Endometriosis?

Question

My husband and I have been trying for over a year to conceive with no luck. About 6 months ago I started to feel pain during intercourse, which sometimes leads to bleeding. It almost feels like everything moves up when we have sex. I went in and my doctor told me I have a tilted uterus, which could be causing the pain. 
When I was 15 I went on birth control for bad period pain, but since I’ve been off the pill my periods haven’t been as painful. The more I look up endometriosis the more it feels like I have it, but I’m just wondering if anyone has had any luck with pregnancy without getting surgery to correct it? I want that to be a last option, and I’m not sure what else to do 😞
What is everyone’s experience with endometriosis?

Answer

I have medium endometriosis although a lot of pain associated with it, especially bloating and inflammation. I just had my first child four weeks ago (we tried for ten cycles before we got pregnant). I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst a year before I fell pregnant and while operating my doctor removed a lot of the endo scar tissue). We started trying after we got the all clear two months later. Even after that, it took a while. I eventually began taking a turmeric supplement and doing castor oil packs between the end of my period and the start of ovulation to help with the inflammation. I don't usually put much faith in holistic remedies,  but I had noticeable differences in the bloating and got pregnant the second month after incorporating those two factors. I figured they were cheap and not harmful, so why not try?

My best friend had surgery at 15 for it,other than that she was on birth control to help with the pain.She had two kids after that,and just last week at 23 she had to do another surgery bc the pain started again.Good luck

Answer

I was on birth control since I was 14 bc of endometriosis, I had symptoms as well as a strong family history of endometriosis and infertility....we got pregnant after 2 years of trying with no intervention. I will say that my husband had a slightly low sperm count and we got pregnant not too long after that was corrected. We did everything we could to make sure we didn’t have anything else making it any harder to conceive, from checking my husband to just cleaning up our diet and lifestyle...good luck!

Answer

I have endo and it took us 14 months to conceive. I’ve had the surgery and the endo came back after a year. I would not suggest getting surgery if you are ttc because that’ll cause more scarring from the surgery and will make it harder to have a baby. This is what we were told when I asked about having the surgery again. I did experience pain when having sex so we found different ways to avoid that for several years, and you def can’t have rough sex because that will be very painful. Also, I never experienced any bleeding with my endo and my obgyn said I had it pretty bad when he went in to do my laparoscopy.
