Hi

Yes i am in the inverness area. We still havent conceived and been told by my gynae consultant that our best chance is ivf however i feel the stress that would put on me and our relationship would be too much as it would need to be private. I am stable at the moment pain wise and remain on pain managment rather than any hormone treatments. Good luck and if you want a chat or someone just to listen im always here.

Im not far then im in forres. Aw im sorry to hear that hun its hard and stressfull isnt it. Oh u have to go private because its your second? You ever thought about adoption if u dont go through with ivf? Heard a lot of women on instagram who have endo still concieve. Maybe try some herbal treatment? Agnus castus is good o just started it and the first month trying it i ovulated at a normal time through the month cus i was ovulating way too far past normal.my cycles are like 35 days long. I was sore today cooking dinner n had to stop n hold on to the counter felt like someone was pulling my ovaries thru my abdomen..so annoying that it just comes on randomly i swear people must think im weird i have to say its ok its normal n they look at me like ...no its not lol. I have a trying to concieve account on instagram its helpful. Private no pics of us or names so no one knows its me n the ladies r helpful if u have an account let me no ill follow :)

Hey, I had 4 ops, 2 major and a few rounds of prostap. Came off the pill and conceived almost straight away, had a few mc but now six months preg so almost there. I have no idea what level my fertility was prior to surgery as we hadn't tried before - we had about 5 years of hospitals and one op after the other so kept having our plans delayed. 

I will say I was also on the Endo diet, lost 3 stone, went to weekly acupuncture with a fertility specialist, did bbt tracking and every other fertility method under the sun, plus both of us gave up alcohol completely and were on pregnacare vitamins!! So god knows what worked!

Ps have just seen this post is really old - soz, I hope you're doing much better now and progressing with treatment xx

To mjbradf - you can private message people of you want a chat.

Also try weight watchers app - I found it amazing dropped from circa 15-16st to under 11!
