TTC with Severe Endo

Hi all. Has anyone conceived with severe endometriosis?? I had a laparoscopy done 2 weeks ago to confirm that I have severe endo. It was so bad that didn't remove any (everywhere including my bowels). I have been TTC for a little over three years. He recommended IVF but I'm having a hard time grasping the idea of that working (how could the embryos implant if I have so much scar tissue). Has anyone gotten pregnant with severe endo and if so, what method? I've seen a lot about going on an anti inflammatory diet to help and have began changing my eating. Just want to know what else I can do to conceive. Thank you in advance.

If you call the CEC and tell them you don't have insurance they may be able to help you out. You have to register first. Here is the link.

Yes here is a link for the article I wrote last year for hormones matter. I had migraines from the time I was 14 but started with chronic headaches at 10.

Another question are migraines common with endo? I get horrible migraines at least 4 times a month. I know zofran. Can cause headaches  so wondering if it's from that or endo.

Does your insurance not cover the consultation? If not let me know and I can ask around if that is normal. I don't live in the US, so I will have to ask some people

Thank you all for your responses. I like in Charlotte, NC. I am not sure if I want to have surgery or not and maybe just attempt an IVF. We have a lot to think about... But I definitely don't want to give up.

Yes many women have but the best advice I can give you is to find yourself an Endo specialist and there is only a handful around the world. Let me know where you are at and I can guide you in this direction.

Most OBGYN don't know how to excise let alone remove the endo off the bowel and just leave it there for it to continue to grow. If you want to have a better chance at conceiving this is what you need to do as your first step. Do not settle for anything less than the best or it could be damaging
