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!!!

Hi, I have stage 4 endo with adenomyosis very severe pain n bleeding, was told my chances of getting pregnant was close to none even with IVF as my egg quality was also low. But after 3/4 years of trying I got pregnant with clomophine. My pregnancy was a breeze however during regnant I was told that my baby was an sua baby nothing to do with endo, I also went into labour when pregnant at 31 weeks but guess what everything is fine inspite of endo, cyst, adenomyosis, preterm baby and sua...me and my baby are healthy and fine. I had a natural delivery with epidural. All I can say is prayer and have faith that it will happen. God has a plan for everyone in his time. Be positive and stop self pity. I had lost all hopes but my husband was very positive. But I stopped worrying and left it all to god I even stopped gaining sympathy from people and always said that I was fine. And things have changed for the best for me. May b my endo will be back after my pregnancy but I don't care as I have my miracle baby with me and now I can even try contraceptives or hysterectomy or anything else but at least I conceived once,... So don't worry all you people it is possible to get pregnant with endo...

Had 2 laproscopy
3 failed iui cycles
And 9/ 10 cycles of clomophine across 4 years
Was on the queue for IVF
Was told to try egg donor for IVF

Faith n prayer can move mountains :)

My wife and i had stumbled upon this thread last year as she had learned she not only has polycystic ovaries but endometreosis as well. Totally bummed from the news that two gynos told her it was almost impossible for natural conception she decided to seek some solace in any inspirational stories of nothing short of what we were made to believe would be an immaculate conception. After going to a herbologist at the recommendation of a friend (options were all but exhausted and we were trying for a year already) we were basically told to change our diets and all would miraculosly get better (rolls eyes, I was against this meeting from the beginning) Cue healthy eating and 3 months later, my wife became pregnant and June 7th of this year my baby boy was born, absolutely perfect. I'm very sure there aren't many men commenting on these issues but i find myself obligated to do so in the hopes that it may inspire even one person to keep positive and have faith in the impossible, remember that he one in the million they speak of may be right around the corner.

Hello everyone. I am only 19 and we found out just yesterday with the start of my period that I have endometriosis. There is no history of it in my family at all, but we do have a very long line of Ovarian Cysts which I also have. For the past four years I have had a rupture on my right side every four months exactly. So I suppose there is a connection there since many say endo is also connected to ovarian cysts. This month my cycle was very strange, for I have been charting for the last 8 months; it's been consistently getting more off track. Since October I have been taking progesterone pills prescribed by my doctor; you take 1 every night for 10 days, three days after ovulation. This was the fourth month where I was supposed to have another cyst rupture and thanks to the progesterone I didn't. However I think through the elimination of previous problems, the underlying issue was finally able to emerge; endometriosis. I am scheduled hopefully for a surgery in the beginning of March to fix this.
I am not married, I am in college with a full ride scholarship to be a nurse, but my BF and I are very decided in what we want to do with our lives and in the future how we want to be together. We would want nothing more than to raise a family, and very shortly after marriage. IVF is against our faith so we wouldn't be able to do it, but I am not opposed to adoption at all. Even if I have children I would want to adopt. The only issue is... Is there any hope? I've been told since I am still young at 19 the tissues and all will have better chance to heal, but I am just so unsure, and it hurts SO bad. Is it even worth it? Thanks so much all.

I was pregnant in '99. I carried to 11 weeks. I was not able to get pregnant again until 2009. I carried until 14 weeks. I was diagnosed with Endo. No pain, no symptoms. But for the longest time I felt something in my lower pelvis area. Now it's gone. Doctors before 2009 never could find it! Stupid Doctors. Now, it is 2012. I have NOT been pregnant at all. It's hopeless. I have totally given up. It is just not going to happen. We tried following my cycle etc, but we know it will never happen. -Lisa

Thank you.  I so needed to hear this.

Hi All,
I am also TTC and have been for the past month or so. I'm 2weeks Late for my period. I have had 5 HPT that have all been negative, I've also had a blood test which was also negative to being pregnant. I also suffer from  endometriosis. I'm slightly confused as to what is going on as this is all very new for me, if I don't get my period by the weekend I will be going back to the doctors for a ultrasound to see if a cyst could be the reason for late period. I would like to think I'm pregnant but trying not to allow myself to get my hopes up. I have a few symptoms such as

- late period
- feeling bloated & short of breath at times
- Increase in my appetite
- constantly fatigued
- frequent urination
- build of clear/yellow mucus
- abdominal discomfort
- cramping
- increase in pimples


Has anyone experienced anything such as this?

Hi to all...

Here is my story. I just finished matric in 2001 and got married in 2002. The doctor said to me that I had foreign cells in my uteres. She also told me to start as soon as possible.... or at least try..... so me and my x hubby tried like really tried..... we even praid to the Lord on the 15 October 2004 with a group of friends.... so we went to the doctor about 4 weeks later and my gyno said to me I was 4 weeks pregnant..... I was extatic..... My son was born in June 2005..... In February I found out I was pregnant again and something went wrong...... 6 years now I'm still battling to get pregnant...... I stopped taking birthcontrol about two years back..... I have to go do the laparoscopi but we cant afford it..... any other advice in that situation?

[MommaBear24]

I also have endometriosis and am having surgery in about a month. I am wondering if anyone out there has been able to have a baby AFTER being diagnosed with Endometriosis. I also would like to know if there if you were able to have a children before. I have a daughter, 5 years old but now I am afraid she will be an only child. Anyway I am just trying to see how many were able to.  Thank you so much

So me and my fiance had been ttc for about a yr and nothing. well a yr and a half later I was in the er cuz the right side of my belly hurt. well they sent me home cuz of course it was a cyst. then 2 days later the Dr called me and said by the way we forgot to give u a result. I was like ok what. he said ur pregnant with lvls of 2600 I was like no way. well he was concerned cuz of my pain so I had to go back to er. they did an ultra sound and told me they couldn't find the baby. I was like well maybe I'm not as far along as u guys r thinking. Well the Dr did my labs again and my lvls only went up 1000 when they r suppose to double each day. he said ur for sure having an abnormal pregnacy. sent me home said come back if u camp more or start to spot. the next day I started spotting. so back to er. the Dr came in and said I'm so sorry AMANDA ur having a tubalpregnancie. I was so hurt so angry so confused. Well that was Nov 27th I found out on Dec 2nd they gave me methatrexate which decalcifies the baby. I finally lost the baby January of this yr. I'm not giving up hope cuz my grandma's last words to me before she passed away Dec 23 was Amanda I too I two tubalpregnancies. u will have a healthy baby. just keep trying. so just keep trying and u to will have ur someday baby as I have been told many times.

So my ex and I were together 3 years and had unprotected sex almost every day. Grant it I was on birthcontrol for about a year and got off. Never once got pregnant or anything. My new boyfriend and I are doing great and he has a beautiful 3 year old now. we've been together for a while now and same has had unprotectded sex and nothing! I had 3 periods this month and the last one was very painful so I went to the ER. They told me they are almost sure its endometriosis. I have to go back to the doctors then go through that surgery. When I found that out I was so depressed cried all day long because it made sence. Ever since I first started my period They've always been bad. My ovaries always hurt and my back hurt so bad I couldn't get out of bed. My one biggest fear is that I can't have children. I've worked with children for so long. They just brighten up my day. I know I'll be a good mom and I think I deserve a chance. It is verp upseting. This really isn't a question just wanted to let poetgirl my story. I wish you the best of luck sweet heart I really do!
