Endo and Infertility
I was wondering if anyone else is trying to conceive will suffering from endo? As I have not had a confirmation on the diagnosis for the problems I am experiencing, from all the information that is out there it would appear that it is endo that I have. I am 37 and trying to have my second child with my new husband. Prior to having my first child (5 yrs)I had problems getting pregnant and was referred to a fertility clinic. Both my blood tests and husband's test were normal, so they did a lap and if I remember correctly, the doctor said I had a small amount of endo, but never explained at that time what the did and could/would mean. After searching the net and not so patiently waiting to see a specialist again, I am feeling so frustrated. Some of it I am sure is the biological clock ticking, some of it is the symptoms of endo, so of it is just me feeling like I am going crazy. I saw the specialist about a month ago, and he prescribed clomid for the infertility. The problem is that, from what they tell me, my hormonal system is not the problem, I am ovulating and don't quite understand why I should be taking this medication, if it may not be necessary. The side effects can be horrible, and the chances of having multiples is increased (and if I understand correctly, so are the chances with increased age). We really want to have a baby, but I really don't want to have more than one at a time if I can prevent it. The doctor said he was going to have me scheduled for a lap in about a month and a half from that appointment, but when the person who schedules the appointment returned from holidays they said that it would be more likely 4 months. This is so frustrating. I am so grateful for this site. Admittedly, I have not read a lot of stuff on here, but was so grateful to find a site that was spiritually based. I am a Christian and definitely need your prayers and some devine intervention. I know that all things are possible with God, and although I feel like my faith at times is truly only the size of a mustard seed, I also know that is all that it takes. If anyone has any feedback on this subject, or anything, it would greatly help. Thank God for the internet and people like you. |

Re: Endo and Infertility
Hi Cheena, Welcome here!  Infertility is a hard one huh. I also took clomid but they could never pinpont the exact cause of infertility for me as every test came out normal, except for high prolactin-a hormonal problem, found out through an endroconologist. They gave me a pill for it, but it still did not work, although I have always had the signs of ovulating. As you are, I was very afraid of multiples at the time, so just did clomid 6 months & I was not interested in going further with the other fertility drug-pergonal I think was the name. I have a friend who was told she would never get pregnant-impossible with her having endo so bad & fibroids. Well she conceived 2 healthy boys at the surprise of the Drs. You can read my story on the website for more info but when I was in the midst of infertility, it was so difficult-babies everywhere, everyone pregnant, such jealousy I had. My worst times for me was when I had to go to a baby shower. That was shear torture. I had become obsessed with it for many years, everyday thinking "am I pregnant" So much time I lost with the pursuit of it(10 painful years) oh my. but in the end I could not have been any happier with the final results!! God is and was so good to me. I never thought it possible that I would adopt 2 children & at the time I had no interest in this, as I just wanted to conceive so badly. I wanted a baby boy so badly to look like my husband. Well I must say that God had a completely different plan for my life than I had planned, as I had it all mapped out I thought. Ha Ha. anyways I am not sure of my point here, but just to let you know I hear you I guess. I hope all goes well with you & will be praying for you that God will lead your life into some wonderful places. Feel free to keep us informed ok. Lori
