Advice for trying to conceive post zoladex

[SPark8]

Hi, am looking for some advice/support. I was diagnosed with Endo 3-4 years ago when I had a laparoscopy (not sure what stage I was at) and was then on oral contraceptives to help with symptoms. Then 6 months ago symptoms became worse and there was concern it was effecting my bowel so I have just finished 6 months of Zoladex 3.5mg and we are desperate to start a family. Has anyone been through the same thing? When did your periods come back and how long did it take you to conceive? Is there anything I can do to help myself?

Hi SPark8,

I’m sorry to hear about how you’ve been suffering with endometriosis.

If you need someone to talk to, we do have a network of support services that are available to anybody affected by endometriosis. Our free helpline (0808 808 2227 )is run by volunteers who have personal experience of endometriosis. The helpline is open most days – the times it is open can be found here: endometriosis-uk.org/suppor...

You may also find our support groups useful as a place where you can discuss endometriosis and the issues you are facing with other sufferers. Please visit: endometriosis-uk.org/suppor... to find out if there is one in your local area. If you find there is not a face to face support group in your local area, we have an online support group.

Best Wishes
