a cruel but persistent creature, I don't know, but time is not an option for us ladies with endometriosis as it can cause so much damage when left untreated. I had been trying for a baby for a year before my lap and nothing, since the treatment and cycles returning it shrunk my endo and left my reproductive system healthy enough to conceive, and fingers crossed that I will make it full term.... as for the endo, hope it doesn't return.

Congratulations Zolta! That's such great happy news! You seem to have lots going on 'down there', what a journey you have been through. I do have to keep positive and sometimes not get bogged feeling that mother nature is unfair. I work with teenagers and sexual health, and see so many teenagers getting pregnant even after taking the morning after pill and using condoms, and they don't even want a baby.......sometimes stuff like that really does not make sense to me.....anyway, thanks for your responses! I hope for all of us the endo buggers off soon.....
