Hello, dear. For the most part they are the same as for women having no endo issue. This is dizziness, fatigue, sickness. Also light cramping, but not spotting or bleeding for the most cases. If there are any you should consult with your GYN immediately. I am a disease sufferer, having gone through several ivf procedures. The last one was de ivf in biotexcom, the 3rd att only being successful for us. So I experienced nothing special about pregnancy symptoms being in the case of endo, that's it.

Wish you all the best. May your dream come true. Hugs.

Just seen this Hun, thank you for replying! I've done two tests a and both negative. Had the symptoms but also others which threw me off a little. And it's been the first period I have missed in a long long time so I panicked a little! Thank you for your help xxx

Hi Chloe,

Initially, no, not in my experience but obviously everyone is different. The early signs of pregnancy in my case reflected what other non sufferers had told me and common signs listed on websites everywhere such as sore boobs, nausea and fatigue. This sounds like the normal run up to a period but my giveaway was going off coffee and my boobs were much more painful than normal. All pregnancies are different though, I suffered a miscarriage with my first and my second pregnancy had slightly different symptoms, for a start, I didn't go off coffee!

Once your body starts to move things about, you may get a little more pain or discomfort than non suffered if you still have scar tissue or adhesions as these will be stretching and moving as your baby grows. There are so many different symptoms and everyone is different, endo or no endo. I hope this helps xx

Big help thank you! Just got round to seeing this!'o had the symptoms but was just my endo playing up! First period I had missed in a very long time as they are normally super long and super heavy and so I panicked a little but two tests later and still not pregnant! I hope I am fertile though for the future! X
