I'm very new to endometriosis and feel totally lost about it all. We've been ttc for 2years and it was only at my recent ultrasound the consultant said I had endometriosis, 3 cysts and frozen ovaries.... And left it with 'we'll discuss at the next appointment'. I'm panicking like anything as I have no idea what will be next, our main aim is fertility as I am fairly symptom free. Any ladies out there give examples of what could be next? Laparoscopy or Ivf first? X
New to endometriosis - what's next at gyn... - Endometriosis UK
New to endometriosis - what's next at gynae appt?
Thank you for your reply, it all sounds very daunting. I just hope I don't have to wait too long for a laparoscopy after I've seen the gynae.
Yes I'm in the Uk - in south London.
For ages I thought I was completely symptom free but having read more into since my diagnosis I am beginning to realise there are symptoms which just became the 'norm' for me. My period is 7days with brown blood for days after, for the first two days I'm heavy and a little bit of pain - nothing a nurofen won't get rid of though, occasionally painful during sexy but only in two positions, sometimes bowel movements can be sore - for ages I had diagnosed myself with IBS and on my ovulation days I get twinges!!!
Thank you, I hadn't realised I was able to ask for a referral so that's great to know. I will look up an Endo specialist in the area.
