I was diagnosed with endo 15 years ago and told also that I probably would have a hard time conceiving. I went through Lupron for 6 months, which was really difficult but did improve my symptoms. Since then I have had 2 children. My symptoms always improve for about 3 years after each pregnancy then come back. The one thing I have learned over the years is that doctors really do not know everything. Trust your body. I consider myself to be a success story. I have two beautiful children. I am living despite endo or anything else wrong with my body. I am about to start the process all over again in trying to get diagnosed with PCOS. I have not been able to find a doctor that will take it seriously. I have learned to listen to my body when things don't feel right.
Just a FYI, I was never able to tolerate BCPs. My hormones have always been out of whack, and BCPs made things even worse. They also made the endo pain worse. If that happens to you, don't be afraid to tell your doctor no thanks. |
