HI
Thanks for all your replies.
My husband and I tried for a year and a half with our first. We did IUI's and ended up on IVF which worked. Note I had been off the pill for 2 years before we tried seriously for that year and a half and we had not used any protection.
Now we are trying for our second and have been trying for 3 cycles so far. I am just feeling like all the frustration from the first time has come straight back. It is because I know I have active endo so I keep thinking...what is going to be different this time.
Well we have signed up for IVF again for next cycle but sometimes I feel like I have given up too soon. I just need someone that would understand why I just can't face a long haul of trying with no luck. It is so hard and I don't want to waste time.
Can you relate???
note I live in Australia and the price for IVF is around $5500 and we get some back from our insurance and healthfund aswell so ends up being $3000 or so.
I found out I had endometriosis when i was 17 and the doctor said it would be extreamly hard to get pregnant. I am 23 I just stopped taking birth control in the end of Jan. and I just found out I am 6 weeks Pregnant....So I didnt need any other help obviously. So it is possible.
My sister has very bad endo. She has suffered from the time she was 14 yrs old. She has had alot of surg. too. She was told she would never have children. She now has a 3yrs old little girl. So I know it can happen!! Good Luck!!
I've suffered with endo for the last 7 years. it took us 17 months to conceive our first and figured it would take just as long with this baby but it happened the first month. I was told by my doc when we were trying for our first that I may not be able to get pregnant. Well, it happened and it's definitely possible. How long have you been trying for?
