TTC #1 with Endometriosis

Looking for support since my recent diagnosis. We’ve been TTC since early this year. I had a chemical pregnancy in June.
However I have just had a laparoscopy to check out painful periods which confirmed I have endometriosis on my bladder and bowel. Apparently my uterus and ovaries are clear and of course the chemical pregnancy is a good sign that everything is working but Im really worried. The Endo currently can’t be removed due to location and size but in theory shouldn’t stop me getting pregnant. I’m due to have another gynaecologist appointment to discuss treatment options as one might be to have hormone injections to reduce the Endo and make it possible to remove surgically before then TTC again. But I’m sort of hoping I can get pregnant and deal with the Endo after having children. My other concern is that since TTC (coming off the pill) I spot for a few days before AF which I’m now realising is likely to be another endometriosis symptom and this also worries me. Obviously I will be discussing all this with the gynaecologist but it would be good to hear from women who have had or are experiencing a similar thing as I really wasn’t expecting the diagnosis I got and no one else in my family has Endo (that I know of).

Hey, jumping on an old post but all this discussed seems similar to my situation! So it would be great to hear how you all got on?. I’m trying for my 2nd and since found out I’ve had endo. I’ve had it all removed from arounnd my ovaries but they left it on my bowel as they said it wasn’t really worth the risk. Just hoping it doesn’t affect fertility 🙏🏻
