I'd say your risk for pregnancy is low then. There are natural methods to preventing pregnancy. I used natural family planning, the sympto-thermal method for years. So that along with endo prevented any unplanned pregnancies.
About your wife's pain. I forgot about the pain after surgery due to the gas they use for the laparoscopic procedure. The gas stays in your system for a while. Painful. I had to sleep sitting up for a while. Hope your wife recovers quickly.
We know that Carbs feed the endometriosis as well as a lot of other diseases such as diabetes and even cancer...sad world we live in that the Gov allows the FDA to approve such drugs and food knowing that it kills us...BUT, that is how they make all there money with the pharmaceutical companies.....uggh , I got myself stated LOL EVIL greedy bastards,,,
We are not trying to get pregnant, just a curious question. She is 40 and I am 48 and really do not want anymore kids, we have 6 but have never used protection. Our youngest is 16
Hi again,
A fertility specialist can answer that. I had my D&C years before I knew I had endometriosis. I did have my daughter after having the D&C but since the endo diagnosis I have not conceived. I tried IVF and that did not work. But my case was severe. It depends on your wife's individual case. Also, after they remove the adhesions I had about 6 months before the endo would get bad again. Once your wife heals that might be your best chance.
Before doing anything I'd recommend seeing a fertility nutritionist. Mine believes diet has a lot to do with the illness. I have dramatically changed my diet. I hope to try to conceive again but I am taking a break right now. I have other health issues. I want to be in my best shape before I try again.
Good luck to you and your wife. In the Chicago area we have the Fertility Centers of Illinois and they are excellent.
