Risks of being pregnant with chocolate cyst?

feeds@yuku.com (new2010) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:51:48 GMT

Hello,

I have recently been diagnosed with having an ovarian cyst which the consultant is pretty certain is an endometrial cyst. It was discovered while I was having an ultrasound scan due to bleeding in early pregnancy - I miscarried at 7 weeks. The cyst is about 10cm and the consultant said I should have key hole surgery to remove it and that I will have to wait about 3 months for...

Pre pregnancy nerves!

feeds@yuku.com (munchgarbage) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:23:27 GMT

Hi all, I wanted to ask some people about how you all felt when you decided that you wanted to become pregnant. I had lap surgery last summer and already the pain is back. My partner and I have been together for 4 years and I'm almost 26 (he's 32). We can't afford to get married as it's a bulk sum of money, but we could afford a child. If we saved for a wedding then it may be too late before we start trying for our second. Anyway, weddings aside, I'm really nervous about...

No more ivf so danazol?

feeds@yuku.com (rachaelhenshilwood) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:58:18 GMT

Evening all,

I need some advice please. Having had four rounds of ivf now with one successful birth and one successful pregnancy (though miscarriage at 19 weeks) I find myself more desperate than ever to have another baby. I didn't think I would ever get this obsessed particularly as I'm so lucky already to have one, and although I won't admit it to anyone who knows me somehow I feel I can on here...

We have run out of money for anymore ivf attempts/are now...

pregnancy after laparoscopy

feeds@yuku.com (sarahsh15) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:56:28 GMT

Hi all

I had a laparoscopy on 3rd Nov and had some endometriosis deposits lasered off. I was due my period on weds (as my cycle is normally only 25 days) but it hasn't arrived yet. Has anyone else had a laparoscopy and then a late period or even a pregnancy straight away?

I have my fingers crossed after trying for almost a year that my dreams of having another baby have finally come true

Hi i know i'm prob being a little silly with all this - but i've ha dops for endo so far - and then this year was on a bupronorphine patch which worked well- but came off it in auguest to start trying for a baby.

Thing is i know i'm in no major rush - and it's prob cus i'm feeling quite emotional tonight (which is...

Endometriosis and want a baby

feeds@yuku.com (katietaylor) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:54:25 GMT

Hi everyone. I am new to all this so i hope i do it right! :~)

I was diagnosed with Endomeriosis about 4 years ago after battling with my doctor to do something about the amazingly painful cramps i was getting. I was eventually (6 months later)operated on due to the fact they also found abnormal cells. Since then i have been on the pill, mainly to control the pain but also due to the fact i wasnt ready for a family. Well...now i am. I am really confused as to what to do, i have...

Hi guys
Much to my total disbelief, after seven months of trying before my lap in July, and after a few months on Mercilon pill up till my wedding, I realised today it had been six weeks since came off Pill/started ttc on night of wedding four weeks ago exactly and no period despite lots of period type cramping at times - got my follow up smear after abnormal cells tomorrow morning so thought I'd better check, though was pretty despondent about it - and it's positive!

Our Little Miracle!

feeds@yuku.com (Samsmithclarke74) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:14:30 GMT

Hi Ladies,

In 2005 I was told by my then gynae consultant that I would be unable to conceive naturally due to severe stage 4 endo, or if I did manage it through IVF the chances of me being able to carry a non-ectopic pregnancy would be minimal. However, following a missed miscarriage in October 2008 (and much astonishment from my gynae team) our beautiful daughter Beatrice was born on 29 October 2009 by emergency C-Section weighing a very robust 8lb.

The pregnancy was...

Endo Diet whilst pregnant

feeds@yuku.com (Hells Bells77) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:48:51 GMT

Hi,

I have just had a positive pregnancy test. I know it is early days but I want to do things right as the odds are stacked against me and this is my first pregnancy.

I have been following the endo diet (no dairy, meat, wheat etc) and I am wondering if I need to make any changes to the diet to make sure that the little nipper has everything they need. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am struggling to find any help. I either find the endo diet guidelines or...

feeds@yuku.com (lau 12345) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:51:33 GMT

hiya, oh boy i feel ill, don't have morning sickness but just feel really unwell nausous and exhausted. To top it off ive had several dental problems, pain from a back tooth that has spread to my ear and neck. I hate being in pain, my dentist has gone on holiday and they think i might have an infection but due to no xrays while preg they can't be sure. I had some antibiotics left over from another tooth problem so I've started taking them as ive been unable to see anyone about it....

We have been trying to get pregnant foralmost 2 years, after the first year i visited my GP and investigations began as to why we were struggling and why my periods were so irregular. A year on in July 09 they found a large cyst on my left ovary, i had an operation to remove the cyst. 6 weeks after the op i find out i am pregnant - GREAT NEWS! i am now early 10 weeks and have just returned to see my consultant for my post op assesment. I inform her i am pregnant, which she is suitably...

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I haven't been on for a few weeks, was having an awful time of it, my Endo was back with vengeance, my husband was working away, then he lost his job, blessing in disguise really we were not getting on, then I lost my job, another blessing in disguise as got offered a great job straight away.

On Saturday night we realised that my period was 8 days late, I'd noticed that I hadn't come on but put it down to stress and the fact I was losing...

Hiya,

I thought it would be good to share our success stories to show others ttc that it can happen.

I'll start.

I have multiple miscarriages, lots of heartache, clomid cycles that didn't work etc, as well as a rocky pregnancy with bleeding, burst cysts and haemotomas, my little boy was born on the 31st July 2007!

Hello all,

Well it's been some time since I was round these parts, but I was just looking for a little more advice about endo and pregnancy and thought I'd stop by.

Firstly congrats to all the others reading this thread who have also been lucky enough to conceive after enduring such a debilitating disease. It makes you realise just how amazing the human body can be in the face of adversity.

Like many other stories I've read here, I was told I'd...

Hi All,

I guess if you are reading this you probably have had some good news and are pg - congratulations!

At a recent gynae appointment we decided our plan was for me to have another lap and then ttc from around xmas time if appropriate. So I guess I am interested to know about your experiences of ttc and being pregnant with endo. (If you dont mind!)

In particular if you can tell me whether you were...

What to do after having babies? (babies mentioned)

feeds@yuku.com (Asyah) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:02:06 GMT

Hi

I've just recently had my twins after being told it was nearly impossible to conceive naturally.I was waiting for my IVF appointment when I found out I was pregnant. At my 7 week scan I found out I was having twins. I dont want to go on about it too much because I understand how upsetting it can be for ladies with endo, as I am one of them.

My endo was quite bad, stage 3, badly damaged insides. I've had two periods since having my babies and was wondering if and...

I have some amazing news about Jenny, who many of you will remember. She has had a very rough ride with endo and throughout all of her pain has managed to be a support to many of us here, has been an amazing friend to me since we met at uni, and even helped with JailBreak.

Sometime ago she left a message saying that she was having a tough time and needed some space and although she has kept in contact with many here, she hasn't posted on the board since....

Im pregnant with Endometriosis...any ideas for pain relief?

feeds@yuku.com (DFolan26) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 13:44:49 GMT

I had surgery 3 months ago and was told I had a severe case of Endometriosis. I have now found out I am 5-6 weeks pregnant so I can no longer take the strong pain relief I have been for the severe and excruciating abdominal pains of Endometriosis. I am bedridden...in constant agony and beginning to become very distressed about this as its becoming unbearable. I'm already worried about the pregnancy as I have had more miscarriages than I can remember. I really need to find away to, if not...
