Endo and fertility?

[Alisha_1998]

Hi girls, I’m all knew to this and still trying to find out more, this is a bit personal but I’ve been told by the doctors I have suspected Endometriosis as I have all the symptoms

As I’ve done my own research I’ve found that 70% of women are still fertile

I’ve been thinking about myself and for the past year me and my partner have been having sex unprotected and I have never conceived in that time, could that be a sign that I could possibly be infertile?

I tried to conceive for years before my first child, I did only have 1 Fallopian tube though and confirmed years of endometriosis. My first child was IVF and my second child came naturally, it’s like my body then knew what to do. Both are my little miracles. I’d visit your Dr. or if your with a gynaecologist then they can start doing tests to rule out other stuff, dye tests on the tubes and what not. I think they usually expect you to try conceiving for a year before (which you’ve done). If they strongly suspect that you’ve endometriosis & you want to conceive then hormones won’t help you’d need a laparoscopy, that will confirm endometriosis (if it’s a good gynae that know what they’re looking for!) sometimes just clearing it all can help with conceiving. I’d also try acupuncture, I’m sure this helped me while trying for our babies. Don’t give up hope though as as you said lots of us have children xx

Ending just makes it harder to conceive- it took me almost 3yrs to conceive my 2/3rd babies but it happened AND within that time I never once fell pregnant until it finally happened.Keep trying and don’t stress.

Can’t you get a diagnostic laparoscopy to have it confirmed so u know what stage it is?

Hey, I have endo and it’s caused my tubes to become blocked so it means I can’t concieve naturally now. I had a dye test to check my tubes when I had my endo treated and they found them to be blocked x
