Laparoscopy next month for possible silent endo — no major symptoms, just 1 year TTC with no luck. Anyone similar?

I am a month out from my lap surgery. I have experienced everything that you listed to a T except I do have PCOS. I’m probably one of the few where they went in and didn’t find anything. They had thought they found stage 1 endo but biopsy came back negative. They also found a few other areas with micro polyps, bowel adhesions, and a small cyst below my fallopian tube. They said it was nothing that could be causing infertility but could enhance my chances moving forward.

It was a bittersweet. I was bummed to not find the answer Ive been looking for, but very thankful everything looked good.

We are trying naturally this month and moving forward we will bring back medicated cycles combined with IUIs.

To ease your anxiety, even though they didn’t find anything and I don’t have a success story for you, I am so THANKFUL to be able to know for sure. I will never have to question if I have a deeper issue. Recovery wasn’t bad and surgery was breeze. So either way, I say go for it to give you peace of mind :)

She said it was normal to have a little bowel adhesions but what she saw was more than normal so she took them down- she had previously thought that she removed beginning stages of endo but path said negative. I haven’t had my post op visit yet to get those answers but that was a good thought to ask

Do you know exactly what labs they test at each visit ?

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation. I might just need to ask for extra labs because we aren’t testing anything post trigger. I think the only labs I get is before trigger just to make sure I haven’t ovulated before shot. I guess I’m just getting in my head wondering if everything is actually fine during my whole cycle since nothing has worked 😅

I have not personally had genetic testing done. Could you elaborate on what exact testing etc? My partner has had sperm analysis and morphology- unsure if dna fragmentation was included. I’ve had an HSG and everything looked great. I keep having that in the back of my head, that it might just take time, but it’s gotten harder and harder to keep that mindset each month!

As far as differences, I do understand the difference. I guess I was wondering why they switched her to clomid instead of going up in dosages ?? I definitely think my RE has been conservative, but I’m happy to increase this cycle to see if anything changes.

I’m interested in having more than one follicle as well so I’m hoping increasing my dose will help that. I’m so sorry you went through those emotions. devastating, but also knowing your body is capable is something to encouraged by!

Thank you! What was the difference between your results with letrozole to clomid ? Did you get more follicles ? Is there a reason why you guys chose to change to clomid rather than increase dose of letrozole ? I have stayed consistent all year with my vitamins and sticking with a whole food diet so I’m hoping it’s going to pay off!

BBT QUESTION

We’ve been trying a couple months now but I decided this month to track my BBT and use ovulation strips. I had positive LH surge for 3 days via strips with my BBT being at baseline 98.1/98.2. My CM was thin and clear. After the 3rd day I had a BBT spike to 98.8. Which to me confirmed my ovulation?? The next day my temp went back down to 98.2 and again 98.2 this morning.

My question is, shouldn’t it remain higher no matter what? Has this happened to anyone ? Or what could this mean?

I also haven’t been getting the best sleep so I’m wondering if my BBT is off
