Endo ‘frozen ovaries’ any advice?

I am 30 and have been TTC for 3 months with no success yet but obv still early days. However my doctors put me in for an internal ultrasound and bloods to check for Endo and PCOS as I wasn’t ovulating for a few months. I have now had two successful regular cycles since taking inositol CoQ10 and various other supplements aimed at helping fertility. My bloods came back normal however my scan has shown that my ovaries are stuck due to adhesions to the bowel. So my ovaries aren’t moving but no pcos and my ovaries look healthy inside. It’s just they wouldn’t move when she tried to nudge them. She asked if I had any pain during periods, heavy ones, pain during sex all of which were a no. They have written to the hopsital fertility clinic for advice and guidance on next steps, given usually you have to wait a year but because I have this diagnosis can I be seen quicker basically. I am wondering if it’s not endo and rather scar tissue from my c section 4 years ago as I’ve read thats common. No idea how long it’ll take to hear back from the hospital.

Any one had anything similar? Any fertility success stories? I conceived my daughter no issues 4 years ago and no idea how long I’ve had these ‘frozen’ ovaries. Just feeling really down and wondering if any one else is or was in a similar position. TIA x

Hiya, I know this was some time ago but wondered if you had an update? Were you able to conceive?

I have endometriosis but had excision surgery in 2024 to get rid of it and successfully conceived shortly after. However I recently had a scan and found out I now have frozen ovaries/ovaries stuck to my pelvis. We’re so ready for baby no2 and I’m worried this will not be possible without repeated surgery.

would love to hear your experience

Hi there, yes I am currently 6 weeks pregnant. Our issues turned out to be low progesterone and I concieved month one of progesterone support. However I did have tests done privately further and they confirmeD I didn’t have endo. However I did so much research at the time and it generally seemed quite positive. Sorry I can’t help you further, good luck in your journey x

Thank you so much for your reply @ajc1994 and congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope you’re feeling ok so far!

if they were able to confirm you don’t have endo, did they say what had caused the adhesions and “stuck” ovaries?

Thank you! They just put it down to where my ovaries were at the time of the scan, they can move all the time go behind bowels etc, I’m not sure but that was the result Of my NHs scan in September the I have private tests done in January and they said my ovaries were freely moving. Good luck x
