Increased Endo Symptoms after IVF Stimulation

[Curious123]

Hi All, I don’t have a diagnosis of Endometriosis but my fertility specialist is highly suspicious of it. She has suggested putting off any laparoscopy until I am ready to try to conceive. I am currently single and underwent an antagonist egg freezing cycle in Nov18 with stimulation only for 7 days and had basically no side effects during the cycle.

However this year I have had increasing pelvic pain before my period has started. This has increased to the point of 5 days prior to my last cycle which started 2 weeks ago and increased pain during my cycle. I’m currently on the pill as planning to do a second egg freezing cycle in May19 which may be agonist or antagonist, still to be decided. However for the last 4 days I’ve had a lot of unexplained pelvic. I thought initially I may be getting a UTI and took a course of cystospurin, then thought it may be related to constipation but I’ve still gotten no relief after having been.

What I am wondering is: 1. For those of you with a diagnosis, did you find your symptoms increase after doing an egg freezing cycle (IVF up to egg collection)? 2. If you have done both an agonist and an antagonist cycle did you find one worse than the other for symptoms?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi- I went through a cycle of ivf and I found my symptoms were bad after it.because endo responds to hormones and basically that’s what’s used in ivf then it really isn’t the best thing for it... x
