Endo & surgery - question

[Minchoo]

Hi so I have a plethora of issues:

fibroids, adenomyosis and endometriosis - with endometriomas - my issues started in 2015. Leading to a frozen pelvis in 2018.

Additionally I now have kidney swelling due to my urether being pressured due to my right cyst. Gynae wants to operate - and tackle as much as possible.

They want / wish I conceive after as I don’t have any kids.

This will be my 4th surgery.

How many operations have you had with endo?

Anyone???

9 operations over 23 years. Had IVF after the 6th laparoscopy (and acupuncture) and was lucky enough to conceive. Then conceived naturally within 2 years of our first baby, so it's possible, even with this rubbish disease.

4 ops within 4 years is hard, I had s few where they were one after the other & it feels like it's never ending. Hopefully this one will buy you some pain free time & a baby if you want one. Wish you well.

Wow Simo that’s a lot of operations!! My first one was lap - next two were laparotomy (c-section cut). Can only do the latter due to my frozen pelvis. Yeah it’s horrid. I’m glad you managed to conceive after this op I plan for OTT.
