Hi I have just found out i am likely to have endo. I am waiting for Christmas to pass and then will go through all the usual. I wanted some feedback from anyone who has this about your fertility. My fiance and me are thinking of a family sooner rather than later but are now concerned about my fertility. I would be grateful for any kind of advice/feedback etcThank youCD

I have endo and had my last lap in October last year. Afterwards my doctor told me I wouldn't be able to conceive, but exactly a month afterwards, I got pregnant. A woman I met at my 35 week appointment had the same thing happen to her, so we figured that since a lap basically "cleans" you up, it must sure help! So don't stress, endo doesn't mean instant infertility! *hugs*

You should get a laprascopy (outpatient surgery) to clean out any endo and then try to get pregnant. I read something last night that after the surgery a woman has 12 to 18 months to conceive. (best chances)I have endo, but have never tried to get pregnant (I am single).

Yeah, definitely get a lap and if you are ready to start a family get going ASAP. I had my lap in June but will be waiting a year and in the meantime on meds to keep the Endo at bay till next summer when we will start trying. Good luck CookieD!
