I'm 26 years old and newly married. I found out I had endometriosis in 2007 after being involved in a car accident. After being in pain for about 2 months without any relief I had my first of 6 surgeries. I have tried everything from 2 1/2 rounds of Lupron (the worst), an IUD, pain management and birth control skipping placebo pills. Since marrying my great husband in June I have been off of all my meds taking pain pills only as needed. Having sex is the worst pain ever, but I would love nothing more than to have a baby, after reading all these stories I have a new sense of hope. And will be making an appointment with my doctor this week to discuss the matter more. Thanks Ladies and may God bless each and everyone of us!

I didn't have trouble conceiving my first son, but he was premature 6/2010 at 32 1/2 wks. After he was born i didn't have a period til he was 7 mos, i think because i nursed him exclusively. After that though, it was horrible. My doc did not want to do anything about my symptoms, saying that my hormones just hadn't returned to normal. I kept going back because things got worse and finally he told me that i needed antidepressents, i stopped going to him after that. I went for a second opinion, and i found out that i had a cyst that my 1st doc hadn't even told me about, and who had just given me a depo shot to stop the bleeding. Anyway, i travelled and went to Doc. V. Sabella in san Antonio after i started bleeding and all the symptoms came back. Now after the laparascopic surgery, he said the best chances to conceive were now because everything is cleared out. He prescribed metformin to combat the pcos to try to give us a better chance at a second little treasure. After reading this i have a little more hope that it will happen, although we'll have to be prepared to have another early bird baby. May God bless the wombs of all of us who want to have children!

I'd had a painful period for about a year by that time. I'd had an IUD put in in 2009 and I thought I was experiencing pain from it. I'd never considered endo. While on my college graduation vacation with my grandma in Hawaii, I was told that I had a huge tumor attached to my left ovary. The doctor there thought it could have been cancer. I'm lucky it wasn't cancer but endometriosis is just the lesser of two evils in my opinion. I had surgery July 12, 2010. My doctor pulled out an endometrioma the size of a cantaloupe along with my deformed left ovary. We didn't know I had endometriosis until after my surgery which also left a 12 inch scare along the top of my bikini line. It was devastating news, however a relief it wasn't cancer. I was put on the Lupron shot right after my surgery. It was awful. I still spotted and was in excruciating pain often. On top of that, I was on estrogen to dodge the menopause symptoms. The shot only lasts for 3 months and it turned out to be very expensive even with insurance so I decided not to get it again. Instead, I started taking Seasonique and skipping the placebo pill so that I never menstruate. It took 2 3-month packs of Seasonique for my body to finally react well. It seemed like I had a period every single day for the first 6 months. I'm on my 3rd pack now though and I never bleed and am rarely in pain. My fiance and I are getting married September 10th of this year. Since my biological clock was pushed ahead because of endometriosis, we've decided to try to conceive immediately following our honeymoon. Being on Seasonique has me worried about how and when to go off of it in order to begin ovulating properly. I don't want to go off of it before the honeymoon or I'll be miserable on our vacation because I'm sure once I go off it, the flood gates will open up and the pain will come rushing back. I want to conceive in October so I can have a June baby because I'm a high school teacher and would like to deliver over summer break. I'm taking a pre-natal vitamin, trying to eat healthy, workout, no alcohol and get lots of sleep. I hope that's enough. Your success stories are very inspiring! Thank you for sharing! I will post again if I am able to conceive! Hope this helps anyone who needs it! Hi Ladies-

I was diagnosed in 2007 with endo and underwent a lapo. However, because I was not ready to conceive another child immediately after surgery, my doctor recommended Lupon and said that it would buy some time to conceive a second child. I think that it may have been more of a hinder for future pregnancies, than a help. We have been trying for over a year now, and no luck. I am afraid to take fertility meds because of the risk of multiple births. Anyone else out that who has successfully conceived after taking the Lupron injection?

I was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I'm not ready to have children yet, but ever since I was diagnosed whether or not I'll ever be able to is all I've been able to think about. It's such a relief to read stories of women who DID get pregnant with endometriosis, rather that reading how hard it can be. Katie: thank you so much for your comment!

I'm fixin to turn 25 in 6 days & reading the posts that everyone has put on here has helped me to realize that even if Endo is the cause that i should still have hope of being able to have children. Having my own children & going through the whole experience is very important to me & i thank all of you for being so open with this subject.

In his timing it will happen,IF I'm not right now:) but for you out there hold on and have faith! It can happen! It's been a long journey for us,and like I say,still have pain!
