Looking for info on Endo during Pregnancy

[Lucy39]

Hello,

I have had 2 miscarriages but have a frozen embryo I can now use. I also have the option of using a gestational carrier. Everyone says that Pregnancy “heals Endo” and that I should be ok, however my Endo has gotten much worse after each miscarriage. I guess I am wondering if anyone out there could let me know how they felt during and after pregnancy with Endo— it they had any pain or complications including placenta previa, pre-term birth etc. My Endo flares now after a big meal, so I can’t imagine carrying an 8 pound baby in there. Thanks so much!!!

Hi Lucy.

My 2nd baby was born 6 weeks ago (our little miracle after 3 years of trying) we had a miscarriage 4 months before and my endo pain was so much worse after that.

I had endo pains in pregnancy till I was about 14 weeks then they just stopped. Pregnancy was fine, not complications.

Now he's here my pains are back daily (as expected) but I wouldn't say they're any worse.

Pregnancy definitely doesn't cure endo! X

Thanks so much for getting back to me! So you’re saying the miscarriage made it worse but not the pregnancies/deliveries? If that is the case then that is good news. After you had your first child, was it also about the same as before? Thanks so much— much appreciated!! Xo

Hi Lucy

I didn't know I had endo with my first baby. Was only diagnosed a year and a half ago.

I would say the miscarriage made it worse but now I'd say its pretty much the same as it's always been. Everyone is different though xx
