Give Me a Break..!!!

Hi all, where do I start? well from the beginning I suppose (edited version of course)

At the age of 5 I needed apendix out, was left with water infections etc..

I had laparoscopy 12 yrs ago, to which I was told I would never concieve naturally but no reason why.

Years and years of ridiculously heavy periods, some lasting months at a time, was put on the pill to help, but made things worse, I was put on allsorts.

I was in the doctors not long ago and they said "I see by your notes you have endometriosis", Well I was shocked, it was news to me..!!!

A couple of months ago I had my second laparoscopy, found out both my fallopian tubes were blocked and full of fluid, they were drained and had the blue die put through them.

Still blocked, the endo was so bad, one of my tubes and overies had managed to wrap its way under itself and stick to my bowel, ( no wonder I had all that pain over the years)!!!

Surgeon had to reconstruct my fallopian tubes to look like tubes. I was told my tubes will last no longer than 6 months before they reclose and the scar tissue will be much worse this time round, so surgery isn't an option.

This was my one and only chance for a baby, I have not managed to concieve yet and only have 2 more cycles before time's up.

Have also just found out that My husband and I are not eligable for IVF on the NHS as he already has 3 children, his last was born 15 yrs ago.

I can't understand how that's relevant, I have no children of my own due to endo so I don't understand why I am being punished for my Husbands previous life.

So basically my fingers and toes are crossed that by some miracle I manage to concieve in the next 2 months, if not then it's a hysterectomy.

Has anybody else managed to concieve within 6 months of having surgery for this problem? I need something to hope for as I am only 30yrs old.

Thank you all for listening. xx

Sorry to here your news... Have you tried acupuncture..

I had this for pain relief.. But several ladies that where having trouble conceiving it worked? Chinese herbalist ones are the best.

My sister has pcos had while having acupuncture basically all her symptoms stopped.

Good luck xxx

Hi sweetie, I have no advice on this for you I'm just about to be in the same situation as you. I have my 2nd lap done thursaday coming remove as much endo as possible from bladder, bowels, ovaries and tubes then I have a 6 month window to conceive. I really hope it works as we have been ttc 2.5 years. And we can't access ivf on nhs due to postcode lottery :0( fingers crossed and best wishes that you get your well deserved bfp! (big fat positive)! X x x x

Awww thank you cheekymunkey, we have been ttc for 9 yrs with no luck. God I didn't realise it goes on your postcode too, it's ridiculous.

I hope your op goes well and hope you have better luck than I am having.

Wishing you all the best on the next stage of your journey.

Fingers crossed. xxxx
