Hi there im 25 and just had a cyst removed 3 weeks ago via the c-section type incision.I also had a miscarrige in november and want to know if anyone knows how soon after a laperotomy can you try to concive again?.Im so depressed as everything happened at once and now im left with one and a half ovaries...I really want to try and get pregnant as I want a hysterectomy to attempt to avoid any more complications with my endo and so I can try and live a life pain free. hope some one can help

Hello, I can tell you that after my laparatomy I had to wait 3 months, but that was because they also gave me a shot of Lupron that would throw me into menapause.  The main reason my doctor did that was to give me time to heal, she said if I got pregnant immediately after, then it would probably end in a miscarriage!  It's now 9 months after my surgery and still no baby, my doctor now wants to send me to a specialist to make sure I don't have any endo or anythig else in my tubes.  Have you checked your progesterone to make sure you're ovulating?  They just did that with me!  Don't give up hope, I know it's hard, but it'll happen!  Let us know what happens!

Thanks for your help and kind words.Ive just got alot going against me at the moment and ive had it with endo it plagues my life as im sure it does with anyone else who suffers it.I tried everything from acupuncture to chinese medicine and hormone tablets and pain killers.

The specialist wants to put me on injections that bring on a artificial menopause and im dragging my heels I went down that route before and ended up ill.I cant belive my bad luck lol went to uni to make a future for myself and ended up being diagnosed with endo and a genetic eye disease all at the same time.anyway thanks again I will pick myself back up off the floor again as always,just nice to know that there are others going through the same things that understand x

Hi..
I had endo up until about 9/10 years ago, I had 3 laperoscopys, and  hoped to get pregnant. I finally had laser treatment to get rid of endo, and was told by my doc to try and get pregnant asap as the endo would almost definitely come back. I did fall pregnant within about 4 months. Now I have a beautiful 8 nearly 9 year old daughter and no endo. As pregnancy can eliminate endo. But I am sure you have been already told that.

Dont be down hun, give yourself a little time to recover and then try again.. It may not happen immediately but be patient and have fun trying! I am 47 now and trying for another babe. The endo hasnt reared its ugly old head since i conceived my daughter so there really is hope out there.
very best of luck hun. :)
