Bowel endometriosis, do I need surgery to conceive?

Laura • Endometriosis & Adenomyosis TTC #1

Hello ladies 👋🏻

I have been diagnosed with endometriosis via laparoscopy and colon endosonography . The surgen was able to remove the one found in the ovaries and bladder, unfortunately, I also have in my bowel :(

The surgeon tells me I should get surgery done to remove the endo from my colon in order to get pregnant, but the Fertility Doc says she wouldn’t have surgery, and to better try Ivf.

Anyone here who had to make this decision? Or that could get pregnant without surgery?

I am miserable because it hurts SO much every month plus lately I also have rectal bleeding which is super scary. All this gets so much better if I take the pill but I want to have a baby and I am 37. I feel like I have to do something! 😔

Thank you in advance for your help!
