I am 31 and my husband and I have been ttc for 5 years. I just had a laparoscopy done 5 months ago and found I have severe endo! That explains the infertility. Does anyone out there know my chances of conceiving through ivf? Any testimonials? I really need some encouragement, this has been a very painful battle : (
I do not have endometriosis but do know some women who had success with IVF after having it removed. You have a great shot with IVF if you have your endometriosis treated first. Once you get visible endo removed, you should follow that with about 3 months of Lupron to shrink any remaining endo. You will then have a window of about 3 to 6 months before the endometriosis starts to grow again.
There is a great forum, Fertile Thoughts, that has an endometriosis board with lots of women who have experience with IVF and endo. Here is the link http://www3.fertilethoughts.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22
I wish you luck!
