Advice please

[Catlover93]

Hi Ladies,

Hope your all well.

I'm looking for some advice please.

Me & my partner have decided to start trying for a baby. Does anyone have any advice on the best times etc? I don't even know how fertile I am due to the endo, but I was told by my consultant that the sooner I decide too the better. But please don't think I'm only doing it because of that lol! We have been talking about it for a while.

Thanks in advance

I agree with the doctor as the endo can return. I had surgery to remove my endo and than a month later did ivf like was advised from my if dr. Good luck! I had endo all over my ovaries and my uterus.

The best time to try is after a lap, often because they prepare and test everything whilst removing the endo.

I was also told the sooner the better, I was diagnosed ten years ago and only now I am feeling ready to start thinking about it.

I hope it happens for you quickly and easily! Good luck x

Thanks for your advice ladies!

Yes I also forgot to add to my post that I had my last lap 6 months ago - and he told me up to the first year is the best time.

I'm just dreading the intercourse if im honest! Because I get a lot of pain, I know that's awful to say and I sound a little selfish. Xx

Pain when intercourse is due to Endo? They should have removed it. If I a correct?

[Catlover93 in reply to bakersdozen]

Yes it was removed but not all of it because they were in risky areas, that what I was told anyway. I have also had women's health physiotherapy and after she examined me she said my pelvic floor muscles are very weak and that could be contributing to the pain during sex. My surgeon was very highly recommended and I was looked after very well by him.

Hi thanks for the info, I will definitely take it on board. I had the lap in a hospital, I don't know what bsge centre is?

And no I didn't have those procedures done before the lap, but I have had an MRI I paid privately to have it done because my doctor wouldn't refer me to have it done on the NHS. X
