Anyone with endo going through IVF/DEIVF?

I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo back in jan 2015. Since then we went through IVF in early 2020 and had complications with egg collection puncturing my endo cyst and causing an infection that spread to my bowels. Long story short I had to have a stoma for 2 and a half years and removal of my ovary, as well as the endo removed again for the third time.

When we tried for IVF again in 2022 I was told I have low egg count and needed to go down the DEIVF path (Donor Egg). We're currently in the process... Has anybody had a similar experience? With IVF or DEVIF? Or even stoma surgery?

I had a little girl with DEIVF.We tried twice with my eggs but I found the process agonising. The stim drugs were like crack to my endo and it went completely out of control. I had to have laps between each round due to the cysts they caused.

The eggs I produced were poor quality both times and I couldn't cope with the stims again so decided on DE.

Good luck with your journey. Any questions, please ask. x
