17. My wife had pretty good endometriosis...
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 09:48 AM by SidDithers
We were 2 years of trying with no results. Her OB/GYN did a laproscopic "cleaning" (for lack of a better word) of endometrial tissue, and then she was 6 months on Lupron. She was basically in menopause for 6 months, but that gave her body a chance to heal without endometrial tissue regrowing. Once she came off the Lupron, the Doc told us we had a good window of about 3 or 4 months, where our chances of getting pregnant would be good. I was looking forward to lots of "trying", but BAM, we got pregnant in the first month.

When we decided to go for #2, a couple of years later, there were no problems and we were pregnant again within a couple of months.

Our story is not nearly as involved as many couples. We've had friends who've had some really difficult experiences. But I throw our story out there to illustrate that sometimes the solutions are relatively simple.

Good luck!

Sid
