Has anyone been successful with IVF first time with stage 4 Endo?
My consultant says that I need major surgery to basically unstick my bowel which could involve bowel resection and
colostomy
and that I should try for a baby straight away as there is a major chance I could lose my ovaries during the op :( IVF is apparently my only option of getting pregnant but sadly

Lap done, next steps...
I am terrified of something going wrong and ending up with a
colostomy
bag or worse, but hate the thought of this thing growing inside me and not having any control over it.

Do you irrigate?
Irrigation is a somewhat under-promoted method in the UK for managing some types of
colostomy
, where rather than wearing a bag you empty the bowel when you flush it with water. It would be nice to make more people aware of this topic.

Stage 4 and scared....no....make that terrified!!!
At some point I would need major surgery involving gynae, gastro and urology surgeons to remove the endo which could result in a bowel resection and
colostomy
and my only chances for having a baby were through IVF. The only question was what to do first.

Up and down !
A
colostomy
that misbehaves on occasions! when "normal" people have diarrhoea it does not overload their
colostomy
cap and dribble all over the floor without them being aware there is a problem! finding the drips and dealing with them is an added problem! Sorry!

Is a colostomy a good solution?
It has made me housebound over time due to uncontrollable diarrhea, and now i have just recently became a dad and i feel its about time i gave up on the trial and error of untold amounts of tests and treatments and go for a
colostomy
to give me the freedom to be an active father and allow me to go back

Adenomyosis possible diagnosis and want to conceive. What are my chances?
With a risk of
colostomy
and losing my ovary because it is on the blood supply althoug he said he can usually move the blood supply out of the way. I couldn't handle losing an ovary!

Only option is hysterectomy ( total pelvic clear out).... Help!!!
The only option is hysterectomy but even then I could end up with a
colostomy
. I haven't had children yet n desperately want a family but am stuck between having the op and losing all chances of having children or living in pain all the time.

Time to tell my story
Then I had a bowel perforation needing a
colostomy
, obstructed kidney needing a stint and was started on Asa but due to my liver failure and continuing kidney failure they needed to stop. Started on cyclophosphamide but lost my white cells and needed the rescue drug.

My Journey, as promised!
Unfortunately it resulted in a non reversible
colostomy
and I have spent the last year learning how to manage it. I have learned to irrigate, which gives me control and, very soon, I will dispense with bags and use caps to cover the stoma.
