Hi! I am reading this post and helps to keep me positive. I am 33 and have IV stage endo. We are trying to get pregnant from last 3 yrs and after laproscopy finally stared my IVF yesterday. Other than dr. treatment and medications please suggest if I can change anything in my lifestyle, eating habits or any thing else to improve my chances. I don't drink and smoke, vegetarian. I saw some people posted about putting hot water bottle, walks etc. Also should i avoid drinking milk or switch to organic milk?
My dr. put me on birth pills from yesterday does anyone else gone through same process from?

Hi, I changed my lifestyle a lot really limited alcohol and ate foods as recommended on endo diets but also upped my protein, loads of good oils and avocados, went to reflexologist and tried out bee pollen. I was on zoladex for 6 months after a lap and stopped for 3 weeks prior to starting ivf - after 3 weeks of ivf drugs they noticed I was already pregnant - so there is hope for stage 4 endo. I really hope all goes well on your journey - I found reflexology so relaxing (they should be trained in fertility)
During my successful IVF cycle I only changed one thing and that was eating a lot of protein. Plenty of turkey, full fat milk, chicken and protein bars from health food shops. My Dr's said there was some research that suggested protein helped with egg quality. On my first unsuccessful cycle I had acupuncture and did all sorts of stuff but to no avail whereas I relaxed on my second. Ate a healthy diet as normal, didn't drink and increased protein intake. Good luck with it. Wishing you success. X
