Maybe that's just how it is for all of us who suffer with this disease. I'm 28. Married to my DH for 6 1/2 years now and have been TTC for the last 2 years. I actually did not realize I had Endo until I sought help from a RE. I had had two early miscarriages during the year that we tried to conceive on our own. OB/GYN tested me for clotting problems and blamed my miscarriages on MTHFR(can cause clotting among other things). After 16 months with my OB/GYN, she sent me to see a RE in Feb of 08. He was the first person to say anything about the possibility of me having endo...this was news to me. He said sometimes the only symptom is infertility. We tried clomid in March-no luck, in April we didn't try anything due to residual clomid cysts, and in May we tried a higher dose of clomid-no luck. June he said I probably needed a lap to get rid of my endo. July 18th was my surgery and it was then that I was officially diagnosed with stage IV endometriosis. I had two large endometriomas. One on each of my overies and a few spots of endo and scar tissue in various other places. I apparently lost a lot of ovarian tissue when he removed each of the "omas". Post-op I was placed on 3 months of Lupron shots. I had my first in August and my last one on October 10th. Those shots were pure HELL. I am glad that is over. I am STILL waiting to get my cycle back (9 weeks and counting). My RE said that we would try one round of injectables, but he thinks IVF maybe my only hope. Good thing my insurance covers fertility. I appreciate reading your blog. I would never wish this experience on my worst enemy, but knowing I'n not alone in this gives me hope. I will be praying for you in your journey with endometrisis.Jill Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440188517543255002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-25516891520695035222008-12-08T19:01:00.000-05:002008-12-08T19:01:00.000-05:00i hope you get to see your re soon! i'm seeing min...i hope you get to see your re soon! i'm seeing mine tomorrow which is good since i have a few questions about some NEW pain i've had since surgery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110297268863756645.post-80768656855027237202008-12-07T23:24:00.000-05:002008-12-07T23:24:00.000-05:00Oh man, I'm so so sorry to hear this!
