I have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids and Endometriosis. I am only 29. and have been ttc.?


It has been 12yrs since finding out i have Endro. and only about 3yrs since finding fibroid. My husband & I have been ttc off and on for several years. We have one daughter who is 6. For almost a year now we have again been trying, with no luck. The reason it has been on and off is because of the pain. After being off the pill for a while the pain gets to be too much. So far this year i have held off for 9mths w/ no pill. Does any one know what a doctor can do to find out if you are fertile?

I would definately recommend visiting http://www.ivf.com for a ton of accurate info and materials on how to cope w/infertility, including effective treatments for the Endo/fibroids and what options exist in terms of IVF should that become necessary. Also recommend seeing http://www.centerforendo.com for info on the best treatments for Endo and other causes of pelvic pain/infertility. Good luck.

More than likely it is the endometriosis and the fibroid that is causing the problem, fibroids can get quite large, the size of a grapefruit or larger, you really need to talk to your doctor about this problem. I assume that you probably also have pretty painful periods too, heavy bleeding cramps and lower back pain and sometimes pain into the upper thigh areas. These are all signs that you may have one large fibroid or several smaller ones. So I would consult with the doctor before trying to get pregnant and get his or her advice.
