Endometriosis

Donna

Does anyone have endometriosis and trying to conceive? If so, what fertility medications are you taking??

Thank you all for your responses. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 17 years ago (when I was a teenager). I've had a few surgeries, including one where they had to remove my right ovary, tube, and appendix. Since that, I haven't had issues. I conceived our first son completely natural with no trouble 4 years ago. We've been trying to get pregnant again and had a miscarriage last year. Now we've been seeing a fertility doctor. I've done letrozole 5mg, Ovidrel trigger shot, and progesterone for 3 months with timed intercourse. December we did our first IUI with all the same medications and they added estradiol. Unfortunately, I've had horrible issues since... I started my period 9 days early and also started having rectal bleeding. I saw a general surgeon today and hes certain that the endometriosis is on my bowels and possibly inside my bowels. Tomorrow I have an appointment with my fertility doctor. I'm so discouraged and in pain.
