Hi all, I'm new to this but looking for some help...I am 40 yrs old and trying to have a baby with my new husband of 3yrs...been trying for 2. I have 2 children from my first marriage & he has 1 all boys. This past April I started getting sick..ended up In the hospital 3x over 3 months. Had lap to see what's going on & found a ruptured cycled and stage 4 endo. The dr removed the cysts and cleaned scar tissue and other stuff but endo was to much for an unscheduled hospital visit...now my dr doesn't want me to do surgery to remove endo they want me to do IVF. We did our 1st round but none of the eggs were healthy. Dr had me skip this month and wait till next... I will start again with all the shots in hopes to have better eggs... basically is there anyone that got pregnant with IVF & stage 4 endo-without having it removed and older? Feeling overwhelmed! (Sorry so long)

Thanks for ready...

Me :)

Hi I was 37 when we started Ivf . Both having problems not sure what stage endo was at .After second free go and only producing 4 not good quality eggs both times , they told me that my eggs had expired this was what happened to eggs before menopause . Which I must say now 41 I have not hit menopause. We used donor eggs but that did not work. We ended up adopting .

I did have op a year before having Ivf first time just to clear everything out .

Hope it all works out for you x
