Advice

[Allie69]

Hi all endo sufferers, I was looking some advice, my story, I,ve suffered from endo for years now & had more surgery earlier this year (feb) I had a laparoscopic salpingo - oopharectomy & endometrial ablation , basically I had I right ovary removed dnt want to remove both to prevent early menopause & had endo removed as was attached to bowel, & had womb ablation (microwaved) the recovery was long & very painful 8wks , so basically after recovery felt pain free it was great,but now 8-9mths on the pain is back with a vengeance , also new pains in hips & down 1 leg, my GP says its most probably the endo grown back , I can't take much more of this horrible thing , also it's triggered off my depression again & GP not sure if I have chronic fatigue syndrome or its all comming from my endo, has anyone else experienced these problems or can advise , many thanks

Hi Aliy gyni wants to op @ specialist hospital but at the moment I have put that on hold to Persue IVF,fingers crossed I can have family then deal with things after,thank goodness IVF Happening fast as each month is getting worse I was so healthy before stopping pill (obv endo just masked at that point) would really like support group/meet with people nr me (Devon) but there isn't one nearby. I find this forum good but lil scary some days hard to get head round the condition & what lays ahead. I do hope you feel better & get help soon. If ever want to email feel free [e-mail]. V.best loux
