Endometriosis making me have secondary infertility!?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello all! Just a little back story. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2007, after I had LP and Depo Lupron shots I conceived without any effort and had my daughter in 2012, then another daughter in 2014, and a son 2016. All, zero issues first try they were there, maybe luck? Here it is almost a year and I cannot conceive! My husband really would like another child and I can't say I disagree lol. I have seen countless obgyns and have been told I'm normal and I'm just missing my window, impossible. So I have scheduled an appointment with Shady Grove and I'm curious has anyone gone through this before!? What were your treatment options. A part of me says count my blessings and don't bother trying anymore it's not meant to be. But I just feel our family isn't quite complete yet and would love another! Any advice would be great ??

    A lot of women w/endo struggle toconceive & complete one oregnancies, including spending a fortune on infertility drugs.  Others don't have as much trouble.

    Much depends on your age, which you didn't mention.  But I have a real life endo friend who had her3d child at about 39.  It's unpredictable.  I was like you:  uber-fertile until suddenly I wasn't.

    This is only meant kindly in case worse comes to worst:  you can always adopt.  I come from a family of 7 kids, so I understand wanting 4!

    I hope all goes well for you.

    Yes we've thought about adoption and that's an option for us! But I'd really like another of our very own. I miss going through pregnancy as crazy as that sounds lol. But I'm only 25.

      I know there are women who enjoy the whole process.

      It's too early to know, so just keep enjoying the practice, lol.  I was infertile by 25 but others are still getting pregnant late in their 30s.  As I know you know, worry is an enemy of conception.
