How can i get pregnant inspite of this challenge?

Are there drugs available to aid the body to conceive?

Where are the Consultants with genuine interest in this area?

Hi Bab567

Lovely to hear from you. Fertility can feel really overwhelming to those of us living with endo. Endometriosis UK has a brilliant page on their website with useful information about Endometriosis, Fertility and Pregnancy. I think that your questions will be answered there. Links to other organisations and resources are also provided. I'd really recommend reading it, the link is here: endometriosis-uk.org/endome...

If you would ever appreciate support or would like to speak to someone about this, Endometriosis UK also have a helpline run by volunteers who are endo warriors too. Check out the rota here: endometriosis-uk.org/helpline

Thanks for posting these questions. I'm sure that they're really relevant to many people in our community.

Take care,

Claudia

I’ve got 2 gorgeous girls which I had after my endometriosis was diagnosed and treated . My nearly 3 year old daughter Francesca followed after my 3rd surgery chemical pregnancy and 7 year struggle due to a delayed diagnosis of my endometriosis which affected my fertility until it was treated properly. We had our 3 month old Eliza followed after a loss of our daughter Amelia who died at 20 weeks pregnant in November 2020 and 2 other early losses. I also have a grown up son from a previous relationship. For us endometriosis was the only issue. I only needed it removed from my uterus ligaments no other medical intervention was needed. The most frustrating thing for us was the delay in the diagnosis which took 5 years and 10 months of TTC and 3 years of unexplained issues with my cycles to eventually diagnosis. I’m not sure how my first fertility dr missed it ( said I was paranoid about my cycles and too stressed🙄) 2 other general gynaes failed to connect my symptoms to endometriosis ( I hope more awareness helps other ladies not suffer for years and years like I did) I will also add I was 40 having Eliza! All my children naturally conceived. And with crap AMH. It is possible to have children with endometriosis. Good luck Xx
