get pregnant endometriosis image
Chrissy
Is there any hope for me getting pregnant?
I'm young and don't believe I have the condition too severely.
Did anyone here with endometriosis get pregnant?
How long did it take you?
Answer
I have very mild endometriosis.
It took me one month of trying to get pregnant.
*Don't worry! I was worried about getting pregnant with it too but it obviously didn't impact me. There is a 30% chance of infertility, but that means there is a 70% chance you have normal fertility.

I am 22 years old and have confirmed endometriosis. I had surgery for it about 4-5 months ago but I don't feel like its gone cause I still have all the same symptoms. I won't have medical insurance until the end of September and I'm getting married in October. My whole life all I've wanted to be "when I grew up" was a mom and now that i'm getting married I'm afraid I won't be able to have children. I've read all about how I may get cancer or need a hysterectomy or all these other awful things and I was just curious what are the real chances that I won't be able to have kids or that I'll get cancer or something? How hard it is it to get pregnant with endometriosis? My dr said I won't have any problems but after reading everything I'm not sure if i'm convinced.
Answer
If you have recurrent symptoms, it was not properly treated.
While Endometriosis can turn malignant, that is the exception, not the norm.
Hysterectomy is not a cure for Endo and is not a valid first-line treatment option.
While Endo is the leading cause of primary and secondary female infertility, there is no reason to assume that with proper treatment, you cannot conceive. Studies show that surgical removal (such as through excision - www.centerforendo.com â patients travel there from around the world) can and does increase fertility, even in stage III and IV patients. Careful and meticulous excision surgery can not only help resolve symptoms for the long-term, but can also drastically improve infertility. The aforementioned Center has a better than 50% success rate in their stage 4 Endo-related infertility patients, and 75% in their stage III patients, after Endo has been treated and removed (phenomenal, considering that rates for ablation, vaporization, etc. are far lower).
Careful excision and removal of Endo can treat the infertility instead of just going through all the expensive protocols without even trying to remove the disease. As far as vaporization, ablation, and other superficial surgical removals, the rates are far from 50-75% success and the disease will still be present to go on and cause symptoms.
Drug therapy like Lupron has never been shown to reduce infertility, and while alternative/homeopathic therapies can be helpful for some women in alleviating some of the painful symptoms associated with the disease, there have not been any evidence-based studies detailing any positive impact of herbal therapies, etc. on fertility rates either.
Your best bet is to seek the assistance of a true specialist who can meticulously remove the disease, thereby conferring the best possible benefits for pregnancy. A specialist will also be better suited to help you should IVF protocols become necessary down the road as well. Good luck and best wishes.
