Trouble TTC

Ladies with endo.

At what point did you discuss the possibility of endo with your doctor? And when did they do a lap?

My last doctor said that I had endo but we needed to get through basic testing first before I had a lap. The doctor I'm seeing now didn't even seem cOncerned about what my previous doc had said or my incredibly painful periods.

I'm wondering when I should push this topic.

Re: Ladies with endo.

  • As soon as my RE began to suspect endo he suggested a lap.  He saw signs of endo on my ultrasounds and I have a strong family history of it.  Are you seeing an RE?  Are you thinking endo is causing you trouble TTC?

  • Thanks ladies. I am lucky to have insurance that will cover a lap. I thought it was weird that he didn't seem concerned at all, especially since my previous doctor was. I am going to make an appointment and talk about this.

  • My RE is slightly suspicious that I may have endo. However, since the lap removal is mainly to help with pain control and only helps 1 out 30 people women get pregnant. I am not going to have a lap at this point.
