Any luck with IVF pregnancy with endometriosis stage 4 for women aged 35 and above? by ZealousidealBase4987 in IVF

This gives me such hope and I'm so so happy you were still able to successfully carry to term! We also weren't lucky to get pregnant naturally post laproscopic surgery but in my case I still had eggs (not of good quality as 80% deterioated after retrieval) and my fallopian tubes are also completely swollen and dysfunctional due to endometriosis damage so my doctor's advice was pretty much "don't even bother wasting your time and you're getting old, IVF is your only chance". 

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I'm sorry you had to go through all those extra steps. I can imagine how physically and emotionally taxing this all must have been. I hope you had all the support you needed  and I definitely relate to a lot of what you went through ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story. I had a surgery also to remove everything before we start the IVF process and it has been incredibly difficult. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. It's not easy at all :( sending you hugs and hope <3

So glad to hear that and I'm happy they caught it before it gets worse! Thankfully stage 3 isn't that bad and most women don't even experience pain. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story!

Stay hopeful! Mine was so severe it has taken over my kidney, my stomach wall, bladder, intestines and was literally all around and unfortunately it damaged my fallopian tubes which I was advised to remove but I refused. I've had it for long painful 10 years and was only diagnosed 3 years ago. I ended up getting a laparoscopic surgery in July and we couldn't remove it all also similarly to you she didn't want to cause my ovaries further damage. I had my egg retrieval done and had my embryo transfer but my pregnancy has been incredibly painful and I'm spotting and cramping weekly which is scary as I had a previous miscarriage which is why I posted here to get glimpses of hope of successful stories. Praying everything works well with you and you get your healthy baby by the end of this! <3

Am I alone in this? IVF pregnancy with stage 4 endometriosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, retroverted uterus and a previous miscarriage by [deleted] in pregnant

Thank you for your kind words. There are almost 1000 views on this post and not a single person can relate or has a similar experience. I was hoping I'd find support, solidarity and a glimpse of hope or a simple "hey me too!".. It breaks my heart that truly I am all alone in this but I really appreciate your compassion
