endo and reoccurrent miscarriages

Hi all,

I had a laparoscopy last week, I was lucky as it was only one month after suspecting I could have endo. Although I think it was the cause of my 6 miscarriages and 2 failed ivf attempts. I’m feeling pretty enraged that not one of the 5 fertility doctors I’ve seen suggested it could be endo, even though you could clearly see my ovary was behind my uterus on ultrasound. It turns out it was stuck there with endo tissue. I feel really strongly about raising awareness about this at fertility clinics. They sent me for so many other tests that all came back normal (the cynical part of me keeps thinking that these tests were all ones from which they profited from). It blows my mind that they seem to rely on whether you missed work because of pain or bleeding as seemingly the only criteria used to assess whether endo could be a factor.

I’ve had all of my endo removed, but I’m now nearly 41, so naturally worried that we may still continue to have a bumpy ride ahead.

Has anyone else had similar experiences of reoccurrent miscarriage due to endo?
