FERTILITY / INFERTILITY / IVF COMMUNITY
Looks like I'll be joining you ladies again sooner than I thought!

Looks like I'll be joining you ladies again sooner than I thought!

I was hoping to postpone my lap until I lost some weight and got my PCOS under control naturally, but my endo is out of control and so is the pain, so my lap is scheduled for Halloween.  I haven't really been able to exercise with three cyst ruptures and a ton of endo pain, so I guess I just have to come to terms with being a fat mama!  I asked my doctor if I went on the pill after the lap how long it would hold off the endo and how long we could wait to TTC again (I was hoping for something like 3-6 mo) and he said due to how quickly and severely it came back, he recommended only going on for one month and then doing a fertility treatment cycle.

Part of me still wants to wait (I've been ENJOYING this time off!! Despite all the pain, it's been nice!), but the other part of me does not want to waste the benefits that the lap will have on my fertility.  The only time I got pregnant was my first try after my last lap.  And in that case we waited a month as well (for different reasons - I had a hematoma), and did an IUI the next cycle and I was preggers for all of three days!  So sometimes I guess you just gotta roll with the punches.  I figure I'll go a couple of rounds and if they don't work, I'll do the same thing and stop and try to lose some weight, but I've gotta at least give it a shot I think.
