Endometriosis with no symptoms???

[Michelleinhawaii]

I was wondering if anyone found out they had endometriosis while they were TTC?  I am 29 years old and have been TTC for almost 2 years and have went through 3 IUI's...if this last IUI fails again my dr. said he wants to do a laparoscopy to see if I may have endometriosis.  He says that sometimes the only symptom is infertility??

Thanks for your comments. I have actually been on birth control for the past 13 years, but I remember when I first got my AF I was 12 years old and I would have terrible cramps and I was very irregular, so they waited a few years till I was 14 and put me on the pill.  I went off about a year and a half ago and started TTC.  A few months ago I actually had really bad pain on my right side arounf AF time.  I had lots of tests and they found a sessile polyp in my colon and that was that.  I am now wondering if it could in fact have been endometriosis pain?!?!

pls353 ~  Did you have a laparoscopy?  Are you still TTC or did you get pregnant?

I got diagnosed while TTC.  I had had difficult cramping/pelvic pain
for my whole adult life, but didn't know that that was abnormal.  So
I would have said that my only symptom was infertility, but I guess
there were other symptoms that I had been ignoring.

the only symptom i had was terrible af. had alot of test done didn't see it then, i had laparoscop surgery for an ectopic pregnancy( had been ttc for over 8 yrs.) . dr said it was prob. a big factor in why i hadn't conceived before & because the endometriosis was in my right tube it prob. wouldn't have been found if it wasn't for the surgery. hope this helped. good luck!!
