So Monday I have an appointment with the fertility specialist as I can’t have children without help because of the endo, the op didn’t really help, has anyone else had to go through this? I feel like it’s just constant fights with the doctors and appointments and it’s emotionally draining me I don’t think I’ve even got my head round needing help to have a child yet let alone have to face it. My partner is really supportive but I just don’t feel like he understands how I really feel and it’s starting to affect me all the time

Hi Chloeeemily, I had an op in July 2016 which didn’t really make any difference, I started my IVF treatment in Nov 2016 which was successful my little one is now 7months and doing great. It is really stressful and difficult but if you start the fertility treatment with an open mind it will help. I had a nice pregnancy no pain, no sickness and a natural birth. It’s helps you have supportive partner but they never understand the frustration your going through. Good luck with everything and please try and stay positive x
Thankyou it helps to know someone else has gone through what I have and has reached their goal! I am trying to stay positive but feel like it such a big thing to try and get my head round! Feel like I’m useless the one thing i should be able to do have a child I can’t!x
Don’t give up, there are plenty of options for you to try and if it doesn’t work first time just try again. I completely understand how you feel as a woman we should be able to conceive naturally and the thought of not being able to do it broke me in pieces. I have stage 4 Endo my bowel is stuck to my ovary I had an 11cm cyst on my right ovary and only my left side produced eggs. I only ended up with 1 embryo and it was successful I was so lucky even the fertility specialist was surprised that it worked so keep fighting and stay strong x
Hi. Don't give up, stay strong, I know how you feel. I have endo stage 4 and had the laparoscopy which they couldn't do anything for me. The endo is sticking to the bowel, and it affects my liver, my lung and one of my tubes. To cut a long story short of countless times I had been told I couldn't have kids, I underwent ivf and it worked. They collected 17 eggs and i got 5 embryos from it. I'm now pregnant about to give birth in a few weeks. I never thought it could happen, but best way I dealt with it was to try and keep as calm as I could and just focus. Good luck with everything X
