Endometriosis and infertility

[thechocolatefrog]

I've just been diagnosed with endometriosis and an inguinal cyst suspected to consist of endometrial tissue. The endometriosis is in my uterus and around it and in my 'pouch of douglas'. Doctor described it as small lesions and did tell me not to Google as it 'isn't like that'.

Upon deciding not to listen to the doctor and using doctor Google it has said that endometriosis in the pouch of Douglas is a deep endometriosis that is linked with infertility...

Pls pls pls can somebody help/advice. I have an appointment next week in which I'm hoping I'll get further details but I'm absolutely distraught.

I am absolutely petrified and beside myself thinking that I could now be infertile.

Sorry to hear about your stressful experience.

I think the doctor is right in saying you should avoid seeking too many comparatives on the internet as your situation will undoubtedly be unique to you.

Consequently, no one on this forum will be best placed to provide you advice but the doctor who has carried out tests / seen the results.

This is also because there's a spectrum of severity when it comes to endometriosis. Some women may be infertile, but some also carry children with no issue - which is why Dr said don't Google.

Best of luck, I hope it's not a major issue.
