Endometriosis anyone?

So I finally opened up about my fertility issue with two dear friends.  I told them the issue is me and that we had tried treatments.  Both ladies asked the same question: Could you have endometriosis?


Ends up one lady's daughter in law had infertility due to endometriosis and the other lady just has the condition and knew that infertility is a side effect. 


SO, I told them about my periods and they have convinced me to research the subject and set up a consultation with a different doctor than the one I have been seeing.  I am excited to change doctors but nervous that it won't really solve anything. 


Do any of you have infertility due to endometriosis?  If so, could you tell me about the process of diagnosis, symptoms, and fertility treatments?


THANKS!!

Have you been diagnosed with this? (BTW, I don't have it). It seems to me you would have a lot of the symptoms and have noticed it already if you have it. My cousin had endometriosis, she's also had 2 kids in spite of it.

Hi Ashley,


I go in for my first laproscopic surgery next Thursday for what looks like a endometriosis cyst.

Hey there ladies!!


I am new here, but I need some place to get things off my mind! I don't feel I can talk about this topic with anyone else! I am only 23 years old, and my husband and I just got married a year ago ( he is going on 30 this year)! I have been diagnosed with endometriosis and PID. I had been going to my OBGYN, who I love, and he was great! He performed a laparoscopic surgery and thats when he gave me a definite diagnosis.
