Hi Renel, did you see it?
thanks
It is called "Health Secrets and Infertility" with Paula Zahn on TV
If anyone is on here, please turn on WTTW it is all about Infertility! Experts from Northwestern Hospital speaking and an audience asking questions. It is very good. Many real people like us on there too battling Infertility. Check it out. By the wa…
Finally_a_Mom, thanks for the great discussion topic. Not only has it hit a personal nerve with SheenaB83, it has done the same for me!
I was a late bloomer - not starting my period until I was 16 - and I am, as an adult, thankful that they didn't…
I had PCOS all through my teens and took birth control to shrink the cysts. Later, the doctors told me about this new type of birth control and said I should take the DEPO(depro vera) shot, a birth control injection. This was suppose to keep me from…
Sarah,
Excellent article for those who have not seeked medical diagnosis and wonder if they have Endometriosis. It is described here perfectly. I have had it (Stage IV-V) since I was about 14 which I was told has caused my Infertility
Chicki, thanks for your response. I had them removed by ablation because they were so big and one was sitting on my rectum causing other problems. My Infertility was caused by my Severe Endometriosis and Fibroids. Then all the cysts caused by fertil…
I have not had surgery, but I've heard they can come back. My doctor didn't recommend surgery but she said I should get an ablation which I really don't want. Even though I'm 37 I'm still holding on to the hope that one day we will get pregnant agai…
Has anyone had fibroid tumors removed by surgery and have had them come back? I had my removed and now my Dr is saying she suspects they are growing back. Thoughts? Fibroids are known to cause miscarriages.
I think one of the number one side effects is weight gain and that is not on the list above. But, I do agree with the majority of the side effects you listed based on years of personal experience.

Hi Sarah, your friend is going thru an internal struggle of feeling different than other women because her body cannot conceive. Some woman can talk about it easily and others isolate themselves. It may be exspecially hard for her to be around pregn…
I do not think the resources are available until a woman sees an RE and learns more about them. Or for those of us that do research online prior to seeing an RE. Good info you listed above. It should helps those that are unaware of treatments.
I agree I feel too much tv watching for young kids is not good. They get some bad ideas from tv shows other than cartoons. They pick up vocabulary too that they shouldn't be using. I limit tv viewing and computer use. Too much computer use is bad fo…
Joinging WEGO and other online groups has given me the opportunity and support to face this challenge. It is good to know others experiences that may also help my situation too. Getting ideas from others and approaching my Dr with them has been help…
Myrtle, it sounds like you have been faced with some ignorant comments. I used to get them too. What worked for me is I would not attend those functions either. I would usually answer such as 'it takes some people longer than others to conceive.'

- HI,
Everyone who has experienced infertilty has their own unique story to share about their journey. Each of our stories are our personal, individual experience. There are also many similarities between each of us.
Your story resonates with me... I had infertilty for 5 years, being diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. I, too , had fibroids and underwent two surgeries to remove as much endo as they could!!
congratulations on being a mom...

Thank you for completing the survey. The next step is a quick phone call. My hope is to be in touch later this afternoon or on Monday of next week.
I see that you've already jumped into the conversation as well as several other groups, keep up the great work, and to let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you get started.
