Can you still get pregnant with endometriosis???

[poetgirl1979]

I was just wondering, there is a good chance I have endometriosis. I have had fibroids in the past. Me and hubby trying to get pregnant, can I still get pregnant with endometriosis??? Anyone dealt with this??? It is SO hard, right now, my cousin, my sister-in-law and two of my friends are all expecting. I'm so depressed over this. Please help!!! =( Me and hubby been married almost 7 years (next month). I'm 26, so I was only 19 when I got married and didn't want kids at first. Hubby is 28.  We've been trying for a month or so. But it's discouraging knowing so many who are pregnant now, and not being one of them. I want to be happy for them, but I find myself jealous.  Isn't that HORRIBLE???!!!  My periods have been regular since I've been off the pill for a few months.  So what's the deal?? Also, another question, any tips to help fertility???  And when I do know when I'm ovulating exactly???
Thanks!!!

I had my first lap at age 16 and my second this last December.  I was told that if I wanted to have kids we needed to start right away.  My endometrosis might affect my fertility because I am 26 and have had this for such a long time.  I started Clomid in January and did succeed at getting pregnant.  I was so happy that on the first try we got pregnant.  But on valentines day I found out that I had miscarried.  They said a lot of people miscarry and to try again and it probably wouldnt happen again.  At the end of March I found out that I was pregnant again.  I had not taken the Clomid since I had gotten pregnant so fast in January and once you miscarry the next 3 months are the easiest to get pregnant.  2 days before my birthday in April I found I had miscarried again.  This time as soon as I had found out that I was pregnant I was already in the process of the miscarriage.  They ran tests and they think that it is my progesterone.  So I have been taking Clomid at the start of my cycle.  And progesterone the week of when I am suppose to find out if I am pregnant.  I have had no luck.  I am starting to get discouraged.  I cant stop thinking of the miscarriages and I cant stop thinking about getting pregnant again.  I am afraid that if I dont take clomid then my body wont have the progesterone that it needs.  And if I just take progesterone it can cause me not to get pregnant.  Because it tells your body that it is already pregnant.  Is there anyone that is going through anything like this?  I could really use some advice.

Its hard getting pregnant with endo.  Ive been dx; with endo., not fun with the painful cramps etc.,  Plus when you want to get pregnant and its been over 4 years now i still cant get pregnant.  Ive miscarried and tried all the time with my hubby to make another child. Taking my bbt, ovulation calculator, strips etc., medications nothing is working for me either.  Its sad and I know it hurts.  Everyone that I know is getting pregnant.  All you have to do is tell yourself I will be a mommy soon!  By the end of this year nothing happens go do ivf.  Thats what Im going to be doing in europe this christmas.  Hopefully i will be pregnant. I know how everyone feels...its difficult and its painful.. Just believe in yourself and it does take time.  But if you are impatient like me go do IVF.  Hopefully that will make a miracle happen!

  Your story gave me chills!  I am 27 with endo and have been trying since January as well, with have complications every month with something.  I had missed my period last month and had taken a preg test every week and about 3 weeks ago now I had blood work done which also confirmed not being pregnant.  They were to have started me on Clomid 2 weeks ago, but something in me told me to see the Doctor first due to my pain that I had been having.  I thought it was my endo since I was told I wasn't pregnant.  I went in last Monday for an ultra sound and low and behold there was a yolk sack.  The next day after more blood work it was confirmed that I am pregnant.  THANK GOD!  I was told to come back this week for another ultra sound.  Two days after hearring the news the Doc called again saying my progesterone levels were low.  I was deathly scarred and confused, because they told me everything looked good so far.  He said that miscarriages in the past had shown in women with low progesterone levels and they just wanted to add on some precautions, so he put me on Prometrium to help those levels.  Today I went for my second ultra sound and Thanking the Lord again, I got to see the heart beat.  I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer.  Have faith; I'm not out of the woods yet, but every moment that I have I pray for a healthy pregnancy.  I wish you all the luck as well as anyone else out there with this condition.  It's one that no one will every understand unless they have walked down this path, but one that I would never want anyone to walk down. I can't say it enough Have faith; it's in God's hands, as well as a good Doctor's.
