How long should I wait to ask for help?
I was a regular on this forum a year or so ago and recevied so much help with infertility questions and concerns. I have endo and 2 surgeries helped me conceive my son in April of 2007. He is now 13 months old.
It took me 3 years, two surgeries (2 laps and one d & c) and one miscarriage to have him. He is wonderful, but I am now longing for another. First, am I being selfish? I feel like I have asked for a miracle and I am returning for another... I just want my son to have siblings. But more important, we have been trying for 4 months... knowing my history, I don't want to wait too long to seek help. I am 33 years old and in good health.
My Dr. is not real sympathetic and I have considered finding another or just going back to the RE that treated me before. I am afraid he will either disregard my concerns if i come back too soon looking for help or tell me I have to wait a year (AGAIN) before he can do anything.
How long do you ladies think I should wait before I seek help? I am very concerned that the endometriosis that caused my first bout with infertility is also causing this round. What's the liklihood that I will have trouble conceiving again?

My first lap was in Dec of 06 and we got pregnant in January.. no drugs no intervention all natural. I lost it, but becuase my RE was fearful it was ectoptic, I had to have a D & C and another lap which removed more endo. That was Feb 20 of 2007. Becuase of the miscarriage, my RE made us wait one full cycle before trying again, which I reluctantly did. In April of 2007 I conceived our son.
I saw you recently had your lap in another post. I don't know your details, but that was exactly what I needed to conceive. We had tried for 3 long years with drugs and IUIs and no apparent infertility red flags... but the lap was what I needed. I hope it's what you need only.
Hang in there.

Hi Lea,
no it is NOT selfish to want another blessing so you must not think that for a second, endo is an awful thing but many woman have it removed and fall pregnant - if I were you and my advice to you is get a new gynie there are some excellent ones and bottom line is you do not have to go to someone who is nasty or not supportive to you - you must do what is best for you and see someone that has your interest at heart ok, I wouldnt wait - I waited years and now I have huge endometriomas inside my ovaries and because of this I may never even have a child so rather go sooner than too late
hope this helps you
hugs coty
