calling all mums with endometriosis who already have children

[sharl0511]

Hi, I have 3 children and have recently been told I have endometriosis :-(, my partner and I arnt using contraception as we want a final baby but it just isn't happening :-( my question is......has anybody already easily had children and then gone on to struggle to get pregnant? Did you try anything to help you get pregnant again? I feel as though I am on a time scale as we would like a closer age gap this time due to our age, thank you.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis years before having my 2 dc. I had no problem conceiving within 2 months after stopping pill. Have no idea how it is now as I'm on pill.

Sorry that wasn't v helpful

I had endometriosis for years, was on the pill, stopped taking it and immediately fell pregnant with dc1. Took another 7 years to get pregnant again after that! I never went back on the pill
I remember reading that when you stop the pill you release more eggs and therefore have a higher chance of getting pregnant (first 2 or 3 months I think). Perhaps this is what happened with me....? I have no idea where I read this or if it's true
I did mention it to a fertility consultant who looked at me like I was mad. Might be worth exploring!
