Ever think you had Endometriosis and gotten pregnant?

Question

Im new to this app and I've been ttc for 8 months and nothing. Positive opks and obsessing but nothing. I've always had irregular cycles and heavy periods and I'm worried that I might have endometriosis and I've spoken to a doctor before and they just recommended birth control to regulate and ease my cycles but that's pointless if I'm trying to having a little angel. Any advice ladies?? I'm in need of anything right about now!! Lol

Answer

Just flat out tell your doctor you want a laparoscopy.  It's your body not theirs and you are the one paying. I am in the same boat and have my 1st lap jan 27th. I complained for years and when I went for my pap I exaggerated how long we have been ttc and how bad my symptoms were because they don't care until they see an issue. All my dr did was do a blood test and said my progesterone was consistent with ovulation. Duh I know this I had cramps the whole time! So I went back a month later and wouldn't open my legs until the dr answered some questions about what a normal period should be. I said "so I should not have cramps everyday and have shooting pains that make me almost pass out?" He said probably not and I told him I want a lap. He said we will get one scheduled :)

Kells - Doctors don't care! Ever since I was 13 I've been complaining about irregular and heavy periods and always in the back of my head I've been worried about whether or not I could have children & over the years all the doctors just pushed my thoughts aside or recommended birth control and now that I'm ready for kids I'm struggling because my issues have never been fixed. But Monday I'm calling to make an appointment because I WILL get my BFP soon!!

Answer

Rebecca I'm from the uk and have appointment on 28th

Unfortunately I have found that docs don't care just keep bugging EVERY month or go private

It's a long road but I have heard marvel results once confirmed

Wish you all the best xx

@keisha... Well said!

Answer

Don't do it! Bc will only prolong the process of conception! Once u take them, you stop ovulating, and even after you stop taking them, oftentimes, your ovulation takes months to start again. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis, and in most cases, the best (and sometimes only) way to get rid of it without bc or hormones, is laparascopic surgery to remove, or burn the endo. I just had my second lap (first one was diagnostic, no endo removed) and my husband and I are excited to start the process of conceiving out little one! If I were you, I would thoroughly explain my desire for a baby in the near future, and come up with a solution to get rid of the endo, without compromising your chances of  pregnancy . Don't let anyone defer your dream, even your doctor, and if he does not respect your wishes, then it's time to find another doctor. Bc is not the, it's a setback. Do what's right for you. Sending lots of baby dust your way, and I'm hoping your dreams come true soon! Good luck!

Answer

Maybe it is time for another opinion. There is only one way to find out for sure and that is laparoscopic surgery. :(. (Just my two cents.) I know that it is possible though. Keep the faith!

Answer

Liz - I hope this month is it for the both of us!! If not, I think I'm going to try Fertilaid since I've seen a lot of good reviews and at this point why not? Good luck to you!!!

Glenda - thanks for your response. my doctor thinks I'm fine though so I'm just trying to take matters into my own hands since my doctor and I aren't seeing eye to eye on this lol (:
