Hey all,
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 21. When I had my lacroscopy, they told me they didn't find any tissue growth on my reproductive organs (only on my pelvis), and that we could keep it under control with Cyclomen and birth control. I have been (relatively) pain-free since then.
I'm now 24, married and trying to have a baby. We've been trying to conceive now for about 7 months. My cycles are regular (30 days on the nose) and I used an OPK for a couple months to make sure I was having LH surges at the right times (which I am). I don't know if it's the endo that is making conception difficult, or if there is some other underlying problem. All I know is that I want to be pregnant, and I'm tired of the heartbreak at the end of every month.
I've recently become interested in alternative medicine, and have started myself on 1000mg of bee propolis a day after reading a fertility study. I'm also looking into herbs like **** Quai, echinacea, rehmannia and horsetail.
If anyone has had success with alternative treatments, whether it be Chinese medicine, acupuncture, funky-smelling teas, reiki, voodoo, I don't care, just please share any advice or experience.
