Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
I want to increase my chances of getting preggers. I ovulate every month (according to BBT chart), But I still want to get on Clomid. I get very large endometriomas (cysts) and am afraid that Clomid may make things worse cuz I've read that a side effect is cysts. I have been through 2 surgeries and lupron and I'm trying everything natural, short or selling my soul to get pregnant. My RE says IVF is the ony way for me. But he hasn't discussed any other options, Clomid, IUI, voodoo. I just want to beg him for Clomid. Should I? Help, need more info. Has anyone had a bad reaction with more endomitriomas due to Clomid??

The doctors thought that I was ovulating on my own as well but when they put me on Clomid and monitored me every day with ultrasound they saw that the follicles would grow and my hormones were doing everything they were supposed to but the egg would never release and it would turn into a cyst. They call it LUF(luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome) which is more common in women with endo because of endometriomas hardening the ouside of the ovary. the doctor removed 2 during surgery so we are hopefull that will help the clomid do its job. But I know first hand that it can cause more cysts to grow, but thats a chance we have to take in hopes of becoming preggers! Good luck!

i;ve been on clomid for four months, it does make me cramp a little more and my hormones are even more out of control. So far it hasnt helped me get preggo so im going to stop taking it until i have an HSG an know that my tubes are open. If you want it just ask your doc, they shouldnt turn you down.
