First Time Poster here with a lot of issues! I have a lemon-sized focused adenomyoma at the top of my uterus. My pelvic pain specialist advised me not to go for surgery because of the possibility that my uterus would scar closed, compromising fertility. My RE doesn't seem to be all that...

Hi, I am 28 years old and I was having endometriasis. It has been treated by surgery and now I am on Zoladex for last 1 month and my problem is it does not stop my periods. I experienced normal periods for last month though I have been given a dose of Zoladex 3.6mg. Even I am not feeling any of...

Hi, I was having a chat with my obgyn yesterday and she hinted that low levels of Vitamin D may be a cause for Infertility, though she does not know about any actual research suggesting that. Vitamin D can aid fertility - Telegraph I also saw links on youtube related to infertility and Vit...

HI everyone, I'm so frustrated and I figured I'd vent here. Please forgive me. I'm just so tired of hearing, this month will work. DH and I have been ttc for 17 months now and have been seeing an RE for 5 months. I had laparoscopy to remove stage II endo back in Nov. Everything looked great and...

Hi, I'm looking into having my third Endo surgery and am trying to find the BEST doctor I can to do it. I was diagnosed in 2005 but definitely had Endo for many years before that. I have had two laparoscopic surgeries with cauterization, which both helped for about a year each. Right now I...

I’m scheduled for a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on Friday March 9, which will probably be CD1. My RE said I have to wait until my next cycle to do the next IUI. When I asked him why, he didn’t have a very clear answer. Do any of you ladies know? Would there be any harm in us trying on our own...

Hello. I just received my amh results of .052. I had a lap in 2009 and found I had stage 4 endo. I have done IVF in the past and have been a low responder. My RE thinks the endo affected my ovarian reserve. Anyone else have this experience with low amh due to endo? More importantly, has...

Can mild endo come after it's been removed? Back in 2010 I had endo removed then later got pregnant. Our doctor said it will not come back but I've read it can. I sure hope the doctor is correct as don't want too have it back again as we're fixing to start treatments again to get pregnant.

Some Background Info: I have not been on this site since I was diagnosed with mild endometriosis in July 2010. My RE told me IVF is the best way to conceive in my situation but my insurance didn't cover it. To make matters worse my job switched insurance providers in the beginning of this year....

Hi There, I was diagnosed with Endo about 2 years ago after DH and I were unsuccessful at TTC. I went for my 2nd lap late last year and they discovered that the endo went into my bowel and that I would most likely be unable to concieve on our own due to the severity of it. I am going for...

We have been trying to have a baby for almost 2 years now. I have a very comprehensible husband, still I can´t help but feel like a failure. The worst is that seems that everybody around us is getting pregnant. I had an HSG in the beginning of the year that showed both of my fallopian tubes...

I have been looking at books that talk about ovarian cyst/PCOS/Endometriosis. Seems like a book called Ovarian cyst miracle by Carol Foster was highly recommended on her site (Google ovariancystmiracle). However, since I couldn't find it on Amazon, I was wondering if it was all a scam (I usually...
