Answer 1

I have endometriosis. Firstly, it is untrue that endometriosis can be overcome via pregnancy. Endometriosis is an incurable disease until menopause arrives. It can be controlled, but is not incurable. Menstruating is the key factor, which feeds this disease.Don't let any doctor fool you and tell you it is incurable. Some women after becoming pregnant and then giving birth with the disease, become worse. To date, no one knows what causes endometriosis. For some, it is hereditary.

To answer your question, how soon to become pregnant, usually after surgery your womb is open. If you start conception thereafter, you should be fine. Take your vitamins (b's, i think) and eat a healthy diet. Daily exercise also helps.

You said it best: "I know little about all this." Well I've had this disease for 10 years.

With endo, one must change their diet. Remove all red meat, dairy; basicially one needs to adhere to a vegetarian diet. One also needs to increase lots of fruits +veggies, preferably organic and not the atypical nasty, processed, preserved, american foods. Eat loads of fiber. Linseed is an excellent source of fiber. Endo dislikes high fiber diets. Clean your colon on a daily basis as well. i.e. colon cleansers. Life and death begins in the colon.

Relax. Yoga + Meditation helps as well. Some women have the highest level of endometriosis and become pregnant quickly and easily. While they're others who have the disease mildy, and by far have more discomfort and problems with infertility. Again, doctors as well as modern medicine do not know what causes the disease. The disease effects women similarly, yet differently.

I'm in my 30's and still not freaked out by this disease as so many doctor's would like me to be. Some are quick to slice and dice for medical profits/insurance. I've had laproscopy three times. Would've been twice and now my doctor says I need another endo cleaning--yeah right.

I radically changed my diet and the doctor's wondering what happened. Take a holistic/naturapathic approach to life/medicine and see what happens.

Answer 2

I was in the same situation as you are. I had a lap for an ovarian cyst and found out that I also had endo. I had my surgery in October 2001. In January 2002 I found out I was pregnant. It is true that having a baby will temporarily stop endo but it's not a cure. There is no cure for endo, even a hysterectomy is not a guarantee.
The best time to try to conceive would be in the months following your surgery since the endo has not had that much time to grow back. Everybody is different and not everyone who has endo becomes infertile. I wouldn't freak out about it.

Good luck :)

Answer 3

Neither pregnancy, hysterectomy nor menopause are cures for Endometriosis. There is no absolute cure, and a woman or girl need not have regular menses to suffer from the disease (were that true, women who have undergone hysterectomy, menopause or drug suppression would be cured). There are literally countless case reports and academic studies on Endometriosis persisting after all interventions. In any event, the best time to attempt conception - if that is what you choose based on your own wishes, not a doctor's "prescription for pregnancy to treat the Endo" - is within the first 6 months following surgical removal of the disease.

i might get a 2nd opinion from yet another wellbeing care provider. i might additionally decide to assert which you're so fortunate you're actually not in discomfort. I genuinely have endo and that i've got discomfort on a each and on a daily basis foundation. i'm not sure what all this suggests which you reported, yet i understand that it sounds severe for somebody no longer experiencing any discomfort. This additionally confuses me because of the fact my wellbeing care provider informed me that if I had a hysterectomy it would end my discomfort because of the fact the endo might end turning out to be. Get a 2nd opinion for specific. Or a minimum of a extra effectual rationalization of why the wellbeing care provider thinks you like all this.

Answer 5

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.
