I have had pelvic pain since age 17. My Dr. felt it was Endo, but
refered me to someone else. The new Dr. did a Lapro and found extreme
adhesion which attached the intestines to an ovary. She removed the
adhesions and claimed to not find any sign of endo. Pain was relieved
for a month or two, then it was right back. I went back to the Dr. who
performed the surgery and she said she did her job there was nothing
wrong. I went back to my first Dr. who didn't buy it. She still felt
it was endo. We tried bcp and progestrone but nothing worked. She
suggested I try to get pregnant. (Problem was was that I had been
having unprotected sex for 3-4 years and never got pregnant.) My husband
and I tried everything to get pregnant. During that time the pain got
worse and I was hospitalized for pain control. I was again referred to
another Dr. who did another Lapro. The adhesions were back... but no
endo was found. My original Dr. and the 3rd Dr. still won't rule out
endo though. I have no history of surgeries or STDs. Nothing to give
cause to adhesions.
After the second Lapro, I got pregnant with my daughter!(with a little
hormonal help) NO problems for two years, now they are back...
Saw a 4th Dr. today who won't rule out endo either. She says it could
be so small they just aren't seeing it. After discussing my case with
another Dr. in the office, she gave me two options...hyst or Lupron.
Since I would like to have more kids I guess lupron is my best choice.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Being diagnosed with nothing found? And
how much harder will it be to get pregnant again after Lupron? I'm
scared of the effects it may have on my body.
