Hello! I stumbled onto this website while doing some research on endo. I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I'll try to make my story as short as possible :-) I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis in April, 2004 (3 months before I was married). I had one laperotomy by my regular gyno in May and he immediately stitched me back up because he had never seen anything so horrible and needed to refer me to a specialist. I saw a great doc at the Cleveland Clinic who was able to remove 90% of the bad stuff. Since then I have had bad cramps (which we all have learned to live with by now!) the first few days of my period and during ovulation, but no reoccuring symptoms for the last 3 years. ANYWAY, I've found myself more and more concerned with the fact that I am not getting pregnant. We have been trying for about 2 1/2 years now. Following my surgery 3 years ago, my specialist at the Clinic said that he saw no signs of infertility, but suggested going right to invitro-fertilization anyway! At the time, my husband and I thought he was jumping the gun a little bit and we decided to try on our own. I have not talked to a doctor about it since then. I think its because I'm afraid of being told that I cannot conceive. We are from Ohio but my husband is in the military and we just relocated to Puerto Rico for the next 2 years. I'm not optimistic about finding a good doctor that is well-versed in endo. So I feel hopeless. I'm just wondering if anyone has been in the situation of having endo, trying to get pregnant for so long w/o success, and then getting prognant on their own?? I hope so. I guess I just need a little positivite story to keep me sane! I try really hard not to stress b/c I know that's not good. Thanks.
