Newly diagnosed with endometriosis

[danielle3440]

Hello ladies

I am new to this so bear with me as I don't have a clue lol I'm 23

Been In agony for the last 6 years with my periods very heavy been trying to get pregnant for the last 5 years. In between arguing with my doctor to get a referral to see the gynecologist they took me off the list twice without my knowledge. I had a scan on my ovaries and it revealed a. Small cyst not enough to convince the gynecologist to see me, anyway I eventually got an appointment after another year of waiting and I had a vaginal exam were she said I have endo on my cervix and suspects my bowel aswell as I have unusual pain there. She has suggested I have a lap and dye through my tubes to test them. In the mean time I'm so devastated as she said she suspects its the cause of my infertility how are u supposed to cope x

I know your news may have come as a bit of a shock but don't right off your fertility yet! The good news is you are now past the GP barrier and beginning to get somewhere!

Ladies with endo still get pregnant. A good friend of mine has severe endo. She had a lap and dye flush and got pregnant within three months of her lap. I've heard that this happens quite a lot. Unfortunately it didn't work for me

There is still lots that can be done. Even if your tubes are blocked you can still undergo IVF or ICSI. So don't panic yet. There are still lots of unknowns and options ahead. You also have age on your side. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 33 (after battling with GP's for four years). I wish I knew my situation sooner.

Infertility isn't an easy ride and we all have bad days. There's another Health Unlocked forum called Infertility Network with lots of others going through the same thing. If you ever need to talk, rant or ask a question there's always someone to listen there.

Good luck with your journey. Take every step at a time and try to stay positive xx
