Stage 4 endo: wacky anatomy. How about you? IVF Cycle 5

[VMJ007]

Hi Ladies. I’m 39 on my 5th cycle. I have egg collection in 2 days. My left ovary has at least 7 follicles. But my Dr said… me left ovary is VERY difficult to get to. Endo blows! He said my “anatomy is different” cause of the endo ams scar tissue. I hate endo. Any other stage 4’s?

Hi. Endo is horrible and is a silent disease that seems to be the last thing they think of. I completely understand and have been there, i also a stage 4 +, i had a full frozen pelvis, deep infiltrated endo, my right ovary was reconstructed and wasn’t expected to function and my left had extensive surgery and was also thought to be very damaged and they couldn’t even touch my bowel and bladder it’s beyond help. Told even ivf wouldn’t work but we took the chance and that chance is a very energetic two years old 😀 so even when they say it’s unlikely it can happen they just don’t understand how as I was in a terrible mess internally. I did follow the endo diet for pain management and took a few supplements but not sure if that had any impact. Good luck and hope it works for you. Xx
