I noticed your post under Pregnant over 40 and was wondering if you have any advice.   You mentioned that you have endo.  If you don't mind me asking, how severe was your endo?  Did you do anything different leading up to BFP?     Vitamins, eating habits, acupuncture?    I've been noticing hot flashy lately and really thinking that I should just hang it up.  After reading your post I am wondering if the fluctuation of hormones might give me a chance at this.  TIA.

Hi!  My endo was pretty severe.  I had two laprascopies in the last 8 years to have endo cleaned out, was on Lupron twice and in April I seriously talked to my Dr. about a hysterectomy because I just couldn't take the pain anymore. 

We had all but given up....I hadn't thought about getting PG in two years and we had moved on with our lives.  I did buy something on the interenet called Endovan (endovan.com) for endometriosis just to see if it would help as a last ditch effort before a hysterectomy.  I was on it for 6 weeks.......and PG!  Have no clue if there is a correlation but....it did help the pain and is worth a try if you want to get PG, you never know!  LOL

Other than that no special vitamins or accupuncture.  I did think because of the endo I was going into early menopause because as I mentioned the last 6 months I was having a day full of hot flases about 5 days after my period started.  So that is why this pregnancy was an absolute shock!

Good luck.......and try Endovan.  I guess it was worth the money to me if that's what helped me!

 Take care...
