TTC with endo

[awarner]

My DH and I have been ttc our 1st for over a yr now. I had lap. surgery on Thurs to remove a chocolate cyst and so my RE could remove any possible endo. But my Dr said that my endo was scattered (sprayed was actually the term he used) so he couldn't remove the endo, but he did remove the cyst without harming my ovary. My next step will be clomid. Just wanted opinions re:clomid and endo experiences. Can I still conceive with endo??

Thank u! My dr says only about 2-3 cycles of clomid before moving on to IVF. I just really wish that he'd been able to remove a little of the endo when he removed the chocolate cyst

My first IVF cycle failed as well, but our second, which was a FET was successful.  There definitely is hope!  

I was on clomid on and off for a couple of years.  (Horrible doctors!!)  Good luck with it.  Make sure they don't keep you on it for more than 2 or 3 months in a straight period of time.  I didn't realize this was bad until one of my later doctors told me that.  It never helped me.  BUT it's different for every person.  

BEST wishes!!

I have staged IV endo. I have had 2 laps, and 2 laparatomies.6 months of lupron which induces menapausal like symptoms(I dont recommend), 1 failed IVF cycle, and I am currently 5 wks preggo thru my 2nd IVF attempt. I was told IVF was my only option. My tubes are both blocked. There are many woman on here in our shoes. You just have to not give up hope and contiue fighting your way thru. Best of Luck!!

My RE wants 2 try IVF right away, but we decided to try clomid for 2 cycles. I'm also a little nervous to go on clomid b/c I read online that it can make endo worse

I was able to conceive with endometriosis via IVF.  Now I'm 18 weeks pregnant!  Best of luck!!!
