Hi,
Just wanna connect with anyone who has endometriosis and ended up getting pregnant. Unfortunately, I had a laparoscopy which turned really bad & I ended up with secondary peritonitis (really bad infection) and its now playing havoc with my gall bladder etc, however recent gastroscopy has come back normal. I have been advised to wait 6 mths before starting IVF because of problems I've had. Has anyone out got pregnant after medical probs? |

Hi, sorry to hear about what you've been through! I had endo which I got removed during a laparoscopy in 2008 where I also had an enlarged left pelvic vein which was really painful (around August) and I got pregnant in Feb 2009 after being off the pill for around about 5 or so months...so all the best for your TTC journey! I hope it all works out for you  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi louloubell, sorry to hear about your bad lap experience and hope you are feeling ok after the infection.
I'm not much help I'm afraid, but didn't want to read and run. I had a lap in Oct 08 as I presented with all the clinical signs of Endo. Un/fortunately they didn't find any endo on my lap but I have some structural abnormalities (in short, my whole pelvic cavity is deeply folded and covered in lots of large blood vessels instead of being a smooth flat sheet). They recommended I have a Mirena IUD fitted and I had that in for just over a year. Since then, I haven't had anywhere near as much pain or lots of the other symptoms so it must have cleaned me out or something! DH and I have been TTC #1 for 6 months so far and no joy. I also have poor ovulation and a short luteal phase so Dr is recommending we go to Fertility Specialists. Probably not the good news story you were wanting but thought I would share my experience with you. Best of luck to you and hope your TTC journey is a short one. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Louloubell, I have endo and am currently TTCing. I'd recommend posting this question on the pregnancy or first baby part of the forum as most women here aren't pregnant yet!
