Ovarian Fossa endo? Anyone else? Please read.

Hi everyone,

I've got endometriosis in my ovarian fossa, diagnosed by a lap 4 years ago.

My pain hasn't got any better and I'm worried it may have spread as I've only had management treatment no surgery.

I'm more concerned now too as I get married next year and would then like to start trying to conceive.

I'm battling to get another diagnostic lap done despite increasing pain and clots during my period. I also can't access surgery in Wales due to no specialists. They are constantly putting me on d tours to avoid a cross border referral.

I'm in so much pain. I was an avid gym goer and now I can't go cause it completely drains my energy and on top of my job role I couldn't face being in bed at 6 each evening!

I guess I just want to hear if anyone else has ovarian fossa endo. What are your symptoms? What have they done to treat it and what have they said about fertility?

My consultant told me - in her words - get pregnant now and have my insides removed...!

Thank you

Hi Hayleylouise. I was just googling the removal of endo from ovarian fossa and the removal of a cyst as my daughter had surgery (a laparoscopy) yesterday - I have her notes but was unable to meet with the surgeon/gynecologist yesterday. This is the second time she has had surgery to remove endo (in New Zealand, not the UK like yourself); the first time two years ago at 18. This time she has had a Mirena IUD inserted during surgery to see if this will help with reducing the grow of endo. The initial surgery did help with her menstrual pain and even though she has had to have it again it is worth doing. I have also read that having endo removed just before trying to conceive is recommended by some gynecologists. I am sorry that you are going through the pain of endometriosis and hope this post helps in some way.
