After eight years of symptoms and 4 years of secondary infertility, an MRI picked up stage 4 endometriosis. My ovaries are kissing, and I have blocked tubes.
My consultant has recommended having a minor operation first to sort my tubes and ovaries out, as because my endo is severe, I would have to be seen at a specialist centre, which can take up to two years.
I'm also approaching 40, so this will be my last shot of fertility.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and had positive results? I'm so fed up of feeling fatigued. I can push through most days and get on with life as ‘normal’ except for a couple of days when my periods come, as they are ridiculously heavy, which I think may be because of my adenomyosis.
I would go privately with my health insurance, but because I had been investigated for heavy periods before, they may class this as a pre-existing condition. How bloody ridiculous!
Has anybody been in a similar situation? TIA
