Successful pregnancy with endometriosis?
Show your support
Congrats @Jade !!💗 I don’t know what stage I am. They saw it via ultrasound. Thanks for giving me hope🙂I’ll keep doing what I’m doing and hope for the best. We’ll find out if there’s a heartbeat week 6 on Oct 2nd 🙏 praying for a miracle
I have (after one miscarriage) and so did my Mum (she had 3 of us). Xx
I fell pregnant when unknowingly I had stage 4 endometriosis, during my 12 week scan they saw a 14cm chocolate cyst on the ultrasound so I had to have surgery during my pregnancy with my daughter to remove it along with my ovary and a tube. My daughter was born and then 18 months later I fell pregnant again with another successful pregnancy x
Yes definitely! I had 2ndary infertility. Took years to found out it was endo and do the surgery. I still needed IVF but have been successful twice with IVF. I just gave birth to my last baby last Saturday! It can happen. (IVF showed that my endo attacked the quality of my eggs and so I only get 1 blastocyst per round).
I did end up having the surgery which didn't help with the pain during cycles but I was able to conceive before they started trying ovulation induction or elevating fertility support. I had also cut out gluten, alcohol and inflammatory foods, and took prenatals, magnesium (lots of studies on this for endo!) and vit D. Wishing you a successful pregnancy and all the best on your endo and fertility journey ❤️
Ok so I did have the surgery (hysterscopy with laparoscopy) and def highly recommend it before going ivf. It does sooo much and helped! I had secondary infertility and had 3 back to back early miscarriages. My OB described endo and pregnancy is like water and oil, they just have a hard time sticking. I would just honestly hate that if it is endo, you wouldn’t get the BEST chance of conceiving via ivf bc of that reason. It’s so expensive, and so mentally hard. Once I had the surgery I took plenty of supplements as well that helped: probiotics, b12, CoQ10, vitamin D and iron. I fell naturally pregnant 4 months post op
@Kellie that’s amazing, Kellie! Gosh, that’s what I thought was going to be for me, but hoping this 4th one sticks. Thank you for sharing!🙂💗
@Jen omg that’s so wild! I can’t believe they did surgery on you while pregnant! I’m so glad everything went well! Did you follow any endo anti-inflammatory diet during your pregnancy?
@Kellie I forgot to ask, did you follow an endo anti-inflammatory diet while pregnant? I’m currently trying to do it to ensure my endo doesn’t flare up and baby stays safe.
@Hope oh wow Hope! I’m so glad you have been successful with IVF! That’s gives me hope too! If this natural pregnancy doesn’t stick then I’m hopeful IVF will work. If it doesn’t the first time around I’ll do the surgery and try again. I wonder if that’s what endo does for me. I’m able to get pregnant, but can never get past 6 weeks. My 3rd miscarriage I had to have a D&C because at 8weeks there wasn’t a heart beat and so they wanted me to come back 2 weeks later and still no heart beat. I’m thinking progesterone kept the baby in. Not sure. I also think baby implanted in an affected endo area 🤷♀️
@Candice thank you so much for sharing, Candice! Starting 2 weeks ago, I cut out gluten and have been on an anti-inflammatory diet. I don’t drink and I have been taking Perelel 1st trimester prenatals, vitamin D3, baby aspiring and progesterone vaginally so hoping that helps. Thank you again!🥹💗
@Kayleigh omg Kayleigh! He’s beautiful!!!🥹💙💙💙💙thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been praying every single day to make this 4th one my miracle baby! I’m so happy for you and your sweet baby boy!
@Sana omg that is definitely a miracle! Gosh I can’t believe IVF didn’t work. They inject and give women so many hormones to keep baby! Praying for you and baby too! God is good🙏🥹
@Lauren thank you so much, Lauren! Such a good perspective. I agree, it would be good to begin IVF right after surgery. I have a dr’s appt with my fertility doc Nov 1st. If this baby doesn’t stick I’ll ask her again about surgery and what she thinks. I don’t know what endo stage I am she only recently did an ultrasound on me and said I looks like I could have both endo and adeno. I like that explanation, like water and oil. Thank you again, Lauren!

@Sarah thankyou xx
Yep. I have stage 2, had my first son last year and currently pregnant with my second
Me! It took 3 years and being on progesterone the whole pregnancy to get our miracle!
@Nikki that’s wonderful Nikki! So excited for you and your second baby🙏❤️
@Kelsie hi Kelsie! That’s amazing! Im so glad you got your miracle baby!!🥹❤️did you have any miscarriages during the 3 years of trying? Did you get pregnant naturally or IVF?
@Hope hey would you Please share what protocol you did for your FET? Did you take estrogen?
@Sarah unfortunately, I had 3 miscarriages. My rainbow baby was actually a natural pregnancy which was so surprising given I had less than a 5% chance of that happening. IVF didn’t work out for us - that was one of our miscarriages.
@Kelsie Kelsie, your baby is truly a miracle! I’m so happy for you and your husband for beating the odds and having your little one naturally. Were you nervous during your 4th pregnancy or were you taking it day by day? Did you always feel determined to keep trying no matter what? You are so strong, and your story gives me so much hope and you and everyone else on here give me so much strength💗thank you🥹
@Lucie my 1st FET (now 21mo) was a full natural cycle since it was about 29-30 days long. Any longer my clinic wouldn’t allow a natural cycle for success reasons. 2nd FET (13 day old!!) was a modified natural cycle - letrozole at the start, trigger shot and then progesterone. No estrogen (to not make endo worse) GLx
Me! I was due surgery this year, first one to remove all the endo Im stage 3. I came off the birth control pill in January (been on it 10 years) not thinking I'd be able to fall pregnant at all because I was told there wasn't a high chance. I didn't ovulate the first 4 months. And then all of a sudden I ovulated and fell pregnant in may. I'm 21 weeks pregnant today x
