    Pregnancy hard with Endometriosis?
    I have been growing increasingly concerned about this possible pregnancy. I took an HPT yesterday morning and it came out negative, now I realize it may have been too early to test since I am not expecting my period until Sunday. The plan is to retest tomorrow, and Sunday. But that's besides the point, just putting that out there.
    My question is regarding my endometriosis. I have been diagnosed with this condition 7 years ago, and it had gotten so bad that I had to undergo yearly labraoscapies. All including simply removing it and causing scar tissue to stop it from reappearing. My last one was nearly 2 years ago now due to having joined the military. But at that time they had informed me I should have children within 5 years since I was recommended to have a hysterectomy.
    I'm not sure what my chances are of getting pregnant. I have been trying to research this condition more over the past year, but now since I am so positive that I am pregnant I was curious to what my chances actually are. I realize your chances to get pregnant on a regular basis are very small as well, but does having this condition decrease it even farther?

    I am so confused, and we have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now that I feel this is finally a blessing... even though I don't have my 100% yet.

    Any thoughts?

    I had the same problem as yourself with Endometriosis and in January this year I had a labraoscapy operation. The way my problem was found was last year I had 3 misscarriges so they booked me in for a operation 28/01/2009. When I come round from my operation myself and partner agreed to not think about getting pregnant all the time. And on 5/02/2009 I had a period for 4days and thought nothing of it then 5/03/2009 I found out I was pregnant and I am now 30weeks pregnant with a little girl. Don't give up. But don't think about it all the time because if you do your body cannot relax so when it comes to trying your body noes your not relax so the chances are very low. Good luck. X

    I agree with the comment posted. Keep the fun in trying to make a baby don't make it a chore! And don't give up either. A think to be aware of is that by wanting it to happen so much it is possible to see signs and symptoms that are something else and that pms can be mistaken for pregnancy. X
