I had a surgery to remove fibroids on 2008 and after the surgery the Dr. Told me I moderate to severe endometriosis. I TTC naturally ever since w/o success. Last year my new OB did a hysterosalpingogram and determined that my tubes were blocked by endometrial scarring, she wanted to startme on Lupron and do surgery to check/ unblock my tubes. Instead, I consulted with a RE who recommended to start IVF. My hormonal levels were good, my DH was perfect, the ultrsaounds showed small fibroids but nothing to worry about. She also did a histeroscopy and my uterus looked perfect, no endometriosis or fibroids so we decided to go ahead with IVF. I had my ET on 12/19 and my firts Beta on 1/3. I'm pregnant and happy. Don't worry, it is possible to have. Successful IVF with endometriosis.
I know hopeitworks had endo, and she is due in about a month... Maybe you could look her up and connect with her?? Good luck my friend!!
I had lost my left tube to an ectopic in early October and the doctor showed me the pictures he took during the surgery which showed there was endo in the tube. I asked him if this would affect my chances with IVF and he said that just because it was in the tube it didn't mean it was definitely in the uterus and even if it was in the uterus it shouldn't affect the IVF. I asked my RE the same questions and got the same answer. The doctor who did the surgery said that my endo wasn't that bad, but the RE never even saw the pictures so he didn't even know how bad the endo was and he still dismissed it as not a problem.
Good luck at your consult. I hope that you get approved for the IVF.
