Long story short my partner and I have been TTC for 9 months. I recently had a 5cm endometrioma found on a transvaginal ultrasound, it is causing pressure and pain. I have my laparoscopy booked for two a week and a half from today. I have been advised to take birth control again atleast until I am fully healed from the lap. Then we can begin to try again. I don’t wish this disease on anyone. The birth control will hopefully prevent the disease from growing back quickly since it is so unpredictable. I could get the lap and it will grow back within 3 months or it may take years. But by suppressing my monthly period it will give it less to feed off of to grow back.. it is just so disheartening and this is definitely now how I thought my TTC journey would have gone. 8 years of the pill out method and 9 months the of diligently timing everything with not so much as a single positive test… during my lap they will remove the cyst, ablate any endo as long as it’s not on my bowels (will have to seek a specialist and get another lap if it is on them 🥲) and luckly my gyno is willing to see if my tubes are blocked during the surgery as well. I think me being back on the pill has gotten to my partner as well but he is trying not to show it because I’m already so stressed. He made the comment he always wanted a kid at 30 years old and he just turned 30 this august. And i always wanted a kid by time I was 27 and i will be 27 in February. I just feel so broken as a woman. Like why isn’t my shit working how it is suppose to be. Now I can’t even continue to TTC until basicly January 2025 😢 it is really eating me up inside.
