Oh Orca that is so sad - hugs

RachFizz can I ask a bit more about your suspected endometriosis? I am wondering if I have it. No simple way to find out or fix?!

So many different journeys but they are all hard and not fair!

No simple way as far as I am aware! To confirm it and remove it they need to do a laparoscopy. I suspect it because of having strong sporadic AF-like cramps most of my LP, particularly after going to the toilet. It's so random though. Some months I have to take time off work, but there have been a couple of months where I was fine. I think maybe I didn't ovulate those times.

Hope to find out one way or another soon! 

I had to self-refer and pay $$$ for private appts. This doc referred me to public waiting list for lap, but I got a letter saying they would not be offering surgery because I'm not a high enough priority. Then I got another letter offering me an appt at the hospital so not sure why that has come about. Private doc said it would be a waste of time (???) I'd rather go and find out myself.

Didn't think to bother with medical insurance and now I'm kicking myself because it would be considered pre-existing.

It is hard to know what to do sometimes with appointments, info and insurances. I don't have any and do wonder should I get it now just in case?

Good question-intertested in any replies as well. We have been trying for number 2 now for 2 years, seeing the Doc Monday for referal which I have been putting off. Have had a look into the points system and I hope I turn out to be wrong but looks like there is no way we'd get public $-undiagnosed infertility, my age and already have one child. Do they ever fund further investigations (eg Lap) even if not elidgable for treatment? Just suspect endo could be a problem as both my sisters had it and was talking to an aunt who tried for years for a 3rd baby that never arrived and they later found extensive endo.
Big bugs to all on the ttc journey xx

my parents tried 5 years for their first. no physical reason for it as far as medical advances back then were concerned.

waiting sucks.
