Endometriosis

Posted by: kozwick1 on Tue Jan 19, 2010
Been TTC for over 3 years now, and have been seeing the RE for over 1 year. In July 2008, I had laparoscopy, where they found traces of endometriosis... otherwise everything looked fine. My cycle is regular, DH is fine, and all other tests have been completely normal. 2 years, and 5 IUIs later (along with acupuncture, and several months of herbal treatment), I was finally given a sonohysterogram which detected polyps on my ovaries. No telling how long these have been there, however I have been having symptoms for 6 months (heavy / long / painful periods, bleeding between cycles - which I informed the RE of...). Although I'm happy this was discovered, it is incredibly frustrating that this test was not performed MUCH sooner despite requests for additional testing. Had laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, polypectomy and D/C done just under a week ago, which discovered endo on bladder, uterus and polyps. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the answer to our years of waiting... The test was done on CD9 - may start TTC this month depening on how I feel (even though we know it's early). Afraid to wait too long - if endo grew back that quickly, we don't want to risk losing our window of opportunity with IVF if needed.
