Endometrosis...treatment or pregnancy??From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Jul 26 22:12:37 2000
I was recently dignosed and treated for Endometrosis. I had gotten pregnant after quite some time and it turned out to be tubal. The doctor performed a laprooscopy and lasered off all the Endometrosis he could see. The pictures he took before and after showed everything was on just one tube and ovary, and the other side was clean. I have one child and had no problems with conception or delivery for that first attempt at motherhood. My physician has made a recommendation and I am at odds with his choice. All the questions my spouse and I have asked him have been sidestepped or avoided completely. He suggests Lupron shots to suppress the production of hormones that feed this disease, for one year, then I can try to get pregnant again. His reason is that it will create some special window of opportunity for me to conceive. If there is no cure for this, and hormone supression will only leave this in a dormant state, why should it matter when I try to conceive? If he sees nothing on the one side I have left, which was not affected in the pics he showed me, what is the difference in my trying to conceive now or later? Do I not have the same amount of chance at another tubal pregnancy/normal pregnancy whether I try now before the treatment while my test shows no signs outside the tubes or after a year of treatment I dread? I understand treatment is inevitable, but if the chances are relatively equal now, before treatment, or later after treatment, shouldn't I try now? Please advise me as to what I should do. I am having a hard time because of the time involved and the fact that no signs were seen on the tube or ovary I have left. I would appreciate the opinon of anyone with credible knowledge on this subject. Thank you.
