Endo and TTC #1

Any success stories? Just joined Glow and feel defeated after reading about all of the struggles... I have mild endo and had a lap in 2013. Just began TTC last month.

Commenting to follow. I don't know if I have endo but my OBGYN mentioned that it could be behind a painful period I had recently. That completely set me off and now, like you, after reading all about others' struggles, I'm totally terrified.Literally as I write this I'm waiting in the parking lot to go in for a transvaginal ultrasound my doctor ordered because this is stressing me out so much.She did tell me though that not all women with endo will have fertility issues. Apparently 60% or so get pregnant with no help at all, and then more will get pregnant eventually with the help of fertility drugs or IVF. It's not impossible. She also reminded me that the women with endo who did not have infertility, are not typically the ones posting about that particular struggle. What we see on the Internet is not always representative of the whole.

No success here yet but I had an endometrium and my left ovary removed at the age of 18- docs give me a good prognosis for concieving. Started clomid this month to see if that will help.

My sister had very bad endo and she had two healthy pregnancies and conceived waaayyy faster than I did! Good luck to you!

Thanks for sharing that! It makes me feel better and I'm sure it will help the OP too!
