I'll know Monday what today's results were, but as of right now, my progesterone is 15.5 and my HcG is 1418. Hopefully that doubles just right...

Hi
Is this thread still going if anyone reading come back to me. I am having my endo removed and could do with some knowledge please xx

Hi,

How's things going? I was going to post my own story on this thread, hoping that people are still using it but I saw yours and I hope you're doing ok. It's a bit of a pain in neck having endo removed. When are you having it done? Is it being lasered via lap?

Let me know, I've had it done twice and I'm happy to talk about it with you if you want to .

Best of luck, take it easy and try not to worry too much!

Hi,

Thanks for the message. So, to the questions... (all welcome of course - Im happy to answer any that you want to fire my way although I'm sure there are people who know more about it than i do!)

Some little about me... I had my endo diagnosed when I was 21/22 although I've never had an easy time with periods and I therefore found out why! erm... I've been TTC since December 09 so not really that long - I think it's only when you're actively trying that time seems to drag!

Erm... not sure how much you know about it and I don't want to come across all teachery so ignore this if you're already up with it all!

Endo is normal endometrium that is for one reason or another outside where is should be and when it is affected by the normal hormones to do with periods it bleeds into your body cavity. The problem occurs because a. this hurts! and b. the blood in your body cavity then sits on the internal bits of you and causes adhesions which basically stick your insides together. Yuk!

Anyway, in my case it was the adhesions that were causing me the problems and had affected my bowel and one of my phallopian tubes and the lasering was used to separate me out again and burn off the endo pieces that were causing the problem in the first place.

Yes, it does come back but not in everyone and sometimes it goes away after pregnancy! But there are some people who say this is rubbish so I don't know. I guess the most important thing is that everyone is different!

erm... As for the lasering thing. You will be out of it so nothing to worry about until you wake up and even then you'll be fine. I found I was uncomfortable not through what they had done but the gas they use to fill you with when they are working. Get yourself some peppermint tea or peppermint capsules from the chemist as they really help!

Last time I had it done I was off work for a week although I was ok after a couple of days and used the rest of the time for some general pampering and feeling better time!

Having endo removed does help because at least it's not going to be causing any more adhesions and therefore should raise your chances by not affecting your bits!

Anyway, sorry for the essay but I hope it helps a bit. If you want to talk about anything, just message me and I'll try and help.

hi ladies, can i join....I am about to have a lap done to possibly diagnose my endo. I have a small fibroid within my uterus that my old ob was saying was causing all the pain. Well, my ob has said that she thinks it is endo which is also why i am not getting pg. She says while the fibroid will cause some problems with a pregnancy is shouldnt compeletely prevent me from getting prego...so here I am...scared as hell..nice to have some support. I started reading the beginning of this thread and it looks liek most of the women that were on it have gotten prego so that makes me feel good about getting down to business.

Hi

The thread does seam to have died of, I only joined it to recently, but I think the reason is because like you say most have got pregnant!!

I am in on the 7th June for my removal of endo, following discovery after reversal, only one tube was able to be saved, but one is better than none.

When are you in? I know what you mean about scared, but try and think of it as a step in the right direction and something to be excited about. I have just started a journal and that has given me loads of support from some really good ladies, who have had simlar opps, might be worth it for you as well.

Wishing you lots of luck
love Zoe

thanks Zoe - well I am just being reffered for possible endo...they arent sure but I have been trying for 11 months now and nothing....i am oving on my own and I have one small fibroid in my uterus, which my dr seems to think might cause a mc but not me NOT getting pg at all. So he wants me to have a lap done to check it out. I have to go over to the states to have it done b/c no one here does lap. So I am waiting for my dr in the states to call back with an appt to see me first and then schedule the lap....this is all really new to me and I dont even know if I have endo, but it does make me feel better to see that mostly everyone on this thread has gotten pg. G/L on june 7th....and please let me know how you aer doing...>I will check out your journal also.

btw, do you know when in your cycle you have to have the lap done? should you not ttc that month?

your link only takes me to the main page of ttc journals....what is your journal called?
