9dp5dt and endometriosis pains

[Jodes-2018]

hey guys, so I don’t exactly know what it is that I’m asking today however, I’m 9 days post 5 day transfer. Yesterday and today I’ve had some pretty intense Endo pains mainly in my left lower abdomen and rectum lovely right?

Now, I haven’t had any Endo pain since stopping the stims so as you can imagine I’m not feeling too optimistic right now. I stupidly tested yesterday and got a bfn so yeah…. I think I just needed to vent, to like minded and relatable people

This is my first round of IVF the stims totally triggered flare ups how blooming difficult is this?! I have one freezer bambino left. Ahhhhh!!!! I certainly cannot imagine going through the medical cycle again

Hey 👋

Welcome to the rollercoaster.

I am in a similar situation to you. I have stage 4 endo. I have it on my ovaries the surrounding areas and also my bowel. I understand the pain and the mental pain it causes. I had my transfer on Friday but I had a frozen transfer so it’s slightly less pressure on the endo. I remember when I did stims it really effected my endo in the 2WW of a fresh cycle. I’m on day 4 past transfer today and last night I had some endo pains and that horrible pain in my bum like it feels like it’s going to collapse. Horrible I know but my kind always associates endo with my period coming. I havnt tested yet as I’m going to hold until test day as I’m so scared to see that negative test.

On the plus side to give you some reassurance I have my baby boy who is 2 in February.. he is my ivf miracle. He was a frozen transfer. I’ve had a failed attempt since him and this is my second FET since having him. I’m trying to complete my family. Please don’t loose hope. Here to vent to if you need it. I’ve read your profile and too endometriosis also has a massive impact on my life. Jobs etc xxx

Ahhh that’s lovely to hear you’ve had a success. But oh my goodness yes I wish I’d looked into the impact it has pain wise. I’ve spoke to my clinic who says to rest until actual test day. And not to think this has failed 😞

Oh yes the bum pain is horrendous, it actually does feel close to collapsing doesn’t it? What a rough ride this is emotionally and physically it’s not for the faint hearted that’s for sure.

Hope everything works out for you this cycle 💛💪🏼

As your clinic said take it easy- hope pain settling. Try a soothing bath and some painkillers it might give some relief

yes I’ve took paracetamol last night. I only have a few twinges today nothing like yesterday, slight spotting but not much at all really. I’ve been extra cautious and only showered for the tww is it ok to have a bath? Or is that a silly question 🙈🤣 xx

As long as it is not a roasting warm bath it should be ok

I'm really sorry you are going through this 💔 I have endo and it's really an awful thing to have to deal with. I haven't had success yet after 10 transfers, I really believe the endo was preventing a successful pregnancy growing normally. I was lucky enough to recently have surgery, which I wish I had done years ago.Have you considered an endo suppression protocol or doing embryo banking before surgery? Seems like this really helps the success rates for most of us endo ladies xx

[Jodes-2018 in reply to Chel91]

My consultant took my case to a summit for Endo and they suggested IVF without suppression and before anymore surgery. I have a low egg reserve however, based on tomorrow and Fridays test results I think they may reevaluate

I’m just holding onto the bit of hope I have left in this moment.

If this wasn’t meant to be then I am open to working a better route out treatment wise. Endo really does impact everything, it’s such a shame like we could all do with a break right?! 💛💪🏼
