Hey gals,
I had my lap yesterday. It went GREAT! The surgery really was a breeze for me, and I didn't get sick afterwards!
The RE found out why we're not getting preggo- I have endometriosis- I think at stage 3. My RE had another surgery after mine and he didn't tell my DH or Mom what stage. The nurse/doctor I saw right after I woke up- still kinda groggy told me that. I am going to see my RE Tuesday.
Here's the worst part- the tube they thought was blocked from my HSG is... it seems to be full of endo that he couldn't get all out. He vaporized the other stuff. He also took a cyst off my tube, and a possible polyp. The good news- my other tube is clear right now.
The RE mentioned to my DH that he would like me to go into temporary menopause for 3 months to try to dissolve the endo from my tube and prevent it from coming back as soon. I have been looking this process up and it is freaking me out! I am thinking I would have to do this through a GnRH such as Lupron. Then I have been reading your posts, and everyone seems to be saying how awful it is/was. I know that my body is VERY sensitive to drugs, depressions runs in my family, I get moody and tired form BC pills and Clomid.
So....... I need some opinions, advice, experiences, suggestions etc. for when I go see my RE Tuesday. I want to go in to him knowing what he's talking about and I really need to know if any of you have had similar results and are there other options.
My RE doesn't perform IVF- the nurse/doctor (not sure what she was) that I mentioned before, told me she had severe endo, and both her tubes were blocked and she just had a baby girl through IVF- she gave me her doctor's name. I'm not sure if DH and I want to go that route. I think there's a chance of getting preggo with one tube, but what if that one fills up with endo too? HELP!! Like I said, any stories, advice you have is MUCH APPRECIATED!
Take care, and thanks for all of your support!

aim going through the same thing 2....the hot flashes and the mood seings are a killer. i have blown up at so many people its just outrageous. Just a few not my re says that 75% of his patients do well with the lupron after the 3 months of injections. i 2 had endo but mine was a small section in my uterus, i had pholps in my tubes....one of my tubes are real healty and the other is a little damage if push comes to shove we will remove the damage one and he says chances are great with one tube........iam on my way for my second injection wish me luck........trenell
