Suspected Endometriosis before IVF
I suspect I might have endometriosis, I’ve had my OB suggest that based on symptoms. Nothing has showed up on an ultrasound and my tubes are open. I’ve had very painful periods from a young age and was on BC most of my life. I used to have pain with sex which has gotten better. Sometimes I have such excruciating cramps I feel lightheaded. This only happens the first day of my cycle and that’s the only day I bleed heavy. If I take Advil regularly I can sometimes avoid the cramps.
Anyway we’ve been ttc for 1 year. All of our tests look good. We did 2 failed IUIs. If the next fails we will move on to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> the following month.
I’m now getting worried my potential endo could interfere with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> success. I never got a laparoscopy because I feel I can manage my symptoms, I’m just nervous this is the reason we are not conceiving.
Does anyone have a similar story or advice? Thanks in advance!
