Hi Molly, I have standard endometriosis (if there's such a thing). I have a beautiful but cheeky 2 year old and am pregnant at the moment. Both IVF miracles.

It doesn't help everyone, but I adjusted my diet about 5/6 years ago as it was recommended to me and I cannot explain how much better my condition got. I basically cut out meat and dairy and replaced with lots of fruit and veg. I am now vegan and live generally free from the tramadols and daily crippling pain. Obviously that time of the month is still blah, but nowhere near as bad.

Everyone's story/path is different, what works for one of us doesn't for another, but I wanted to share my story, like we do, in the hope it may help you.

Good luck on your journey, I have everything crossed for you.

thank you for taking the tine to reply & hope your pregnancy goes well. Thanks for the tips on how you deal w endometriosis, I also suffer & will definitely look into the meat & dairy issue. Endometritis believe it or not is slightly different, its a bacterial infection in the lining of the uterus which can be caused by/ from ivf procedures, surgeries etc. I had my tubes removed following a miscarriage & think i got it then. Oral Antibiotics havent worked so far but hoping to get iv antibiotics. Thank you again & very best of luck, X

May i know what are your symptoms?

in reply to introuble

Hi, thanks, yes finally got the infection cleared up from a course of iv antibiotics. Currently on 2ww so fingers crossed as we ve no more embryos left and this is it for us.

My symptoms was intense pain when I tried to have sex, no other symptom other than that.

Hope that helps, X.

Good Luck & pray for you! please update me!

in reply to introuble

Hi, I would ask your doctor about having a hysteroscopy. If you have pain it means something is wrong. You may have an infection from the D&C. I got an endometrial biopsy done and this identified the infection.

Very best of luck. X.
