I am in the same boat. TTC #1 for a year.
Just had a laparotomy (c-section) for endomitromas 2 months ago. Thought this month was going to be THE month but AF came today. MF. I've heard of so many women getting preggers right after surgery I hoped I'd be one. I don't know much about ovarian tissue damage and failure. Scary.

I had my laparoscopy on May 8th of this year and its been 2 months now and nothing! It's frustrating too .. Dr said he was almost positive we could do it on our own and within 3 months after the surgery. So now its 1 or 2 more tests for me then on to injectable and I am just not looking forward to all the needles! But I will do what I gotta do to have that precious bundle!

I had a laparoscopy in September of 2005 and was also told one of my tubes was completely blocked so I only had one good one. Well I got pregnant by November. My doctor also had me taking Glucophage. It's mainly prescribed for diabetics. I don't remember exactly what he said it does, but it affects our hormones in a certain way.

I had surgery a year ago and I'm still waiting as well....sigh.

I got pregnant after my lap surg. I only have one tube that works, and now I'll be having my third baby any day now. We have them back-to-back so the endo doesn't have much time to grow. Keep your head up and your thoughts positive! You don't want to be your biggest enemy with stress.

I had 6 surgeries in 2 years and 2 children after the surgeries. Don't give up. I was diagnosed with endo in 1990 and didn't have my 3rd child until 2002 and then I had a son in 2004 so if your trying to get pregnant don't give up it might just take alittle time.

Trust me, I know how frustrating it is to have endo and not be able to get pregnant. Endometriomas are the worst--dang! they are painful little suckers. I never used any methods to prevent pregnancy because bc pills make me sick. However, I used lupron injections for six months and ended up pregnant about 3 months after the treatment. I had a miscarriage(not b/c of endo) so I was still without a child. 17 months ago my hubby and I started IVF (I even had a cyst removed from my ovary during the cycle!) and now I am prego with triplets!! Keep trying and realize there are plenty of fertility methods out there.

I got pregnant after 1.5 years of trying to conceive, with my son. I didn't know I had endo then. When we started trying for #2 and it wasn't happening (not to mention the horrible period pain not just during my period!) I had a lap done and they discovered severe endo and lasered it. I went on drug therapy for 3 months and then started ttc again. We did an IVF which failed and I got pg naturally (a surprise) the month after the failed IVF. I felt very hopeless and helpless and I know what you are going through. Just remember that endo happens to FERTILE women and most go on to have at least one child. Good luck!

You should take a look at the "infertility" discussion group on here. I've found it very, very helpful. The women are so supportive and very knowledgeable and welcoming.

I had lap surgery and the doctor thought I would be able to get pregnant after that so he gave me 3 months and then another 3 months and nothing so he started me on lupron. I only have six more months on it and then hopefully I will be able to get pregnant.

I am due to have a Laparscopy on Thursday, and getting scared of the outcome. I feel so down and all my friends are getting pregant round me and feel very down. My husband is supportive but doenst quite understand

Make sure your Dr. cleans out your tubes and does not just go in an look. My Dr. used some kind of chemical and we were pregnant in a week.

My doctor is afraid to do the surery because i want to have a child... Is this a good thing. I mean if it can cause this many problems is it good to wait or should i get a second opinion? You do have damage both ways right?

Hi Heather,
I've been ttc for 2 months, which isn't very long, but I've been having really strange cycles. I'm on Progesterone cream and I am charting my cyles for my best possible time to conceive. I take my basal body temperatute at the same every morning. I use the site www.fertilityfriend.com It has blogs and support groups and one for girls with endo. I was on Lupron for 4 yrs, and have only had 2 cycles, so it is a struggle. try and keep your head up girl :)
